The all new 2019 Jeep Cherokee is here and Jeep has kindly given me the top of the line Overland trim. In this video review I talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the facelifted Cherokee, and I also go in depth about the Active Drive system that might seem confusing to buyers looking for an all-wheel drive midsize crossover
*CORRECTION* The Stelvio comes with an 8 speed transmission from ZF

Wow the front fascia looks so much better this year.
Great video! No BS, just the facts presented in an honest, open, and easy to understand voice. Wish more people did their videos this way. Keep up the great work!
Its looks a little more grown up like a baby Grande Cherokee now, i dig it
We own a 2019 Overland Cherokee. In the settings, you can program the heated steering wheel and seats upon start. This is an awesome Jeep. We've had several Grands but decided to downsize but didn't want to sacrifice some of the luxuries and the Overland fit the bill perfectly. We love it!
May I ask you something. How is the long distance ride comfort compared to the Grand?
@@henryjones6957 In my opinion long term driving is surprisingly comfortable.
@@henryjones6957 I own a 2019 Cherokee overland 2.0 turbo, from Chicago Illinois to Mexico City, Mexico. Three trips so far and very comfortable. The big head room is helpful and the leg room as well. Overall very comfortable
@@chrisauriazul2203 yes, in the meantime I bought a Cherokee Trailhawk 2019 and I love it :) but Thank you. Yeah, it's amazing on long trips
Wow, that's a great review. I was just looking for Trailhawk reviews, and yours came with the RUclips autoplay. Good thing! Thx
Great review!! Now you got me thinking if I wana purchase a Overland or Trailhawk
Thanks for the vid. Had my Jeep Cherokee for a while and never really understood.the 4WD function.
I love the brown seats, just wish it came with a black headliner.
Nice vidéo! Love my 2019 Limited with the 2.0 turbo.
I have a 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk and cannot stand not having separate buttons for the heater and cooled seats. At least I can drag them down to access them any time, but in the summer I have to switch to the cooled and so on. I also have no issue using my gloves to change anything. Did the 20019 change the screen so you have to use your finger? As for the transmission mine was tweeked over 4 times until I didn't get totally jerked around, but I am still not a fan of it. Good review though! Thanks.
WOW, this was really helpful. Thank you so much man
This was an amazing review video with great high definition video shots both internally and out on the roads. I was thoroughly impressed and educated.
When i start my 2016 rene. And its under 40 or so heated seats wheel auto activate. Doesn’t cherokee auto engage?
Great review! Subscribed.
I have the 2019 Trailhawk Elite Edition plus a couple optional packages, so it has all the same luxury options as the Overland, plus the off-road suspension and mechanical locking rear diff. Best of all worlds:-) You're incorrect about the sport mode only changing the torque application. It also adjusts the transmission shift points higher and holds it in a lower gear longer, which does give it a more peppy feeling.
The video quality is amazing 👌
You can program the driver heated seat and wheel to turn on with the car if it is below 41 degrees and it will do that when you remote start it with the Key Fob or the Uconnect app (if you have the 4c/4c with nave), and the vented seats can be set to auto turn on when it is 80 or above outside and it will do that with remote start to (again wither activated through the key fob or the app) Sport mode dose change the shift point and pattern in addition to the 4x4 split (I own a 2019 Trailhawk elite) The point of a Jeep is not to be an Alfa, it dose not have an electronic suspension, so there would be nothing to change.
Just leased a 2019 limited with everything. Just like this but black leather. LOVE IT! Came from a 2018 Cherokee plus
Hunter Prentiss update?
And How much did you spend?
Really comprehensive, thanks!
My JGC Summit has the Sport button and I agreed its easy to access and I love the way the suspension drops, As far as the seats dislike as Michelle mentioned the auto start, You don't even need to "Program" it. Jeep has had this since 2016 When you auto start it reads the outside temp and sets the temp and seats according to the outside Temp; If it's 103 the AC and Vent seats come on and if its 36 The heat and heated seats come on, no programing needed. Great Review though.
its 3.2 v6 in cherokee not 3.6 (wrangler, grand cherokee).. and sport mode does affect when the transmission is going to shift not only the power ratio to the wheels.
