The Jeep Cherokee returns in 2026 with a completely renewed proposal, now exclusively hybrid.
Produced in Toluca, Mexico, the model combines a 1.6-liter turbo gasoline engine with two electric motors, delivering 210 hp and a range of over 800 km on a single tank. Jeep does not yet offer a plug-in version but does not rule out new powertrain options in the future. The vehicle maintains the brand’s visual identity, with a seven-slot grille and robust lines, but incorporates modern elements from the current Jeep lineup, along with expanded interior space of up to 1,927 liters with the seats folded.
The new Cherokee prioritizes efficiency and comfort, offering front-wheel drive with the possibility of 50/50 distribution between axles, four driving modes, and a towing capacity of up to 1,588 kg. With 20.3 cm of ground clearance and approach and departure angles suitable for moderate off-road, the model promises solid performance on different types of terrain, although the more extreme “Trail Rated” version is yet to come.
Standard features include a 12.3-inch multimedia center, a 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring. Jeep also offers the Connect One package with 10 years of updates and app-based connectivity.
The 2026 Cherokee will be launched in four trims: Base, Laredo, Limited, and Overland, with prices ranging from US$ 36,995 to US$ 45,995, arriving at dealerships between late 2025 and early 2026.
