4X4, HYBRID, HEATED SEATS, ADAPTIVE CRUISE, BLIND SPOT Not everyone needs a three row. The new Jeep Cherokee is the right amount of SUV, sized for real life and priced the same way. This one is the entry Cherokee, Bright White over black cloth, and that is the appeal: the good stuff is standard, so the price stays sensible. In this province the 4x4 is the point, and it is here, with selectable traction modes to match the surface. Where it counts for winter, heated front seats and dual zone automatic climate control are standard. Tech is a 12.3 inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The driver assistance kit is deep for the price: Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection, Forward Collision Warning with active braking, lane keeping, rear park assist, and a rear camera. Power comes from a 1.6L turbocharged hybrid four cylinder, and the payoff is on the sticker: 6.3 L per 100 km combined, hybrid economy in a real 4x4. Jeep Canada backs it with a 5 year or 100,000 kilometre powertrain warranty. The honest take: this is the smart money Cherokee.
