I have a 2018 Cherokee with the 3.2 L V6. It’s the SUV that I drive like a sports car! Sports mode is a beast and I happy to see it was used in the video in a couple of places.
@@F8lastcallcharger345 no it's a terrible travel vehicle don't drive where it's alot of hills it's going to struggle and work extra hard my guess is that 9 speed transmission does not pair well with the 4 cylinder
@@brotha1984 so I have the nine speed and the four-cylinder... First of all while it's the same transmission use for the 6 , they changed the final drive ratio so it's still geared lower than the V6. Second of all, the first gear total ratio is almost 20:1 (final drive * first gear gives you the total force multiplication). It's one of the lowest geared cars ever made. It pairs quite well ... Off road , it has a mind blowing amount of power with the 56:1 crawl ratio. I never ever have to floor it. It's so much power you have to press the brake harder to keep it from going forward at idle. It's a Jeep's Jeep for sure... Off road , zero issues at all with power / torque. On road , while the 0-60 is slow for today's standards , it will beat a 1995 V6 mustang to 60 - yes , even the 2.4 non turbo Jeep will beat an older V6 mustang. So while it's slow compared to most insanely powerful modern cars , I don't think it's that slow. In 1995 it would be very fast , and it's just as fast as the v6 Cherokee XJ.
@@matty1053 what year model year is yours I had the 2016 2.4 it was a bad traveling car I live here in California with alot of hills car use to struggle I barely traded it and got a grand cherokee much fun to drive way more horse power no regrets
I remember I had the 2016 4 cylinder model of this jeep cherokee very underpowered traded it in and got the big boy Grand Cherokee no regrets if any body who's looking to get a cherokee don't ever get that 4 cylinder model get a v6 instead
I’m looking at the Limited V6 now. Most of the review videos are with the 4 cylinder. Most of the complaints are with the 4 cylinder. There is clearly a pattern and many people don’t know there are 3 engines to choose from.
Is that ninth gear (looks like 1500rpm at 120kph?) ever able to be used at all? seems almost too tall for "only" 3.2l n/a displacement in such a lump of car.
The autobahn is just highways that happen to have areas with no speed limit. You definitely shouldn't be casually cruising on the highway at 100-120mph in the US
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK i live with my mom and she has the Cherokee with that 2.0 turbo in it and she's actually getting a bit better gas mileage than the 2016 model that she had that had the V6 in it
you got to 187 Kmph and just let off the gas. I have one of these... ive hit 218 Kmph in mine not even trying...in America on the interstate. You cant let it upshift into high gear.
I had the 2.4L 4cyl /fwd model, I noticed the transmission was always searching for a gear, and it had to rev super high. I now have the Trailhawk with the 3.2 V6, and the motor/trans works together so much better!
@@La-yt1wr except oil radiator leaks on all 3.2 engines. cheap to replace, but still annoying why fca put that plastic shi- inside the V block. we all replace its lower plastic body with aluminum and it fixes the issue forever.
Yep, but the pentastar 3.2 is just a kind of version of the 3.6 (that is very used in the dodge durango, some journey, charger, challenger among others and in the jeep wrangler, cherokee trailhawk, grnd cherokee and gladiator) what I want to say is that the 3.2 is the same 3.6 but with less size of cylinders, parts are the same.

it became a time travel machine.. Everything reminds me 20 yrs ago. Like a good classic car from past. Thanks for the nice video
The jeep chime is so satisfying
3.2L Cherokee is way more fun than it should be for its size
I kinda like my 2.4l. It has really nice power for normally driving and the 9 speed helps. If you floor it is is kinda slow though

It’s that bad?
I'd rather drive a 4-cylinder than have your grasp of punctuation.
Can I ask you for your camera setup?
I wonder if the MPG there is the 4.5l or 3.8l gallon? If it's the 3.8l common to the US, then 24 mpg ain't too shabby for what it is
limiter removed with bolt on performance mods/ dyno tuned. ive got mine to 140 consistently and 150 on slight downhill.
That's pretty bad since before the limiter removal it was doing 188.
Mph*
150mph = 241.40km/h

I can imagine myself driving it
@Shamierecontantvlogs what’s your 9 months review with the car? Mainly the transmission? Any problems with yours?
Perfect car
Well done! Good Video 😀🔥
Why hasn’t anyone tried engine swapping there Jeep Cherokees??? I’ve looked all over the internet but there’s not a single one.
The 9th gear must be for the German customers
I can never hit normally. If I am going 80mph I can pull the shifter over and force it but when I go back to normal mode it goes back to 8
9th gear is just for manual switch to reduce noise from the engine, but it actually reduce milage anyway, thats why automatic never go for it.
This the autobahn? This normal traffic on the highway in the states
The autobahn is just highways that happen to have areas with no speed limit. You definitely shouldn't be casually cruising on the highway at 100-120mph in the US
I love you Chanel
Very good video 😃🚗😁👍
I'm going to supercharge my 3.2 Jeep
Who sells a supercharger for this vehicle?
I’d like to know too please
Yeah yo no way
Updates
I hope it doesn’t blow ur trans
could you do equinox 2.0t or malibu priemere 2.0
We will try to test all cars :) hope soon one of your list
These cars go well over 200kmh without the Governer
I wish you could drive in a less busy highway.
Put us a video about Peugeot 301, 1.2 vti 3 cylinder, thanks.
we dont have peugeot 301 in germany or switzerland, i saw some in Eastern Europe some peugeot 301, i think we cant get peugeot 301 for a test
You should drive the one with the 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder engine
I did with jeep wrangler 2.0t sahara, it was awesome
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK i live with my mom and she has the Cherokee with that 2.0 turbo in it and she's actually getting a bit better gas mileage than the 2016 model that she had that had the V6 in it

depends on the model/year, pcm is limited at 120 on both of the v6 latitudes I've had. unlocked and tuned it hits 140s to 150.
Should I get the 3.2 or 2.0 turbo?
Both are ok. I still like the v6 better. It pairs better with the 9 speed and you don’t have to rev as high to get it going
Even though the turbo has more torque the V6 handled it better
I had the 2.4L 4cyl /fwd model, I noticed the transmission was always searching for a gear, and it had to rev super high. I now have the Trailhawk with the 3.2 V6, and the motor/trans works together so much better!
3.2 and 3.6 is proven reliable and has better towing especially the 3.6. But if you want a engine with better low end torque chose the 2.0t.

What was that? I have a 2015 and I can go faster than that and I don't even need an autoban
this car has limiter, its US Model, where do you live or where is your car registrated? because most US cars has limiter at 100-140 mph (160-220 kmh)
2.4 ..170кмч идет груженый на раз
here's the thing about the 3.2L Pentastar, It's kinda useless, because it's only used in the cherokee
Yep, but the pentastar 3.2 is just a kind of version of the 3.6 (that is very used in the dodge durango, some journey, charger, challenger among others and in the jeep wrangler, cherokee trailhawk, grnd cherokee and gladiator) what I want to say is that the 3.2 is the same 3.6 but with less size of cylinders, parts are the same.
But I would only be driving a Cherokee, so your comment is dumb
