| 2014 | 4dr SUV 271-horsepower 3.2L V6 9-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
V6 is very snappy when you need it to be. 9 speed transmission will try to keep engine revs low, so under light acceleration the vehicle can seem to be sluggish, which is easily overcome by giving it extra gas and making it drop a few gears. Sport mode removes this sluggishness by remapping the shift points and increasing throttle response. The Cherokee becomes very responsive in sport mode, even to lighter levels of acceleration. This makes the vehicle a blast to drive on winding back roads, or in hilly areas where vehicles are typically prone to losing and gaining lots of speed. During the break-in the transmission was a little jerky, as was expected after reading many reviews before my purchase. Under light acceleration it was only noticed between first and second gear. Under moderate acceleration it could be felt moving between other gears. After about 500 or less this dissappeared entirely. I no longer can tell when this transmission is shifting unless I am in sport mode. First and second gear in this vehicle are very tall. It will more than happily squall the tires, even with the traction control and the AWD automatically kicking in. Regarding ninth gear, this gear is very short. Most people will not experience this gear under normal driving conditions. The transmission is designed this way so that people who live in areas with higher speed limits, such as those in western states or in European countries, can achieve better gas mileage while still going 80+ miles per hour. Mine has the tow package with lower gears, and at 70 MPH it runs at 1700 RPM in 8th gear. This seems to bother many people, but it would never be able to do 70 in 9th gear over any distance if they programmed it to do so, as it would downshift constantly and achieve nothing more than extra wear on the components. If you drive under 80 MPH or in hilly areas you are not going to use 9th gear so do not be surprised or upset about it. I, for one, like the idea that i can go 90, if I really have to, without the engine screaming at 3 or 4 thousand RPM. see full review |

The tires quickly pack with snow and then spin if you're not careful. You need to keep the vehicle in snow on anything slick to keep this from happening constantly. see full review |
