Jeep Cherokee
An Italian Jeep! The traditionalists are worried, but underneath the distinctive look, the powertrain remains true to its heritage. The Trailhawk version, properly Trail Rated, uses a 271-hp V6 with locking rear differential to leave the competition biting the dust on trails. The more urban-oriented versions, available with a 184 horsepower four-cylinder or the V6, need not hide from their competitors either. All models use the unique nine-speed automatic transmission.
