Jeep Cherokee (Euro Version)

Jeep Cherokee, the Jeep mid-size Sport Utility Vehicle, has evolved into a completely new vehicle fully expressing the brand's core values of freedom, authenticity, adventure and passion and delivering to customers a fresh interpretation of the "Go anywhere, do anything" attitude of the legendary American brand.

With the introduction of the 1984 Jeep Cherokee, three decades ago, Jeep invented the mid-size SUV category. The all-new compact SUV of the Jeep brand was the first vehicle of its type and size and was so successful that it was quickly followed by a number of competitive vehicles. A major feature of the 1984 Jeep Cherokee was the all-new unibody frame that gave the vehicle superior rigidity with reduced weight and fuel consumption.

Today, the new generation Jeep Cherokee completely rethinks the category invented by Jeep 30 years ago and features a new sleek and athletic design, the first nine-speed automatic transmission in the mid-size SUV segment, enhanced on-road driving dynamics and handling, superior Jeep 4x4 capability, premium interior craftsmanship, innovative technology, new levels of efficiency, entertainment and comfort and 'five-star' safety and security features that recently allowed the vehicle to earn the designation of 'safest 2013 SUV' in its category from Euro NCAP.

Engineered to excel on any and all terrains, the new Jeep Cherokee expresses the synthesis between stylistic innovation and family tradition, legendary 4x4 capability and technology: features that are fully embodied in the top of the range Limited model and in its alter ego, the 'off-road' specialist Trailhawk.

With a sleek and athletic exterior the new Jeep Cherokee remains true to the heritage of the brand while moving forward into the next era with a shape that is as efficient as the vehicle and maintains the DNA that makes it a true Jeep. The interior of the new Jeep Cherokee delivers craftsmanship, easy-to-operate technological contents and thoughtful, clever features.

Available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, the new generation Jeep Cherokee is engineered to ensure benchmark on and off-road capabilities under all driving conditions. The new Jeep mid-size SUV offers a choice of three innovative four wheel drive systems: Jeep® Active Drive I, Jeep® Active Drive II and Jeep® Active Drive Lock. Jeep® Active Drive I features a fully automatic, single power transfer unit (PTU) and delivers seamless operation in and out of four-wheel drive at any speed. Jeep® Active Drive II includes a two-speed PTU with torque management and low range. Jeep® Active Drive Lock is available on petrol models only and includes all the features of Jeep Active Drive II adding a locking rear differential for superior low-speed power delivery.

This vehicle is also the first mid-size SUV to feature rear axle disconnect, resulting in reduced friction and energy loss when 4x4 capability isn't needed and ensuring improved fuel efficiency. The rear-axle disconnect, seamlessly switches between two-and four-wheel drive for full-time torque management without requiring input from the driver.

The new Jeep Cherokee lineup will be introduced in Jeep dealerships throughout Europe starting in April, in the Longitude, Limited and Trailhawk trim levels. The engine range comprises the new 2.0-litre Multijet II turbo diesel and the 3.2-litre V-6 Pentastar petrol engine. The efficient turbo diesel is available in two versions offering customers a choice of 170 or 140 horsepower outputs, both generating 350 Nm of torque. The 170 horsepower version of the 2.0-litre engine is coupled with the all-new nine-speed automatic gearbox, while the 140 horsepower version of this engine is matched to a six-speed manual transmission. Both versions of the 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine incorporate 'Stop/Start' technology that improves fuel efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions. The 3.2-litre V6 Pentastar petrol engine delivering 272 horsepower and 315 Nm of torque that completes the engine offering in Europe is paired to the new nine-speed automatic transmission.

In Russia and the Middle East, a Sports trim level is also available in the new Cherokee range and a 2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir L4 is offered in combination with the new nine-speed automatic gearbox.

Design

New, sleek and athletic exterior

The new Jeep Cherokee boasts a cutting-edge, revolutionary design and features world-class craftsmanship and exclusive technological contents. Sleek and athletic exterior lines project the Jeep design into the future and convey efficiency and aerodynamics without compromising the brand's stylistic heritage.

Jeep designers were inspired to create a vehicle that remains true to the brand while moving it into the next era with a shape that is as efficient as the vehicle and retains the DNA that makes it a Jeep. Fluid, sleek exterior lines highlight the efficient, wind-splitting upper body of the Cherokee. The rugged, protective lower body conveys the legendary capability that is characteristic of every Jeep.

The new Jeep Cherokee has a powerful stance, an aggressive wheel-to-body proportion and a commanding road presence. The approach and departure angles contribute to the best-in-class capability.

The new generation Jeep Cherokee was designed with integrated aerodynamic features to reduce drag and assist in improving fuel economy. Aerodynamically designed features include a fully integrated, aerodynamic tuned body, an extensive rear spoiler, integrated underbelly pans, integrated sill aero spats, tail lamp design meant to kick air off the side of the body and lightweight aluminum wheels that were scrutinized for aero efficiency.