Wait it has ventilated seats? I am looking at buying one, if it does thats gonna be great!
In regards to your comment on the throttle response, my 19' cherokee limited has the 3.2 v6 and when in sport mode, the throttle response is dramatically increased in my opinion. Might just be the engine option in your model.
the 2.0 turbo is too new, not vetted and with it being Direct Injection there will be problems down the line. Also it's Fuel saving compared tot the V6 is so minimal that you are much better off getting the Tried, tested and true 3.2 Pentastar.
Also, The XJ got a facelift and so did the KL. interesting.
If you use the remote start or just start it when it is under 40 degrees it will turn on the heated seats and steering wheel if you set it up for that.I just bought a 2019 trailhawk with the 2.0 turbo love it so far the turbo runs really good!
Haha. It's like that on the previous gen Cherokee, too. It's nice to borrow my father's '17 here and there during the winter months.
How's it running now? I am interested in this vehicle,but have read lots of bad reviews regarding reliability.
This is true on every Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and RAM with Remote Start.
@@thevoiceofcod643 yes how is it doing over time? Would buy one if they fixed the reliability.
The seat color is great, yet you are not really rolling unless the cup holders are illuminated. Try putting the auto button on then setting the climate to your likes. When you turn the Overland on using the remote start the seat warmers and heated steering wheel will turn on. What type of tires did your Jeep Cherokee come with. The tires are holding the road well.
Good review
I'm in the market for a new car with the 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk at the top of my list and agree with you on the pricing like you said in the price range of the Overland or Trailhawk Elite you have a lot of options like a Grand Cherokee
Thanks for watching! Let us know what you eventually end up with!
-Hansen
ShiftingLanes I will probably be a Trailhawk Elite later this year
Overland for me all the way. Has a much better looking front end.
Just got the new 2018 Mazda CX5, beats the Jeep hands down.
I was looking at that too, along with the Cherokee Overland, new Tiguan SEL Premium, and a few others. I ended up with a loaded Volvo XC40 Momentum, black with red leather. Freakin love it!!
This is the best review I've found. Very fair. I'm in the market for a new car and this has been very helpful. The "bad" of review certainly rings true, as does the "Good"
Thank you for watching! Glad we can help in your decision making!
-Hansen
The break lock diff sounds like positrac. Also, there are no axles in this thing.
You can make the pricing argument about any vehicle. The top trim will approach pricing of bottom or mid trims from the next tier vehicle. If you compare apples to apples, the Cherokee Overland is $41k MSRP vs. GC Overland $50k MSRP.
Better you just take $20,000 cash out in the back yard and burn it you will loose that much in 1st year depreciation on this thing. The G/C is a better bang for the buck and you could still have a G/C limited for $41k which is a superior vehicle with much better durability and resale value.
@@robc8468 while normally I would agree, they really stepped up the Cherokee this year, it frankly looks like a 2/3 GC. With real off road capabilities and a very strong interior and engine now, the issue will be reliability. FCA has somewhat improved on that lately but they will really need this to be gremlin free especially the transmission. Time will tell. If it stays reliable you could see them resellable for the first 50k. I'm not holding my breath.
@@robc8468 DUDE, 20k is a huge difference. It had better be a superior Jeep for that type of money. Oh speaking of Depreciation the GC depreciates just as bad amigo. Only the Wrangler retain there value.
Obvious mistakes as other have mentioned about the 3.6 vs 3.2 liter engine and 10 speed trans, etc. Also, no mention of the Trail Hawk Elite package.
Its possible they could adjust the firmware to alter the shifting and sport mode. The best thing would be to tune it yourself.
