What are the engine specifications of the Jeep Cherokee?

The Jeep Cherokee is equipped with engine model 46338538, delivering a maximum horsepower of 265 HP and a maximum power output of 195 KW at 5200 rpm, with a peak torque of 400 Nm. The Cherokee's engine is jointly produced by GAC and Fiat Chrysler, assembled domestically in China with technical support from abroad. For daily maintenance of the Cherokee's engine, the following methods are recommended: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil deteriorates over time. After a certain mileage, degraded oil can cause various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, bypassing the filter and carrying contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Our Jeep Cherokee was purchased a few years ago, and I specifically researched its engine parameters when choosing the car. Currently, the common options are the 2.0-liter turbocharged and 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engines. The 2.0T version delivers a maximum power of 265 horsepower with a peak torque of 400 Nm, paired with a 9AT transmission, providing particularly responsive acceleration at traffic lights. The top-of-the-line imported model even comes with a 3.2-liter V6 engine, offering 271 horsepower for stable high-speed driving. What I like most about the Cherokee's engine is its low-end torque performance—the turbo kicks in around 1,500 rpm, making overtaking on winding mountain roads effortless. However, it's worth noting that tuning varies slightly across different model years; for example, post-2019 domestic models are mostly equipped with the 2.0T engine. In real-world driving, the combined fuel consumption ranges from 10-12 liters, rising further with aggressive driving.

Last month, I helped a friend test drive the Jeep Cherokee, focusing on the engine performance. The flagship 2.0T model has ample power reserves, with 400 Nm of torque being more than sufficient for city driving, delivering noticeable acceleration when flooring the pedal. Compared to the 2.4L naturally aspirated version I've driven before, which offers adequate 175 horsepower for daily use, it feels slightly underpowered when climbing hills. The transmission shifts precisely, especially in sport mode where it maintains higher RPMs, making overtaking very confident. This engine also features multi-stage combustion technology, providing strong burst power during rapid acceleration. Fuel efficiency is average for its class, consuming around 12 liters per 100 km in city driving with AC on. If considering a used Cherokee, prioritize the 2.0T 4WD version for better power matching.

The Jeep Cherokee offers three main engine configurations. The current mainstream option is the 2.0L turbocharged version, delivering 195 kW of power and 400 Nm of torque, which easily outperforms naturally aspirated competitors in its class. The earlier 2.4L naturally aspirated variant produces only 129 kW, making it more suitable for urban commuting. The top-tier 3.2L V6 model boasts 271 horsepower with strong high-end power, though it's relatively rare in the domestic market. All variants are paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission that provides refined engine speed control, enabling 7th gear engagement at just 60 km/h. Personally, I believe the Cherokee's most impressive feature is its excellent engine lightweighting - the aluminum alloy cylinder block is 21 kg lighter than the previous model, benefiting both fuel efficiency and handling.