A key element in the front of the new Jeep Cherokee is the 'waterfall' hood with the iconic peaked, seven-slotted grille which includes a crisp, horizontal snap - a feature found in many classic Jeep vehicles. The hood is clearly defined and separated from the front fenders in a modern interpretation of the brand's design heritage. Advanced LED lighting technology is used throughout the new Jeep Cherokee. Daytime running lamps (DRL) and available Bi-Xenon headlights (standard on Limited in selected markets only), enhance the unique proportions of the front.

The sides feature the signature Jeep trapezoidal wheel arches. The rear is highlighted by the contemporary full LED tail lamps, which are an integral part of the rear backlight graphic, making the vehicle look stronger yet harmonious. This shape is the connection between the upper and lower rear as an interlocking graphic statement that brings a unique presence specific to this new Cherokee. The rear fascia also carries Jeep Cherokee-specific rear fog lamps and reflex.

The new Cherokee rides on 17-inch (Longitude and Trailhawk) or 18-inch tires (Limited) providing drivers with confident traction in all road conditions.

To those customers looking for the pleasure of enjoying the open-air driving experience that only Jeep can ensure, the new Cherokee offers the new CommandView dual-pane power sunroof, available as an option on all trim levels. CommandView extends from the windshield to the rear of the vehicle allowing for perfect views both on- and off-road.

All-new, premium interior

The Jeep brand's recent Grand Cherokee introduction set the foundation for a new direction in interiors that the new Cherokee builds upon. The interior is modern, welcoming and comfortable. It features a sophisticated, refined design, hand-sculpted forms, signature Jeep styling cues, high-quality materials, precision craftsmanship and attention to detail. The cabin is designed to offer the driver ultimate comfort with useful, easy-to-operate technology and clever storage.

Also in the development of the Cherokee's all-new interior, Jeep designers took inspiration from the brand's heritage. The signature trapezoidal plan view feature line is classic Jeep, reminiscent of the trapezoidal wheel arches on the exterior. The center stack bezel is inspired by the outline of the front grille of the 1940s Willys Jeep and continues the design language of its larger sibling, the Grand Cherokee.

Premium materials abound wherever the customer touches the vehicle - the door uppers, the center armrest and the upper instrument panel. Throughout the cabin, customers will find interior trim that is soft to the touch and pleasing to the eye. A vinyl-wrapped, stitched instrument panel brow is standard on all models and the stitching carries over to the center console armrest and front door armrests.

The new Jeep Cherokee is available with three interior trim choices inspired from exotic locations and landscapes around the world, such as Morocco, Grand Canyon and the Italian Mount Vesuvio.

The country of Morocco at night was the inspiration for the black interiors. When the sun sets in Morocco the light reflects the shapes and brings them to the light. There is high contrast with golden tones. Morocco interior is black with warm Moroccan Sun accent stitching, providing a contrast to the black. Morocco is available in cloth, Nappa leather or a combination of the two, and is a choice on all trim levels of the Cherokee.

The Jeep brown interior was inspired by the Grand Canyon: based on the hues in the rocks of the Grand Canyon, the warm, rich brown features golden-tone accent stitching. Grand Canyon is a Nappa leather interior and is available on Cherokee Trailhawk models.

An image of Mount Vesuvius in Italy inspired the Jeep-exclusive dark brown and Indigo Blue leather interior, called Vesuvio. The dark brown and dark blue colors are highlighted with white accent stitching and silver trim. Vesuvio is available as a Nappa leather interior on Cherokee Limited.

Seats are ergonomically designed to support the contour of the body, and are available with a 'memory' adjustable mechanism and heated/ventilated features for the front seats. They are trimmed with premium cloth (Longitude), quality Nappa leather (Limited and Trailhawk) or a combination of cloth and Nappa leather (Trailhawk). The 60/40 split second-row seats adjust fore and aft for increased passenger comfort and cargo flexibility.

Exclusive features such as the available heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel and Wireless Charging Pad, complete the interior of the new Jeep Cherokee and will delight drivers and passengers alike.

Functionality is a main characteristic of the new Jeep Cherokee interior, where plenty of thoughtful, clever storage features can be found. A refined, covered, top bin is located above the center stack on top of the instrument panel for secured storage of small items. The front-passenger seat folds flat and offers hidden, in-seat storage by flipping up the passenger seat cushion.

Engineering

4x4 systems and 'Go anywhere' Jeep capability

The new Jeep Cherokee takes the legendary Jeep 4x4 capability to the next level and offers the advantages of an all-weather, all-terrain vehicle. The new generation of the Jeep mid-size SUV provides a choice of three innovative 4x4 systems for best-in-class 4x4 capability in all driving conditions: the single-speed, fully automatic Jeep® Active Drive I, the two-speed Jeep® Active Drive II featuring torque management and low range and the Jeep® Active Drive Lock including all features of the Jeep active Drive II and adding a locking rear differential and Selec-Speed Control (on Trailhawk models only).

The new Jeep Cherokee is also the first mid-size SUV to feature rear-axle disconnect, resulting in reduced energy loss when 4x4 capability isn't needed and improving fuel efficiency. The rear-axle disconnect seamlessly switches between two- and four-wheel drive for full-time torque management without requiring input from the driver.

