2019 Jeep Cherokee Augusta GA

What are the powertrain options for the 2019 Cherokee?

There are two distinct powertrain options available with the 2019 Cherokee. The first of these is the Pentastar 3.2-liter V6. This V6 can create 271 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque. What makes this engine stand out, even more, is the blending of power, efficiency, and refinement that gives the Cherokee less vibration, noise, and harshness. You’ll also find that this engine is capable of giving you a best-in-class towing of up to 4,500 pounds. The other engine option is the MultiAir2 Tigershark 2.4-liter inline-4. This inline-4 can produce 170 pound-feet of torque and 180 horsepower. In order to continue to improve, this engine uses an electro-hydraulic fully variable valve-lift system that uses a column of oil instead of a traditional mechanical link. What this means for you is that you are given more control and capability when it comes to engine-pumping and the volumetric efficiency. Both of these engines work in tandem with a nine-speed automatic transmission from TorqueFlite. This transmission gives you smooth power, an aggressive launch, and even better fuel efficiency.

What are the 4×4 systems offered with the Cherokee?

The Jeep Cherokee features three 4×4 systems that help to further enhance the off-roading capabilities of this impressive machine. The first of these systems is Jeep Active Drive I. This system doesn’t require driver intervention, and instead delivers yaw correcting, and improves oversteering and understeering. Jeep Active Drive II includes a two-speed Power Transfer Unit and torque management. You’ll also receive a height increase of one inch, and a crawl ratio of 48.3:1. The neutral state of this system gives flat-towing with all four wheels on the ground. The final option is Jeep Active Drive Lock, which is very similar to Jeep Active Drive II and includes a locking rear differential.
