Whether the Jeep Cherokee, a compact SUV, is built for comfort or for all-terrain use depends on which of the several versions you choose. It can be equipped with a 184-horsepower, 2.4-litre four cylinder and paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, and can tow up to 2000 pounds (907 kg). The optional and more powerful 3.2-litre Pentastar V6, fitted with the Towing package, upgrades this capacity to 4500 pounds (2041 kg).