Jeep Active Drive I

Available on the Cherokee Sport, Longitude and Limited models, Jeep Active Drive I features a single power transfer unit (PTU) which is fully automatic and delivers seamless operation in and out of four-wheel drive at any speed. The system does not require any driver intervention or feedback, delivers yaw correction during dynamic events and improves both understeer and oversteer conditions. Jeep Active Drive I offers balanced torque distribution with brake traction control. The four-wheel-drive performance results from a fully variable wet clutch housed in the rear drive module. The clutch supplies the proper amount of torque for any driving condition, including slippery conditions, aggressive starts and dynamic driving. Sophisticated algorithms enable the system to contribute to the driving dynamics while interacting with the electronic stability control (ESC) system when approaching the traction limits of the road surface.

Jeep Active Drive II

Available on the Cherokee Limited model, Jeep Active Drive II includes a two-speed PTU with torque management and low range. 4-Low mode locks the front and rear drive shafts for low speed power or towing. Low range provides a 2.92:1 gear reduction. The gear reduction allows for enhanced climbing ability as well as outstanding crawl ratios for severe off-road conditions. Jeep Active Drive II works in conjunction with the Selec-Terrain system to aggressively modify the torque distribution while monitoring the engine transmission and ESC system, and providing power to the wheels that will deliver the most traction. Jeep Active Drive II includes Hill-descent Control.

Jeep Active Drive Lock

Standard on all Trailhawk models only, Jeep Active Drive Lock includes all the features of Jeep Active Drive II and adds a locking rear differential for superior low-speed power for rock crawling or severe off-road conditions.

In the 4-Low mode, the system locks the front and rear drive shafts to ensure more power at low speeds and greater towing capability. Low range provides a 2.92:1 gear reduction that offers outstanding crawl ratios for extreme off-road driving.

The locking rear differential is selectable in any low-range terrain mode, but will lock automatically when in certain Selec-Terrain modes such as "Rock," to maximize tractive effort, which the tire patch can support.

Jeep Active Drive Lock includes the exclusive Selec-Speed Control system featuring both Hill-ascent and Hill-descent Control.

Selec-Terrain

All-new Cherokee's 4x4 systems feature the Jeep brand's renowned Selec-Terrain traction control system with four modes (five for the Trailhawk model, which adds Rock mode to Auto, Snow, Sport and Sand/Mud). Selec-Terrain allows the driver, to choose and select, through the Selec-Terrain dial, the on- and off-road setting best suited for optimum performance on any particular surface and is designed to optimize the four-wheel-drive systems for unsurpassed control and capability. Selec-Terrain electronically coordinates and optimizes up to 12 systems, including: drivetrain control module, electronic brake controller, ESC, transmission controller, powertrain controller and - on Trailhawk models only - Selec-Speed Control (with Hill-ascent and Hill-descent Control).

• Available in 4-Low only
• Allows for a front/rear torque split of up to 100 percent rear

In addition, the ESC system will change mode in coordination with the Selec-Terrain mode chosen:

• ESC remains full on with Auto and Snow modes
• ESC is off when in 4-Low
• ESC is in Partial mode for Sport, and Sand/Mud modes. Partial mode means aid from traction control and stability control are reduced, but anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic roll mitigation remain fully enabled.

In 4-Low, the Selec-Terrain system shifts front and rear axles to a 2.92:1 gear set for increased torque and control off-road. When in neutral, Jeep Cherokee models equipped with Jeep Active Drive II and Jeep Active Drive Lock disconnect the driveline for flat towing behind another vehicle.

Selec-Speed Control

The new Jeep Cherokee also offers an exclusive capability feature called Selec-Speed Control. Selec-Speed Control features both Hill-descent Control and Hill-ascent Control, allowing the Cherokee to climb and descend steep grades with minimal driver input. The ESC system controls engine torque and brake pressure to maintain target speed while driving off-road on uphill, level and downhill surfaces and over obstacles. The feature enables the driver to focus on steering while navigating technical off-road terrain. Available in 4-Low and exclusive to Trailhawk models, Selec-Speed Control is activated by a dedicated button on the Selec-Terrain switch. The driver-selectable target speed, ranging from 1.6 km/h to 8.5 km/h, can be adjusted by using the +/- shifter input.

Powertrain

Segment-first nine-speed transmission

The new Jeep Cherokee is the first mid-size SUV to feature a standard nine-speed automatic transmission. The new gearbox is equipped on the 170 horsepower 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine and on the petrol models of the new Cherokee range.

New nine-speed automatic gearbox ensures exceptionally smooth shifts, an extremely wide gear ratio range for optimized acceleration, reduced emissions and improved fuel efficiency.

The new transmission's gear ratios afford the right response at the right time, from aggressive launches to smooth power delivery at highway speeds, a product of smaller ratio steps between the gears. The ratios are: 1st - 4.70, 2nd - 2.84, 3rd - 1.91, 4th - 1.38, 5th - 1.00, 6th - 0.81, 7th - 0.70, 8th - 0.58, 9th - 0.48

The Jeep Cherokee's all-new nine-speed transmission provides a more responsive driving experience with quicker acceleration and smoother shifting. The wide ratio spread delivers an aggressive first gear ratio of 4.70 for low-end performance and small gear ratio steps which provide smooth transitions for gear-to-gear while offering a unique set of four overdrive ratios to benefit highway fuel economy and reduce overall noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels.

