Used 2022 Jeep Cherokee for Sale near Washington, DC

Currently (and still) in its fifth generation since 2014, the Jeep Cherokee continues to be an important member of the Jeep brand. In fact, despite going nearly a decade without a major redesign, Cherokee sales are strong. The Cherokee saw a 1-percent increase in third-quarter sales this year compared to 2021, showing its resilience. The 2022 model year brings some key updates for the Jeep Cherokee midsize SUV. Available trims have been whittled down to four, but there are more standard features to start, including infotainment add-ins such as an 8.4-inch center display, Uconnect 4C, and SiriusXM Radio. New for 2022 is the Jeep Cherokee X. This four-wheel-drive (4WD)-only model is a mid-level entry following the Cherokee Latitude LUX. The Latitude LUX was all-new last year and was positioned above the Latitude and Latitude Plus trims. However, those trims have been dropped for 2022, leaving the Latitude LUX as the Cherokee’s new base model and the only trim offered with front-wheel drive (FWD). X, Trailhawk, and Limited trims round out the rest of the 2022 Cherokee lineup and remain 4WD-only models. Also seeing some downsizing are the available color combinations. Exterior choices now number eight (down from last year’s 12). Fans of the Jeep paint palette that includes Light Brownstone, Olive Green, Sangria, and Spitfire Orange will be disappointed. Interior options are either all black or black with Ski Gray accents. The Black-and-Light-Frost pairing is gone. Jeep may have taketh away some things for 2022, but the off-road-loving automaker giveth as well. The newly appointed entry-level Latitude LUX is equipped with a now-standard 7-inch full-color instrument panel display and a plethora of convenience features. These include a power liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 7-inch full-color instrument panel display, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a security alarm, a universal garage door opener, and a 115-volt power outlet. The new Cherokee X model adds more in terms of rugged styling thanks to Gloss Black features in the front fascia and badging, as well as unique hood and door decals. The leather bucket seats of the Latitude LUX are swapped for a premium cloth/vinyl mix in the X model. The Cherokee X also receives an extra inch of suspension lift for more capability and a total ground clearance of 8.7 inches. Standard across the lineup is the latest in Uconnect infotainment technology. With the Uconnect 4C system, all 2022 Cherokee models enjoy faster start-up times, quicker processing power, and higher-resolution graphics. Uconnect 4C includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration with available navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Jeep Skill for Amazon Alexa. The 2022 Jeep Cherokee carries over two powertrains, both of which are paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine for all Cherokee models is a 3.2-liter V6 that produces 271 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque. The EPA-estimated fuel economy is up to 29 mpg combined for FWD models or 27 mpg for 4WD. Available on the Cherokee Limited is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Its output is 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy for the turbo-four is rated at 29 mpg combined. On sale now, the 2022 Jeep Cherokee starts at $34,895 for the Latitude LUX FWD (not including the $1,595 destination fee). Opting for 4WD will add another $1,500. The 4WD-only Cherokee X has a starting price of $35,245, which is less than a Latitude LUX 4WD ($36,395). The top-of-the-line Cherokee Limited starts at $39,345, and the optional 2.0-liter turbo adds another $695.
