The 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013

The all new 2014 Jeep Cherokee is said to debut in March at the New York International Auto show.  The Jeep Cherokee had been one of the best sellers with an economical yet powerful six cylinder engine, strong off-road features and capabilities and high interior space to foot print ratio. The preproduction photos that were released of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee did raise a few eyebrows as there were references made to a lot of other cars like the Nissan Juke , Pontiac Aztek and many others. The reactions have been mixed, but most of the reviews on the lake have been a tad negative because of the similarities with other car models.
The Off-Road Abilities Of 2014 Jeep Cherokee
The most important aspect that people relate to a Jeep is the off road capabilities of the models and the off road details of the 2014 have not been released by Chrysler as of yet.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee will house a 3.2L V6 engine and not the usual 3.6L engine as the focus has been on the fuel mileage and better wheel travel.
The cars that will be exported will have a 2.0L four cylinder engine that is used currently.
The transmission on the car is expected to be the ZF nine speed automatic that uses a TorqueFlite styled planetary gear set and is to be built by Chrysler.
The front and rear departure angles are expected to be better than or the same as the Trail Rated Liberty
The NV242 transfer case is likely to be used to deliver power to the rear axle at 90°
AWD, 4WD low, 4WD high may all find its place in the 2014 Jeep Cherokee