Flexible enough to accommodate the Jeep Cherokee engine's full range of torques, the all-new gearbox delivers not only the durability customers expect but a ride quality near luxury car levels complements of the precise shift schedules.

This new, fully electronic nine-speed automatic gearbox features on-the-fly shift map changing, with manual shifting capability via Electronic Range Select. More than 40 individual shift maps for specific conditions optimize shift quality and shift points, maximizing fuel economy, performance and drivability. To determine the appropriate shift mode, the sophisticated software takes into account variables, including engine torque gradients, kick-down events, longitudinal and lateral acceleration and grade changes. For improved driving comfort and refinement, additional parameters integrated into the transmission control strategy include: temperature, speed and electronic stability control. The result is automatic shifting, ideally attuned to the performance requirements of almost any driving demand.

The automatic transmission increases vehicle fuel economy through the ratio spread and mechanical efficiency of operating at lower engine revolutions per minute (rpm) in both city and highway environments. The addition of more gear ratios also helps reduce the perceived speed changes normally associated with upshifting and downshifting.

Gear changes are nearly imperceptible due to the evenly spaced gear steps between each gear ratio. Internally, the transmission has four gear sets and six shift elements - multi-disc clutches, dog clutches and brakes. Only three shift elements are open at any time. With fewer open shift elements, drag losses due to multiple parts rotating relative to one another are reduced, improving fuel efficiency.

Engine range

In Europe, the new Jeep Cherokee is powered by the new, efficient 2.0-litre turbo, direct-injection I-4 common rail diesel engine fitted with Multijet II technology and paired to the all-new nine-speed automatic gearbox and the six-speed manual transmission. The new Jeep Cherokee is also available with two petrol engine options: the 3.2-litre V-6 Pentastar offered in the lineup sold in Europe and the 2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir L4 engine available only in the Cherokee lineup sold in Russia and the Middle East. Both petrol engines are paired to the new nine-speed automatic gearbox.

2.0-litre Turbo diesel Multijet II with Stop/Start technology

The new, efficient 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine equipped on the new Jeep Cherokee features second generation, Multijet technology developed and patented by Fiat Powertrain. The 2.0-litre turbo diesel is a four valves per cylinder and double overhead camshaft (DOHC) belt driven engine. Fitted with 1600-bar common-rail fuel injection system, solenoid fuel injectors and variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), the new 2.0-litre turbo diesel produces a maximum of 170 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and torque of 350 Nm at 1,750 rpm in combination with the new nine-speed automatic transmission. Towing capacity of 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine with 9-speed automatic transmission reaches 2,475 kg with Jeep Active Drive I.

The 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine is also offered as a low-output version, producing 140 horsepower at 3,750 rpm and 350 Nm of torque across 1,500 rpm. The low output engine is combined with a state-of-the-art manual six-speed gearbox. With the 140 horsepower 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine with manual gearbox, CO2 emissions are as low as 139 g/km on 4x2 models.

Fuel economy for the 2.0-litre diesel engine with 9-speed automatic gearbox and Jeep Active Drive I is 5.8 l/100 km in the combined cycle, with a 26 percent improvement in comparison to the previous model. CO2 emissions are now at 154 g/km, with a 26 percent overall reduction allowing the new Cherokee to be one the cleanest vehicles in its category.

Highlights and features incorporated into the new 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine with second-generation Multijet system are:

• Aluminum cylinder head with two camshafts (double overhead camshaft - DOHC), operating 4 valves per cylinder (two intake and two exhaust) through roller cam followers;
• Common Rail fuel system delivering up to 1,600 bar fuel pressure, with solenoid fuel injectors capable of up to eight injection events per combustion cycle with post injection and combustion rate shaping for Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) control;
• Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) for improved acceleration performance;
• Cooled EGR system with a cooler bypass system for lower emissions and improved fuel efficiency;
• A fully balanced, forged crankshaft running in cross-bolted main bearing caps to minimize deflection and vibration;
• Cast iron cylinder block for high durability and low cost construction;
• Balance Shaft Unit (BSU) to reduce engine vibration into the vehicle.

The Multijet common rail injection system represents the most technologically advanced solution for independently controlling high injection pressures (1,600 bar) of the engine rotation speed and quantity of fuel injected. The engine management, capable of introducing small quantities of fuel with the main injection (the amount of fuel injected to provide the performance requested by the driver) guarantees particularly smooth engine operation in all situations.

The 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine also incorporates "Stop/Start" technology that improves fuel efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions. The new Jeep Cherokee is the second model in the Jeep lineup to feature the application of this fuel-saving system. Drivers can deactivate the technology via a button on the dashboard and an icon displays in the instrument panel to indicate the Stop/Start status.

In Europe, the 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine with Stop/Start technology is available on the Longitude and Limited trim levels.

