2026 Jeep Cherokee Limited

[Blueprint]

Gotta say I'm really impressed with one thing so far: fuel economy. At the end of Day 1, with traffic mayhem and leaving it on for the photoshoot, it sat at 5.5 l/100 km.

What's on the back of my mind, of course, is that this is 1) a brand new model, 2) from Stellantis, 3) with a complex hybrid-electric system that is 4) added to a European turbo four. What could go wrong?

And speaking of that, my loan of the top-trim Grand Wagoneer did not happen (hence the gap in my reports here) because the previous journo broke down with it in Quebec city (it ran fine until it wouldn't start). It took a dealer the whole week to run diagnostics and eventually replace both batteries.

It's pretty much the box it came in:

I think these look pretty good. And 5.5 L/100 km is really impressive.

How is the cargo space? By the numbers it seems pretty small for something that is supposed to be utilitarian.

MSRP $52k+ is pretty nuts, but I think I need to stop beating that dead horse. It could be a decent used by in a few years.

Christ thats ugly, and thats saying a lot as the newer Cherokees were uglier than sin, they outdid themselves with this one.
