The redesigned variant 2023 Jeep Cherokee will bring many improvements next year. As far as we know, the manufacturer will release regular and Grand Cherokee models at the same time. Therefore, it’s still early to talk about details, but many websites already speculate that the new SUV will be refreshed, featuring a completely new interior design.
We also got information that the next Jeep Cherokee will share the same platform with many PSA models. Moreover, considering that, there is a huge possibility that it could use a familiar plug-in hybrid setup under the hood. This system combines a 1.6-liter turbo-four engine with electric motors, offering around 300 horsepower.
2023 Jeep Cherokee Redesign
The 2023 Jeep Cherokee is a mid-size SUV that is modern and attractive. Even if it’s not arguable handsome like the Mazda CX-5, this SUV sports a tidy traditional look. The design language that this SUV use we also saw on the Jeep Compass and Grand Cherokee models. It’s recognized by a seven-slot grille and slim LED headlights that mimic many Jeep models.
However, you can change a little bit its design, going for the Trailhawk model. This variant looks more rugged, featuring beefy tires, blacked-out hood, and red tow hooks.
Cabin Refreshments
Inside, the 2023 Jeep Cherokee will be more modern than before. This model looks very compact, but it offers enough room for all passengers. Across two rows of seats, the Jeep Cherokee can fit five passengers comfortably, offering a pleasant ride. Rear-seat comfort is acceptable, but cargo space behind is only 25.8 cubic feet, which is less than the Honda CR-V’s 39.2 cubic feet. Stepping in, you’ll first notice plenty of soft-touch plastics and many storage spaces.
The base model will continue to use the same infotainment that measures 7-inch Uconnect 4 touchscreen compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. However, on upper trims, you’ll find an upgraded Uconnect 4 setup that is connected to a larger 8-inch screen with Alexa Skills integration.
2023 Jeep Cherokee Powertrain Specs
Under the hood, the new 2023 Jeep Cherokee will probably use some of the existing engines. Many believe that it will share its architecture and mechanics with some of the PSA models. In general, there is a big chance of being powered by a familiar plug-in hybrid setup under the hood. The closest candidate is a 1.6-liter turbo-four engine with electric motors. This unit should be available in two variants, with a model that produces 225 and 300 horsepower.
However, the new model might also keep some of the old engines. We presume the manufacturer will continue to offer a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 that produces 270 horses and 295 lb-ft of torque. Nevertheless, we expect all units to use a 9-speed automatic transmission that’s reasonably very smooth.
Release Date and Price
Buyers can expect the new 2023 Jeep Cherokee to debut in spring next year. Moreover, many believe that the next-gen model will be introduced a few months before official release. As we said, the upcoming SUV will receive some mild changes outside, while on the other hand, the cabin should be much more comfortable.
The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the Cherokee Latitude is $28,000, while the Trailhawk variant costs $37,000. Compared to the others models in the class, the Cherokee is in line with the Mazda CX-5, Nissan Rogue, and Toyota RAV4 models.