The 3.2-litre Pentastar

The new 3.2-litre Pentastar V-6 is the first derivative of the renowned 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6, and benefits from the same innovations that earned its larger displacement predecessor industry - wide praise for its efficiency, power and refinement. This contributes to a pleasurable driving experience with reduced noise, vibrations and harshness (NVH) and an outstanding balance of higher specific power output (85 horsepower per litre) while delivering fuel economy improvements of 30-percent versus the outgoing V6 engine. The 3.2-litre V6 Pentastar engine produces 272 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, 315 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm and boasts towing capacity of 2,200 kg. The 3.2-litre V-6 Pentastar engine is available on the Limited and Trailhawk models of the Jeep Cherokee range in Europe.

Fuel economy ratings of the 3.2-litre V6 Pentastar petrol engine correspond to 10.0 l/100 km on the combined cycle, while CO2 is 232 g/km.

Individual exhaust-manifold runners are integrated into the aluminum cylinder-head casting, a key Pentastar-family differentiator. This feature not only reduces weight and produces packaging benefits but it also increases manufacturing efficiency.

The 24-valve engine's 10.7:1 compression ratio aids in lowering fuel consumption and improves performance while the variable-displacement oil pump further reduces parasitic losses to maximize fuel economy. The pump is programmed to operate as needed, staying in low pressure mode at rpms below 3,500, and then bumping up pressure as demand follows engine speed.

The new 3.2-litre Pentastar V-6 carries over all the design features that make smooth power delivery one of the most captivating traits of the 3.6-litre engine.

A 60-degree, deep-skirt, die-cast-aluminum cylinder block with six-bolt main caps afford optimal stiffness for mitigation of NVH. Also contributing to NVH reduction are:

• a structural windage tray to complement block stiffness
• a structural aluminum oil pan
• direct-mounted alternator and A/C compressor that increases stiffness
• select-fit pistons with polymer-graphite-coated piston skirts
• "silent chain" timing drive with inverted teeth for minimal sprocket contact
• contoured composite cylinder-head covers
• glass-reinforced nylon composite intake manifold

Further enhancing the driving experience is the specially designed intake manifold, which also features low-rumble tuning.

The 2.4-litre Tigershark

Efficiency and refinement are hallmarks of the 16-valve, 2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir L4, fitted on the new Jeep Cherokee (exclusively in Russia and the Middle East). The 2.4-litre engine features MultiAir technology and boasts the second-generation 'MultiAir2' system that further enhances combustion control, improves efficiency and reduces exhaust emissions. The 2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir L4 produces 177 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 229 Nm of torque at 3,900 rpm.

Fuel economy for the 2.4-litre Tigershark engine with 9-speed automatic transmission is 8.8 l/100 km on 4x4 models and 8.3 l/100 km on 4x2 in the combined cycle.

The acclaimed electro-hydraulic fully variable valve-lift system uses a column of oil in place of the traditional mechanical link between the camshaft and intake valves. As a result, it delivers precise control of the intake-valve events - beginning and end - delivering reductions in engine-pumping losses and increases in volumetric efficiency.

Refinement was a key consideration in the design of every Tigershark feature, from its fully isolated aluminum head cover with integrated oil-separation system, to its high-pressure, die-cast aluminum block.

Sandwiched between the block and the steel oil pan is a lightweight, lost-foam aluminum ladder frame with integral oil filter and oil cooler adapter. This lends additional structural rigidity. The oil pan itself benefits from refinement. Acoustic material is sandwiched between its outer and inner stampings.

Friction mitigation also contributes to reduced NVH, with the added benefit of enhancing durability. The Tigershark's polymer-coated piston skirts accommodate tighter piston-to-bore tolerances. Cast-aluminum pistons with a compression ratio of 10:1 are designed specifically for the engine and MultiAir system. Each bore is fitted with individual piston oil-squirters in the block that spray oil on the bottom of the pistons and bore walls to maintain cylinder-wall and piston temperatures. This feature also helps prevent hot spots that could lead to knock and improve performance and fuel economy.

Fitted to the forged-steel crankshaft are new powder-forged-steel connecting rods that feature a full-floating piston pin with diamond-like carbon coating. This further reduces friction and improves fuel efficiency.

Vibration is minimized with the use of a balance shaft module. And to maintain adequate oiling at all engine speeds, the 2.4-litre Tigershark features a two-stage oil-pressure relief system that reduces engine-oil pumping loads at low engine speeds for better fuel efficiency.

Other key features of the 2.4-litre I-4 include:

• 360-degree engine-to-transmission attachment
• Coil-on-plug ignition with dual precious-metal spark plugs
• Front-end accessory drive with automatic tensioning single-belt drive

Frame, suspension and steering

World-class architecture

The Compact U.S. Wide (CUS-wide) platform is the basis for the underpinnings of the new Jeep Cherokee. This platform's proven modular architecture means many models can be built using the same basic underpinnings. The result is better quality and reliability as well as lower costs, less development time and tooling. The architecture Cherokee is built on is comprised of common, modular and interchangeable components and allows for modularity of the wheelbase, front track, rear track, front overhang, length and width across vehicle lines.

The new Jeep Cherokee's body structure has a high-strength steel content of roughly 65 percent. Hot stamped-, high-strength- and ultra-high-strength steel are used to construct a strong, lightweight, solid vehicle architecture.

