Which Jeep Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee offers these trims:

• Base: The entry model gives you the Cherokee’s standard hybrid powertrain, standard all-wheel drive, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and standard driver-assistance features. It’s the best-value starting point if you want the core Cherokee experience without moving up the lineup.
• Laredo: This trim adds more equipment while keeping the same overall Cherokee formula, and it’s a smart step up if you want a better-balanced mix of features and price.
• Limited: This trim adds leatherette seats, wireless device charging, and the Cherokee’s more upscale everyday feel, making it a strong choice if you want more comfort and convenience.

Should I buy a used Jeep Cherokee now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2022 model is at −8.99% versus a year ago, and the 2021 model is at −10.33%.
• Deal availability: The 2021 model has 33.1% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2020 model has the most listings at a current average price of $16,852. The Jeep Cherokee offers a recognizable Jeep badge, useful capability, and a comfortable everyday driving character.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The new Cherokee’s specs don’t seem very Jeep-like at first. The only powertrain available at launch consists of a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine connected to a two-motor hybrid system with a planetary gearset taking the place of a conventional transmission, similar to what Subaru and Toyota use. It’s good for 210 horsepower and 230 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: The 2026 Cherokee comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, still running the same Uconnect 5 infotainment system as the outgoing Cherokee from the 2023 model year. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto remain standard.
• Safety: Jeep offers similar standard driver-assistance features to other mainstream brands, including forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality. Active Driving Assist, which pairs automated lane centering with adaptive cruise control for highway driving, is also standard.
• Starting price: Pricing starts at $36,995 for the base model.

If you're buying used today, the 2020 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
