How much does the 2014 Jeep Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 8.21% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,288 listings available, which suggests you have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $8,932.66, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee a good car?

It’s a mixed but appealing choice if you value comfort, capability, and a more polished take on the Cherokee nameplate.

You’re looking at a 3.86/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating, which lines up with the model’s split personality: strong appeal in some areas, but not without caveats. The model scores 8/10 across Performance, Form and function, Technology, and Safety.

Owners commonly praise its comfort, stylish design, and good features, especially in higher trims. The overview also points to strong performance, foul-weather handling, comfort, and materials, which makes it a better fit if you want a crossover that feels more substantial than a basic commuter. At the same time, the launch was rocky, so you should weigh the appealing cabin and capability against early quality concerns.

23.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee reliable?

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee was launched with initial quality concerns, so reliability should be part of your used-car checklist.

Owners describe it as reliable for buyers who value comfort and interior quality, and they also mention dependable-feeling features in higher trims. The expert review adds that the Cherokee’s V6 feels refined and that the 9-speed automatic is impressive in how it finds the right gear, which supports the impression of a well-sorted powertrain when equipped properly. The cost-effectiveness notes also point to 5 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage and roadside assistance.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that early build-quality issues can show up in ownership, so a careful inspection and service-history review matter more than usual.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Jeep Cherokee?

At 57.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with prior damage. Focus on overall condition, signs of uneven wear, and whether the equipment works as expected, since the model’s early launch issues make documentation and inspection especially valuable.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sport starts with Bluetooth connectivity and streaming audio, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, a 5-inch Uconnect touchscreen with voice control, USB and auxiliary inputs, and 17-inch steel wheels. Latitude adds fog lights, roof rails, a 115-volt household-style power outlet, a fold-flat front passenger seat with storage, leather accent trim, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Limited adds automatic headlights, heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rear-view camera, leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, push-button start, an 8.4-inch screen, and 18-inch alloys. Trailhawk is the off-road-focused choice with a standard full-time 4WD system, locking rear axle, skid plates, raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and hill-descent control.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder makes 184 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 9-speed automatic. The optional 3.2-liter V6 makes 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque and is not offered on the Sport. Fuel economy is described as competitive, with FWD versions of the 4-cylinder rated up to 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, while the V6 is more powerful and still reasonably efficient for the class.
• Safety package: The optional Technology Group bundles blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure and forward-collision systems, intelligent cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, and a parallel and perpendicular self-parking feature. It is restricted to Limited and Trailhawk models.
• Infotainment: The Cherokee uses Uconnect, with a 5-inch touchscreen on the Sport and an available 8.4-inch screen on higher trims. The system includes voice control, can serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot, and supports app access through a smartphone-linked account setup.
• Fuel efficiency: The 4-cylinder is rated up to 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway in FWD form, or 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway with Active Drive I 4WD. The V6 is rated at 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in FWD form, with Active Drive I reducing highway mileage by 1 mpg.

Which 2014 Jeep Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee is offered in 4 trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Limited, Trailhawk.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Cherokee basics at the lowest price, including Bluetooth, streaming audio, and the 5-inch Uconnect screen. It makes sense if you want the model’s core character and plan to keep the budget tight, but it’s the least equipped version.
• Latitude: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds useful everyday upgrades like fog lights, roof rails, a power outlet, and a fold-flat front passenger seat, while also bringing a more upscale feel with leather accent trim and alloy wheels.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the Cherokee to feel genuinely well equipped, since it adds the rear-view camera, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, push-button start, the larger 8.4-inch screen, and a heated steering wheel.
• Trailhawk: This is the one to buy if you want the Cherokee’s most capable setup, with standard full-time 4WD, a locking rear axle, skid plates, raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and hill-descent control.

The safety-oriented Technology Group is restricted to Limited and Trailhawk models.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Jeep Cherokee?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 23.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,288 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.21% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,932.66, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's resale value?

The current average of $8,927 sits slightly below last year's $9,725.

That price movement suggests the Cherokee has softened enough to create a more favorable buying window today. For a future seller, that also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, trim, and whether the vehicle has a clean history.

Because the market has already moved down 8.21%, a well-kept example may hold up better than a rough one, but you should still plan for depreciation if you buy now and sell later.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee safe?

The Cherokee earned a spot on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Picks list.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes 10 airbags, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, hill-start assist, a rear-view camera, front active head restraints, LED taillights, and emergency response services through Uconnect. The optional Technology Group adds blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure and forward-collision systems, intelligent cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, and a parallel and perpendicular self-parking feature.

A key caveat is that the Technology Group is not available on every trim, so if you want the fullest safety feature set, you’ll need to shop Limited or Trailhawk models.

Should I buy a 2014 Jeep Cherokee or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 23.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.21% compared with last year.
• After a somewhat rocky and delayed launch, the Cherokee is described as a more polished and versatile take on the nameplate, with strengths in performance, foul-weather handling, comfort, and materials.

The bottom line: If you want the Cherokee’s more polished early-year character and you can verify condition carefully, the 2014 can be a smart buy. If you’re especially price-sensitive, focus on the best-documented examples and be selective about history and trim, since the early launch concerns make a thorough inspection more important than usual.