New on-road performance

The new Jeep Cherokee's premium on-road manners are a result of a number of efforts by Jeep engineers. The front independent suspension with MacPherson struts provides 17 cm of travel while the rear independent multi-link suspension provides up to 19.8 cm of travel for better articulation. The isolated rear cradle, aluminum front cross member and superior torsional rigidity deliver customers a quieter and smoother ride with improved handling characteristics.

The electronic power steering system (EPS) improves fuel efficiency and contributes to the Cherokee's nimbleness with a turn circle radius of approximately 11 meters in 4x2 models, 11.6 meters in 4x4 models and 12 meters for the Trailhawk trim level, the most capable off-road model in the new Cherokee lineup.

With EPS all of the power assist is provided via an electric motor system rather than a traditional hydraulic system. Because the system is fully electronic, the driver experiences optimal steering effort at all vehicle speeds, and there is less noise and better fuel efficiency since there is no parasitic loss from a power steering pump.

The boost, or assist, is variable and speed sensitive, responding to sensors monitoring steering torque, steering wheel speed and angle and vehicle speed. The steering system is fully integrated with the vehicle's ESC system and helps to compensate in split-traction, torque steer and pull-drift (crowned road) situations.

Safety

'Five-star' and 'best in class' achiever in its category

Safety and security were at the forefront in the development of the new Jeep Cherokee. This allowed the new generation of the Jeep mid-size SUV to earn the prestigious Euro NCAP five-star rating last year with an overall score of 83/100. This major accolade confirms the Jeep brand's special attention in matters relating to the protection of passengers and road users and underlines that the new generation Cherokee immediately satisfies all international safety standards.

Recently, the new Jeep Cherokee also earned the 'best in class' designation from Euro NCAP in the Small Off-road 4X4 category for the year 2013. This recognition is given from Euro NCAP to the models tested during the year that have achieved the highest scores in their respective class. The best vehicle in the Small Off-road 4X4 class, recommended by Euro NCAP for its outstanding safety performance is the new generation of the Jeep mid-size Sport Utility Vehicle.

In 2013, a total of 33 cars were tested in seven different categories. The top achievers gained the highest overall scores, calculated from the results achieved in adult, child, pedestrian protection and safety assist tests.

The first safety element of the new Jeep Cherokee is represented by the new "Compact U.S. Wide (CUS-wide)" architecture, comprising a solid vehicle structure built with 65 percent high-strength steel. Jeep engineers then added more than 70 active and passive safety and security features, including an array of innovative systems.

Standard safety features on the new Jeep Cherokee consist of seven standard airbags (front seats multistage air bags, side bags, window bags, driver side knee air bag), ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with rollover mitigation (ERM) and ABS with off-road calibration. To ensure maximum protection, the complete offering of safety features available or optional on the new Jeep Cherokee includes new systems, such as the innovative Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation, the ParkSense Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist, the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go, the Lanesense Lane Departure Warning, the Blind Spot Monitoring and the Rear Cross Path Detection.

One of the most innovative systems fitted on the new Jeep Cherokee is the Forward Collision Warning with Crash mitigation, which detects any traffic-gap changes and in the case of a rapidly approaching obstacle in front of the vehicle activates the brakes and alerts the driver in order to have him perform the necessary corrective action.

The ParkSense Parallel/Perpendicular Park Assist feature in the new Jeep Cherokee uses ultrasonic parking sensors on the bumper to find and guide the customer into an available parking space when the driver initiates parking maneuvers. The parking guidance system controls the steering angle automatically; the driver controls the gear position, brake, and accelerator. Parallel parking is possible on either side of the car; during perpendicular parking, the vehicle is backed into the space.

The Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go (ACC), when activated, decreases the vehicle's pre-set cruise-control speed when closing in on another vehicle in the same lane, or when another vehicle pulls into the same lane. ACC will accelerate to the pre-set speed when the vehicle in front speeds up or moves into another lane. The system will also maintain a driver adjustable distance between the vehicle and the one in front of it and is particularly useful when driving in adverse meteorological conditions or in situations of reduced visibility.

The Lanesense Lane Departure Warning system uses a camera-based vision sensor to establish the Jeep Cherokee's position on the road. If an unintentional lane drift occurs, determined by trajectory change and the absence of turn-signal activation, the system will deliver a visual warning and a haptic warning - the subtle introduction of torque from the electric power steering (EPS) system. If the driver unintentionally drifts too far, the system provides a secondary visual warning.

The Blind Spot Monitoring uses dual ultra-wideband radar sensors to aid the driver when changing lanes or if being passed by or passing unseen vehicles. The system notifies the driver of vehicle(s) in their blind spot via illuminated icons on the side-view mirror and with a driver-selected audible chime.

Lastly, the Rear Cross Path (RCP) detection assists the drivers in parking lot situations. This system warns drivers backing out of parking spaces of traffic moving toward their vehicle. It activates any time the vehicle is in Reverse. The driver is notified of vehicle(s) crossing behind the vehicle via illuminated icons on the side-view mirror and with a driver-selected audible chime.

Another prestigious safety recognition was earned last year in the U.S., where the new Jeep Cherokee received the highest-possible score in each of four Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) tests to determine a Top Safety Pick.