Dillmiester get a throttle commander
i got a 19 with tha 5.7 and modded it out got it faster than a damn srt now
The jeep cherokee is my dream car. I'm a simple man. I finally got one. A 2019 cherokee limited turbocharged. One month in a check engine light came on. The top O2 sensor is faulty apparently. Scheduled a visit to a local jeep dealership. Still love the thing!
Any other issues or was it an easy fix?
@@matutahoot finally weeks later the part came in and I can take it in. It was on back order. I could've done it myself in 5 minutes but since it was under warranty and could've been expensive I wanted it done by them.
$42k for luxury trim on this to be honest is not bad. consider my dealer gave me the new BMW X2 XDrive 28i for a loaner vehicle last weekend and that MSRP is at $42,750 with just the convenience pkg (keyless entry, heated seat/steering wheel, lumbar support) and that was it. It also didn't drive any different than the X1. the only thing surprising was the X2 actually has good rear leg room.
X2 is nice but is in reality a station wagon. The Jeep really will handle snow and bumps.
it looks better then the earlier KL
but not as good as the 84-01 XJ
With the back seat all the way forward and folded down, what is the measurement from the rear lift door to the front seat? I can't seem to find that measurement anywhere.
not bad
hate reviews where the car is only shown 10% of the video...
Great review and nice to see the Overland with Napa as local dealers only have black black and black. I agree the price is closing into X3 territory..and that is a tough comparison. The 2018 19 X3 is gorgeous and handles perfectly much better suspension and engine and of course even fancier. I think there are incentives though so a $42k Jeep Cherokee overland probably out the door for 37 new. Question: Did you use the auto engine shutoff? That is how they get it to combined 25mpg. It's not bad on this car. Thanks!
Very few of the Overland Model on dealer lots, including my long time dealer, Mullen Motors, Southold, L.I., N.Y. Discounts are already available thru 4/2/2018. I'm planning on ordering later in the year. Model will be 3.2L V6 Overland 4x4, plus Tech. Group Package, minus the panoramic sunroof. Currently listed at $39,465 with incentive. Price should improve for those of us willing to wait.
I agree first we need to see the 2018 inventory go down then I expect to see better deals on the 2019
The turbo 4 is the better engine choice imo! They both have the same hp rating, but the turbo provides more torque. Ergo, it should be faster 0-60 and for passing.
You're probably right. For me, 4 cylinders are a little suspect, being they run "hot" and are more vulnerable to engine damage. However, I believe the Turbo 4 is a proven Alpha Romeo engine, so a little more confidence. My other car is a 2016 Chr. 200 AWD C with 3.6L Pentastar V6 (295 hp) and it flies(9 speed including sport paddles). A few less HP with the 3.2L in the Jeep. I think they have retuned the transmission in the 2019 Jeep line. Despite that improvement, 9 speeds improve economy but perhaps at the expense of performance. I expect to place an order in the next couple of weeks hoping for a better deal by the time the car arrives at my dealer.
Frank W - I have owned 4cy turbos in my last two cars (250ish hp), and have had zero issues other than being quick as hell with good economy. I feel that they are rather decent engines, and with the majority of the industry going that route for many of their vehicles, it would be a good choice for most basic car purchases.
My Jeep dealer here in Indy has rather good deals going now. I'm looking right now at a loaded 19 Cherokee Overland that stickers at $41k (4cy turbo) and their discount amount is 10% before other incentives and such.
Thanks Jeff for the valuable info. Hope I get a similar offer. Appreciate your input.
Did anyone else notice that when they show the dashboard (while he is driving) the mph is 0... tje coat is different than his blue shirt.
What is true about this review?
I own a 2019 limited and .... eh.
The Stelvio has an 8-speed trans. No FCA product has a 10-speed.
Thank you for pointing that out. Misspoke about the transmission numbers. The 8 speed in the Stelvio is a fantastic transmission
...but Ford does 😉
@@ShiftingLanes isn't it the same as the Cherokees?
