Basics About the 2023 Jeep Cherokee

The Cherokee is the oldest model of Jeep still in production, and for good reason. With a distinctive exterior, fine-tuned performance, and loads of interior space and features, the Cherokee has been a dominant presence in the SUV market for decades, and the 2023 Jeep Cherokee is a strong entry that carries that tradition forward.

Ahead of Jeep’s planned overhaul of its model lineup for 2024, the 2023 model year has only two trim levels for the Cherokee: the Altitude Lux and the Trailhawk, both of which are available exclusively in AWD.

While both trim levels can drive off-road fairly comfortably, the Trailhawk (as its name would suggest) has a few added features to make trails easier to handle. These include an extra inch of ground clearance, a standard traction-management system, and standard all-terrain tires.

What’s New in the 2023 Cherokee

Engine and Towing Performance

The Altitude comes with a powerful 2.4L four-cylinder engine that can put out 180 horsepower, while the Trailhawk uses a 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine rated at 270 horsepower. Importantly, both trim levels are more than capable of towing heavy loads.

The Altitude can tow up to 2,000 pounds: more than enough for a camping weekend with family and friends. The Trailhawk is rated at a maximum capacity of 4,000 pounds when equipped with the optional trailer tow package, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Interior

The 2023 Cherokee enjoys the comfortable seats and spacious interior that Jeep is known for, with 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk. With the rear seats folded down, the Cherokee enjoys nearly 55 cubic feet of storage space. Cargo loops can be used to secure your load and ensure it does not shift around while driving.

The 2023 Cherokee makes use of Jeep’s Uconnect infotainment system, which is very easy to use and makes use of a standard 8.4-inch touchscreen display, with an optional subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot available to stay connected while on the go. The Trailhawk trim comes with a 7-inch digital heads-up display for the driver.

Safety Features

Both trim levels offer parallel and perpendicular parking assist features, as well as blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning systems to keep you safe on the road. A togglable lane keep assist is also standard.

Electronic roll mitigation and stability control also help keep your Cherokee level while driving off-road and can even help reduce the severity of a collision while driving in urban environments.