Top Safety Pick testing simulates a side impact with a large SUV or pickup truck, front moderate overlap impact, roof-crush consistent with a rollover, and a rear collision capable of inducing whiplash. In each of these, the new Jeep Cherokee recorded the highest-possible rating of "good" thanks to its complete offering of safety and security features, many of which - such as the Cherokee's 65-percent content-ratio of advanced-technology steel and seven standard air bags - help protect in the event of collision.

Connectivity & infotainment

Infotainment systems

The new Jeep Cherokee features thoughtful, state-of-the-art, high-tech features and amenities that are intuitive, easy-to-use and provide utmost on-board comfort and infotainment.

New Wireless Charging Pad

An available Wireless Charging Pad is concealed in the upper tray of the central armrest and it enables wireless charging of any smartphone that is QI wireless charging capable.

To charge a device customers can simply place it where a mechanical docking station affords secure storage.

New 7-inch full-color reconfigurable instrument cluster display

Filling the gauge cluster in front of the driver is the world-class thin-film transistor (TFT) 7-inch full-color, premium multiview display featuring a reconfigurable function that enables the drivers to enjoy a customized user experience and receive information and vehicle feedback in the format they prefer, while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

The easy-to-use instrument cluster displays the basic information a driver needs at his or her fingertips but also allows the driver to add as much or as little information they desire. The driver can select from a multitude of information that can be displayed in the center of the gauge cluster including turn-by-turn navigation, speed, real-time fuel economy, safety warnings, available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go, audio information and Jeep-specific features including Selec-Terrain. The system is intuitive and can be arranged for a variety of views. Additionally, the four corners of the display can be customized to show information at a glance, including current fuel economy, outside temperature, time and compass direction.

Once a main screen is chosen, it becomes the default setting, remembering the user's selection upon restarting the Cherokee. Vehicle concerns are instantly reported to the driver via pop-up warning messages on the display. Text warning messages are automatically stored so a driver can review the message at their convenience.

The new Jeep Cherokee also offers the advanced UConnect system, featuring an 8.4-inch touchscreen multimedia command center. This sophisticated system, standard on Limited and Trailhawk models, clearly shows all information necessary for driving and on-board comfort.

In order to grant maximum safety and ease of use, the Uconnect allows the driver to adjust the audio system, climate controls, heated/ventilated seats and more from either the touchscreen, the controls located on the center stack below the touchscreen, or with voice activated commands.

The user-friendly 8.4-inch color Uconnect touchscreen including navigation is an available option on all trim levels.

Besides the advanced 8.4-inch touchscreen of the UConnect system, Jeep Cherokee also features the standard on the Longitude 5-inch touchscreen multimedia command center that is intuitive and easy-to-use, and is located in the center stack.

In addition, and in order to grant maximum safety and ease of use, the new Cherokee features the newly designed leather-wrapped three-spoke Jeep steering wheel with audio, voice and speed controls. This feature allows the drivers to keep their hands on the steering wheel and interact with the instruments easily, adding a new level of technical sophistication.

To enhance the driving experience to the maximum level of pleasure and comfort, a premium Alpine, 506-watt sound system featuring nine speakers and a subwoofer, is also available.

UConnect 8.4 system

The Uconnect 8.4 is designed to facilitate a fully integrated infotainment experience within one solution, meaning all feature components including GPS, voice recognition functionality and additional entertainment features are built into a single hardware platform instead of being delivered as separate components.

HARMAN, the premium global audio and infotainment group, developed the Uconnect infotainment system for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles vehicles. The Uconnect infotainment system features faster response times, increased voice recognition capabilities and more realistic navigation than systems previously on board.

From the driver's seat, everything the driver sees, touches - and even speaks to using voice commands - is enhanced to increase function, connectivity and responsiveness. Not only does it work better, it looks better packaged in more premium materials and elegant graphics.

With a spacious 8.4-inch touchscreen, the new platform offers more screen real estate for drivers to access the main infotainment features, including radio, mobile phone, mediaplayer, I-Pod or smartphone and navigation. The platform delivers faster response times and sharper navigation and also offers drivers more extensive voice recognition capabilities - ensuring features can be accessed by voice control without compromising safety. A 3D-terrain model, 3D-cities and 3D-landmarks make navigation more realistic than ever. Entering destinations is a "one-shot" action, with the city, street and building number all in one natural sequence. The system also integrates travel and traffic information via TMC (traffic message channel). Additionally, the new UConnect 8.4 features as a standard a DAB tuner, which allows to get CD-quality radio and complementary information about the program broadcasted, including pictures. New UConnect with 8.4" touchscreen and satellite navigation is an available as an option on all trim levels.

Jeep Cherokee & Mopar

The new Jeep Cherokee is a further expression of the intense and fruitful collaboration that links the Jeep brand to Mopar®, the reference brand for Services, Customer Care, Genuine Parts and Accessories for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brands. There are more than 100 exclusive Mopar accessories dedicated to the new Jeep Cherokee that match it perfectly, while complying totally with its technical, aesthetic and mechanical characteristics. Moreover, Mopar products are unique because they are developed hand-in-hand with the same engineering teams who design the vehicle: this direct link is something that other aftermarket companies are not in a position to provide.