@@henryjones6957 Yes and NO. The 8 speed is the most acclimated and praised transmission in the business. ZF Fredricksen (Germany) is the Manufacturer. The ZF-8 HP is used in 90% of the BMW's manufactured, Bentley, Jeep, Alfa Romeo etc...
Now with respects the the ZF-8HP there are many variant's of them. The one in the Gran Cherokee is the standard 8 speed. The ones used in the Gulia/Stelvio or BMW M series are a more specially tuned and reinforced ZF-8HP with the tuning done by BMW or Alfa.
@@paulj9821 Thank you
I know it's the cool thing to do in reviews to bring up 4 year old problems on something that has been fixed for 3 or more years now. There is nothing wrong with the 9 speed transmission, it doesn't have problems shirting or being responsive that's all in the programming. I have a Chrysler 200s with the same Transmission (well its the 2wd version but still) It has the sport mode you like and when I pop it into that it is very responsive both the throttle and the shift, it downshifts instantly sometimes 3 or 4 gears in a snap (it also tightens the steering). So again your beef with the Cherokee isn't the transmission it's the lack of real sport mode.
1:40 end of days weather, damn...
43k ??? My 2018 Grand Cherokee Laredo E cost me $30 k out the door! Anybody buying this Cherokee Overland for $40K could expect to lose $20k in depreciation the day they drove it off the lot. Also I am not a fan of unproven tiny turbo 4 engines pulling around heavy utility vehicles how long do you think that engine will last out in the real world with hit or miss maintenance? Luckily a normal aspirated 3.2 v-6 is available I still think FCA will need another 1-2 years to fix the issues of the 9 speed and make it shift as nice as the 8 speed in my Laredo.
I just leased my Cherokee Overland for $42,700 with a risidual buyout at the end of 23,700. So yeah it's depreciating by 19k but that's over 3 years and putting 36k miles on it. As someone who works in the industry, I can tell you that a $40-50k SUV will typically depreciate by that much over the first three years regardless of make with the exception of Wranglers.
Jace Sime if you don’t mind saying, what is the monthly lease payment?
will never happen. The 9 speed utilizes 2 syncro dog clutch's which is the cause of the 5th gear downshift delay.
I’m looking at the certified preowned now and they’re about 27k with all the features in my area.
I'm assuming that's US Gallons? Also...anyone have an issue with milage- 13 g tank is pretty freaking small...
C Hobley It's a 15 gal. I'm getting about 375 Miles out of my 3.2L 4x4.
450 mile tank seems large to me.
My Cherokees touchscreen works totally fine with gloves on.
mine too! 2017...
Man he loves to hear himself talk. Great vehicle. Wish I could have seen a bit more in a 20+ minute video.
Correction. 3.2 V-6, not the 3.6 Pentastar.
My Overland is the best! I got 6000 off and I will keep it until the wheels fa ll off A+
Can you use regular 87 octane fuel in the new 2.0 Turbo engine?
They say it takes “premium” but who’s really gonna put that in a Cherokee... it shouldn’t be over 89 grade if anything. Premium in an American car is nuts. Even the super expensive Cadillac XT5 takes regular unleaded.. just because it’s a turbo 4 it needs premium...? I don’t agree with that.
Its designed to run on Premium fuel
It is turbocharged high compression. Yes premium fuel is required or it will knock. And drop power way down. No seriously turbocharged car runs on regular gas.
89 octane is the recommend fuel grade to use. It also works on regular fuel without any knocking.
Maxxis Bravo HP M3
I really like the Trailhawk trim......I'd have bought one by now but.... Jeep reliability....... :(
Thanks for a great review. Some others gave nasty comments about the review, I will try to help without the snide remarks. It is true that you spent too much time on the workings of the 4x4. It IS important, but you need to condense it. And you tend to show yourself while driving and talking; you may consider doing that with a voice-over while showing MUCH more of the interior (things like the stereo systems, more on the 8 inch u connect, etc. etc. ). In short, much less of you and more images and video of the vehicle and talking about sound, tow etc. packages available as well as real world considerations of gas mileage, engine differences, warranty coverages, etc.. Again tho, pretty well done, thank you.
