HEATED SEATS, HEATED WHEEL, REMOTE START, BLIND SPOT, ADAPTIVE CRUISE, FORWARD COLLISION BRAKING A compact Jeep has to fit a Portage driveway and still get you through a January morning. The Jeep Cherokee Laredo is sized for the first and equipped for the second. Dressed in Sting-Gray Clear Coat, it reads sharp on the lot and stays that way once the winter roads get involved. The 4x4 is not a nice to have in this province, it is the point, and this unit carries it. On capability it carries Selec-Terrain traction management, which dials the 4x4 in for surfaces like snow, sand, mud or rock and a windshield wiper de icer. Where it counts for winter, the interior brings heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and remote start. After one cold snap you stop thinking of them as extras. The cabin keeps up on tech, bringing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a large touchscreen, and Uconnect 5 so the daily stuff is one tap away instead of buried in a menu. The driver assistance kit is genuinely well stocked: Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Warning with active braking, and Active Lane Management. Power comes from a 1.6L turbocharged hybrid four cylinder. Behind it sits Jeep Canada's 5 year or 100,000 kilometre powertrain warranty, which means the engine, transmission, and driveline are covered well beyond the typical loan term. Put simply, it is a strong buy at this price and ready when you are. Book a test drive at Dunn Ram Trucks in Portage la Prairie, a straight hour from Winnipeg. Financing and preapproval can be arranged, and if you cannot make the trip we deliver.