Standing out are the accessories linked to the innovative Cargo Management System, that makes the most of the cargo space in the new Jeep Cherokee. Mopar offers a range of modular accessories that fit perfectly with the Jeep Cargo Management (JCM) mounted on the left side of the rear cargo area.

More in details, the Cargo Management System accessory line includes items such as the off road Accessory kit for Trailhawk models containing a tow rope, gloves, electric torch and a fabric bag with logo; the Collapsible cooler, a thermal container designed for keeping drinks and food cool or warm; the black folding Reversible Cargo Mat for the load compartment that is useful to protect the interior of the Cherokee, to keep it tidy and, if removed, provides for a picnic rug; and lastly, the Storage Locker, a black vertical load divider bearing Jeep logo: this item can be used for hanging clothes, stowing sports equipment and keeping the car's interior tidy through two storage compartments, a removable collapsible container and side belts.

Among the exclusive customizations available on the new Cherokee, the two 17-inch and 18-inch alloy wheels options add to the sporty and elegant look of the vehicle and were designed to meet the high resistance standards of Jeep models. Alongside the two wheel rim options offered by Mopar, the new Cherokee also features a Black Hood Decal: this special hood decal was designed, tested and created specifically for the new generation of the Jeep mid-size SUV.

Mopar accessories for the new Cherokee also include Black Steel Rock Rails and roof bars. Both contribute to convey to the vehicle a more off-road-capable appearance and suggest the ability of mastering the toughest routes with utmost safety: the first ensure maximum protection on extreme off-road tracks and the second increase the load capacity allowing the transport of outdoor equipment, like bike and ski/board racks.

FGA Capital for the new Jeep Cherokee

Freedom and innovation are some of the key drivers supporting the launch of the new Cherokee, the mid-size SUV of the Jeep brand: a completely new car, conceived to become the superlative expression of the core values of Jeep and to provide a modern interpretation of the claim "Go anywhere, do anything".

Jeep Cherokee's unique features are ideal both for providing new driving experiences and for welcoming on board those customers who have never chosen Jeep before: designed to excel on any terrain, it expresses the synthesis between stylistic innovation and tradition. The ultimate choice for those looking for style and substance both on and off-road.

The possibility of driving the new Jeep Cherokee in complete freedom was also the starting point for FGA Capital to develop diverse financing options to meet the varied needs of customers in all the markets where the company operates and to make the dream of living out new adventures and driving experiences on board the new Cherokee accessible.

To support the launch of the new model, FGA Capital has developed financing offers in line with the needs of Cherokee customers: whether it's couples or new kinds of "extended" family, its potential customers are very dynamic and therefore able to juggle work and family, with a high socioeconomic level thanks to their jobs.

The Captive Finance company has developed three concepts:

JEEP FREE: an innovative financing option, dedicated to private customers who prefer paying in cash with the tried-and-tested no-interest scheme. Customers pay only half of the promotional price upon purchase and, with no intervening payments, after two years can choose whether to keep, exchange or return their Cherokee. The concrete benefits for the customer are making use of financing without any unexpected costs and without any intervening monthly payment.

JEEP FREEDOM: a particularly attractive solution for those who prefer a limited initial expense, a reasonable monthly instalment with good interest rates; and when the contract ends, the freedom to choose one of three options: keep, exchange or return the Cherokee.

And lastly, JEEP VALUE: with a single concept, a programme that can meet the needs of various customers and including:

• leasing for entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals who prefer not to own the car but to pay for the actual use, without sacrificing the complete range of services included for the entire duration of the contract. With a monthly rate that includes the Extended Warranty, customers are free to drive the Cherokee as well as to enjoy the tax benefits;
• long-term rentals for companies.

These concepts are intended for various markets and are characterised, in their details, by extreme flexibility in order to meet the specific requirements of customers in the various markets.

Manufacturing

Toledo, Ohio, has been the proud "home of Jeep" for more than 70 years. The first Jeep vehicles were built in the former Parkway Plant until the new Toledo North facility began assembling the Jeep Cherokee in 2001. With the launch of the all-new Jeep Cherokee, a new chapter in the decades-old story of Jeep and Toledo is being written at the Toledo Assembly Complex.

That chapter began in November 2011 when Chrysler Group announced that the Company would invest $500 million in the Toledo Assembly Complex and add 1,100 jobs on a second shift for the production of the next-generation Jeep SUV.

Because the all-new Jeep Cherokee differs significantly from its predecessor, the plant had to make a number of changes in the build process to accommodate the new vehicle architecture. The most visible change was the addition of a 252,000 square-foot building expansion to the existing body shop.

The dimensional differences of the new vehicle also necessitated changes to the assembly line. To ensure that the new Jeep Cherokee launched with the best possible quality, the Toledo Assembly Complex implemented and aligned all of the best practices and technologies from other Chrysler Group and FIAT facilities.

The Complex also went through a complete transformation as part of World Class Manufacturing (WCM), an extensive and thorough process aiming at reducing waste, increasing productivity, and improving quality and safety in a systematic and organized way. WCM engages the workforce to provide and implement suggestions on how to improve their jobs and their plants.

Production of the new Jeep Cherokee at the Toledo North Assembly Plant began in June 2013.