I've owned Chrysler vehicles for close to 20 years (I worked there). The last time that I had a car that shifted properly was my 1999 Olds Alero. I currently own a 2015 200 Limited. Sometimes it properly downshifts when exiting a turn, but most of the time it can't be bothered. Push the pedal a bit and nothing happens. It shifts better than my previous Sebrings. But from the reviewers comments at 12:35, nothing has changed with FCA transmissions. Literally.
I see TWO Sport Modes -- one the in the Select Terrain and another by sliding the Transmission to Left of Drive Gear and make the Cherokee Semi-Auto. To get everything that you have on the Overland in a Grand Cherokee, the price is $50K for Luxury II Package (to get the Dual Pane Sunroof) and Advanced Safety Package. The Grand Cherokee Summit that you showed is about $55K for V6. The Cherokee V6 is a V-config and not Inline. It is also 3.2L V6 and not the 3.6L V6 that come in many Fiat-Chrysler-Automobiles like the Grand Cherokee, 300, Durango, Charger, Challenger, and Wrangler.
TheVoiceofCOD The Summit And The Overland
2:41 - not bad.
I would get the 6 cylinder. I don't like small underpowered engines with turbos added.
Actual more torque with 2.0 and 1 less horsepower but I have the 3.2V6 it's nice but 0 to 60 .2 seconds quicker with 2.0
I know this is an older post. We had a 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk with the 3.2 V-6. The housing is made of plastic for the oil filter/cooling and we lost 5 quarts of oil going down the road at about 70,000 miles. The 2.0 turbos have a conventional spin-on oil filter. In my opinion they are easier to deal with and no plastic housing in the neighborhood.
whats wild is i havent seen a jeep that looks like tha one ur showing lol
Yesterday being Sunday, I took a ride to a couple of dealers on central L.I. N.Y. who's websites showed 2019 Jeep Overlands in stock. The rep. at the dealer in Patchogue was not fluent in what the incentive was, nor was he aware that there was a vehicle in the back of his lot. I searched and located it myself (looked like it had been through a dust storm and seagull attack). Next I drove to Smith Haven, where customers were sitting in a cramped showroom apparently waiting for their turn to see a salesperson. I caught the ear of an employee outside, asked where all the new stock was. The reply was "scattered in various locations up and down the main thoroughfare. "Stop inside, wait and see a sales person who could drive you to find the car." Last Sunday, in the freezing cold, I drove to the (closed on Sunday) Southampton dealership to search for their Overland which was nowhere to be found although appearing on their website. Spoke with representatives at Jeep, including an incentive specialist last week to find that they both stated they have nothing to do with the Jeep Corporation website. I asked them to "pass up the food chain" that the calculations involving incentives not only change from day to day, but don't sync up as one traverses from web page to web page. Furthermore, the corporate website seems to never be in sync with dealer websites. So the answer if buying a car is to visit a dealer. For me, that is going to a low pressure dealership like the loyal one I have been a customer to since the early 70's (Mullen Motors, Southold, N.Y.). All their vehicles are lined up "neatly" by brand and type with window stickers on each in a modest lot. That's one of the reasons why they have been voted #1 in the country buy their customers. Additionally, they provide the best service around - customer satisfaction first.
FCA dealers have really dropped to low quality, it is the same all over. Jammed lots and hard to get a sales person. The incentives are terrific though. If the could somehow get their reliability to match the higher prices they would see Jeep print money. They are so close but cannot seem to get the basics to last for 100k. Even Ford figured that out.
God review-but 3.6 litre is only in the Grand Cherokee. 3.2 in the Cherokee , which is still the most powerful engine-1 more hp than 2.o turbo! lol
It’s all about the torq
Noah C yes the 2.0 turbo does have more torque. And the 3.2 still has the higher tow rating.
