Our Jeep Cherokee Limited KL with the sunroof is nicely appointed and is a very comfortable drive with great leather seats. The V6 engine is powerful enough and I love the hill assist.....no roll back on steep inclines. The stop-start function can be bothersome in school traffic and I really doubt there is a fuel saving benefit associated with it. You really have to think about the wear and tear on the engine etc when it’s constantly stopping and starting; hence I usually turn it off when driving. It would be better if the stop-start functi...Read more

The car is comfortable to drive, however, there were annoying squeaks in the car that should not have been present in a $50k car, I persevered for a very long time before I found a mechanic who knew how to resolve the problem. I also have a non functioning 'stop start', I have taken the car for repair twice being told that the computer takes time (2weeks) to adjust once they 'repaired it' and it would be fine, however, it does not work and I'm sick of trying to get it repaired. The car is still under warranty. The tyres are also now needing rep...Read more

Very comfortable, handles well in city traffic and tight carparks. The diesel engine is strong and fuel economy is great, with a range of more than 750km on outback roads and up to 920km on sealed rural roads. The 18inch wheels with 55 profile tyres were a worry, but handle corrugated roads surprisingly well. Off road ability is amazing although the addition of Trailhawk wheels would allow better tyre choices for greasy off road work.
Dashboard layout is good, steering wheel controls work well and phone connection was a breeze compared to my...Read more

I bought my Jeep in September 2014. It is the Limited Edition fully loaded with all the goodies. I had a Ford Territory before that which I loved. The new design of the Jeep Cherokee is what really caught my eye and once I sat in one and drove it I was sold! I am super happy with the car except it is quite thirsty (but now comes in Diesel). My Territory was quite thirsty and I was told I would get all this great mileage etc. from the Jeep sales guy. This wasn't the case. Also the twice yearly servicing is disappointing and a rort in my opinion....Read more

Update on the Jeep, Still going strong, Even been towing a caravan with it now, I had to ask what the GCM for towing was from FCA. GVM 4628kg. GVM 4495kg Average 12L per hundred K's 2300t Caravan. My next car will be a new Jeep. Bought the Cherokee in August 2016 after test driving other cars in the same class, I even hired cars so I could test and compare a car over a few days of driving, When I first took the Jeep out I knew straight away this felt more comfortable and quiet, More refined and classy. So bought one, A limited 2L Deis...Read more

Excellent around town & country roads with outstanding ride, handling & comfort, so quiet as it has laminated side windows at the front too. Better & very easy to use features & available affordable options than the competition have with a best in class braked towing capacity (2397kg, that's the bar but it is actually 2500kg for the vehicle) of the turbo diesel they cant even dream of. Mine has all the options including the Luxury Pack (no sunroof) with active ventilated leather seats, try getting that in a MX5 or a Rav 4, & the most comfortabl...Read more

First issue I had with my Jeep Cherokee MY15, was sunroof rattling. Took it to the dealership and they had a look at it, claiming the rubbers were "dry and dusty" and needed lubrication. Two weeks later the issue came back again, and I had to book another service, and they claimed the same thing. Another month later same issue, this time however it stayed for about week, and they changed the panels, and the sunroof. For eight months I was driving the car noise free.

Nevertheless, I wasn't driving the car within those eight months issues free...Read more

I purchased a Jeep Cherokee KL Limited (the new Cherokee, released in late 2014) with a 2.0 Litre Diesel engine and 9-speed gearbox. The car looks great and you will get many comments about that (with the "You bought a Jeep" and "You need a bigger boat" comments as well). The car is feature rich and in the same price league as it's competitors. I wanted a Diesel and I got wone over by a huge media screen with navigation, ventilated leather seats and a proven Diesel engine (Fiat/Alfa/Holden).

The gearbox is not that great, as is has a manufac...Read more
