We had two 2016 Cherokee Sports w/AWD and 2.4L engines. In daily winter commutes we used the remote starter the mileage was quite lower than in the summer. On the highway with oversized all terrain tires I could easily pull out better than EPA estimated fuel mileage, ranging from 28 mpg to as high as 31 mpg in hilly terrain with some lower city speeds mixed in. With my wife's replacement vehicle to her Cherokee having gotten totaled by someone who ran a red light, she went back to a Cherokee. I now plan to do the same with the Ram 1500 replacement I had as a replacement to mine. The Cherokee is awesome in winter and provides very competent handling and a nice ride as well. As far as lower than expected mileage with the turbo engine, remember it all comes down to driving habits. With a turbo it requires fuel to create boost and additional horsepower. The more you wish to accelerate or maintain a higher speed, the more fuel you're going to use -- and not in proportion to a vehicle with a larger naturally aspirated engine.
I have a 2021 Jeep Cherokee that I special ordered, and I average 25-27 mpg and have gotten up to 35 mpg on the interstate. Not sure how that isn’t “fuel efficient.” This is also in an area surrounded with mountains, so there are plenty of mountain passes to go up. It is now at 21,000 miles and continues to get the same gas mileage.
Do you have the 2.0 turbo.. I just got my 22 trailhawk and 1st tank of fuel was average of 21.2 mpg . It should get better .. still breaking in I have the 3.2l pentastar
@@josephvolper3633 yes, I have the 2.0T. The other day I took a trip to Greensboro going 80mph the entire way and occasionally using passing gear and I went 150 miles on 4 gallons (which is nearly 38mpg). I wouldn’t really go by the trip computer, see how many miles you go and how many gallons of gas it takes. I just have the Lat LUX with the base 4x4 system.
@@josephvolper3633 I’m not sure why. It was the same way when I ordered mine, one reason why I wasn’t interested in the TH. For ‘19-‘20 you could get the 2.0T with the TH. I assume it’s because they have a plethora of 3.2s considering it’s the only Chrysler product in the US to use the 3.2, and not to mention the 2.0T being used in more popular vehicles like the JLU and the new GC 4xe.
The turbo is actually good for 4,000 lb since the 2.4 that's only good for 2,000 lb but honestly I think it could probably tow more it just wouldn't go very fast and a lot of the towing ratings are based on acceleration so I'm going to say that that might be the primary reason because you know the springs and the hitch and the rail cooler and all of that other stuff is exactly the same only the engine is different so it has to be an engine Factor.
+1 the snow drifting is my favorite part, same for Jeep Compass Trailhawk, please. Jeep Compass is smaller with better looking front. However, the Jeep Cherokee has more luxurious interior. Why Jeep made so many diesels engines and not more powerful petrol engines? diesel is better in off-road, like rivers? Winter is not good for diesel, I guess? So why they chosen diesel?
@@CarQuestion they are lucky that they have so powerful petrol engines for Jeep, in Poland most powerful engines for Jeep are diesels, which is very sad
According to www.jeep.com/jeep-capabilities/towing.html for 2019: FWD: 2000lbs 4x4: 4500lbs but once again, it's only a number and even if it can do it, I hope you got good brakes on your trailer at 4500lbs!
@@CarQuestion we had a 2017 Trailhawk with 3.2l pentastar rated at #4500. we hauled out Side x Side and at 90km/h, we were doing 25l/100k, we traded for a truck. the 4500 was maybe for hauling something flat.

The 2.0 t wasn't an option in 2022 for the trailhawk i wonder why

I love my Trailhawk even my 2.4 Cherokee Trailhawk can climb a tree because the gearing is so good.
Love your channel, keep it up!
V6 or turbo has the best gas mileage when towing ?
my 2016 gets excellent gas mileage about 29 mph out of 31 mpg i think it supposed to get.
Good review! And the Québécois approach is very interesting
Thanks for that comments ! Merci ;)

3.2 V6 is the best engine
Good review and points
The Cherokee is still offered with the very good V6.
The competition has nothing similar. And the compass has just one engine.
Ansr Max I’m not sold on turbo engines and there longevity.
Give me a V6 over a Turbo Charged 4 Banger any day.
I averaged 18 mpg in limited
love the channel, keep up the good work...no offense but you remind me of a mouse..you want some cheese.
Wow.good review.
BONNE ANNEE 2019

No diesel for now in Canada :(

Still love your stuff. VW sucks. Tiguan needs to be tested !!! I might have to do it myself !!! LoL.
Question: What country are you from????
Oh Canada :)
Alors jeep cherokee ou rav4 '?
The 2.0 can haul up to 4000lbs...

@@nbatvforum yeah fuel efficiency is not calculated when towing. What was the total weight of your setup?
@@CarQuestion less than 3000 i bet
@@nbatvforum in a regular trailer or a close one?
hahh a haha hhahahhahahah