295 torque is more than my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee at only 260 ft/lbs and 500lbs heavier~ likely a turbo going into GC too
The turbo is not there for Horsepower -- its for torque. 2.0L Turbo is 295 lbs/ft Torque. The 3.2 is only 239 lbs/ft of torque. Torque is the acceleration factor on an engine LOL.
Use logic how long will a 2 liter engine pushed to twice the power what a N/A 2.0 puts out will last out in the real world with real world maintenance?
The most obvious ugly is the Cherokee’s long front overhang.
They want to turn jeep into a Range Rover brand with crazy prices!
I've noticed this as well. In 2017 the starting price for the Cherokee was around $24,000. In 2019 the starting price for the Cherokee is about $29,000 (In the Canadian market.) The prices keep going up with little explanation.
Personally I like the old face but the new rear end.
Kyle Clement the prices went up because the base Sport model was discontinued, and the more well optioned Latitude became the base model. They're making the Cherokee a more upscale vehicle and marketing the Compass as more affordable.
That's not a Cherokee in my opinion until it looks more like an XJ...
I'm not sure Jeep will ever go back to making the lackluster shoe box design of the old Cherokees.
A sport-mode button? That is the ONE thing you DO NOT want in a car. Sheesh.
This is not a car it's a Jeep Cherokee. All the luxury brand suvs have a sport button, but they handle much more like cars than trucks.
Sport button makes it rear wheel drive in the trailhawk.
Basically two negatives one positive :( lol should be a great, good , bad and ugly !
Worst car you will need a lot of maintenance after 5 years only one time per month at least it will breakdown
My buddy’s lifted 1995 Jeep Cherokee would smoke this thing that ain’t a Jeep that’s a soccer dad rig
You've provided some inaccurate information. You really don't know enough about this automobile to be making an informative video. The V6 engine is a 3.2L. The towing capacity is 4500lbs with the V6 engine and the trailer tow package, 4000lbs with the 2.0L engine. The AD2 system provides an extra 1 inch of ground clearance and off road suspension.
Thanks E.V for pointing that out
It's a SUV why the hell would you want a sport mode??? You want sport get a sport sedan. Good grief. 271HP isn't enough? The 2.0L turbo isn't worth it. No significant fuel efficiency benefits. The Grand Cherokee with the HEMI is well over $50k so the argument for an alternative to the KL is absolutely absurd, seriously you are ways off.
Its his review. Make your own video and tell everyone you don't want a sport mode.
Very insightful comment thank you.
You're an idiot. The turbo makes more torque and more importantly turbocharged engines lose less power with altitude increases than normally aspirated or supercharged engines. If you live in a sea level shithole, the V6 is fine. At 5000 feet, you're down 15%, 10000 ft. 30%.
Plus the 2.0 turbo requires premium gas. No thanks. I’ll stick with the 3.2 v6 that this guy knows nothing about
The 2 liter turbo makes 70 more ftlb of torque than the 3.2 V6 and is 160 lbs lighter. It gets 2 more miles to the gallon as well. The handling benefits of a lighter engine make a huge difference as I have driven both. As for 2.0t SUVs .... you don't follow the industry much. They dominate now and are amazing frankly. Audi, FCA, BMW all use them. Tows 4000 lbs and hey 29 mpg. That is worth the $500 upcharge. It sounds great at idle and crusing but a bit rough around town.
good lord, can you talk more about the all wheel drive system? Zzzzzzzz
my car 2yrs ,65k miles , 2.4L cherokee,think twice before buy,, 9 speed transmission does not work properly ,,front suspesion system also very poor handling capacity ,every 1000 miles at least 1.5 qrt oil burns this motor, stopping distance is too long ,
You should have got the V6.
This is the 2019 model.. Im pretty sure FCA fixed all that
Vel Boone It still has that transmission though, doesn’t it?
Did you ever get the problem fixed? I was considering buying a new 2019 jeep Cherokee tomorrow
@@velboone6041 nope
