With standard all-wheel drive across all trims—including the Laredo, Limited, and Overland—the Cherokee ensures excellent traction and stability in varying weather or road conditions, whether it’s wet pavement on school runs or slippery hill country crossings.

The Cherokee’s drivetrain incorporates an electronically variable continuously variable transmission (eCVT), smoothly managing power delivery to maximize efficiency without sacrificing responsiveness.

Every trim, including the Laredo and Overland models, can be equipped with Trailer-Tow Groups to ensure trail and towing readiness.
Beyond power and capability, the Cherokee incorporates regenerative braking technology, which recaptures energy during deceleration to improve fuel economy further. Complementing this efficiency is the rear-axle disconnect feature, which automatically transitions from full-time 4WD to front-wheel drive when conditions allow, minimizing energy loss and wear on drivetrain components.
