What is the engine model of the Jeep Cherokee?

The engine model of the Jeep Cherokee is 46338538. The low-power version has a maximum power of 172kW, maximum horsepower of 234, and maximum torque of 350 Nm. The high-power version has a maximum power of 195kW, maximum horsepower of 265, and maximum torque of 400 Nm. The Cherokee's engine is produced by GAC FCA Jeep and is a domestically manufactured engine. For daily maintenance of the Cherokee engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, 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. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving the Jeep Cherokee for a few years with the 2.4L four-cylinder engine. It's smooth for daily commutes, with fuel consumption around 10L/100km, which isn't too high. However, after test-driving a friend's 3.2L V6 version, the power was noticeably stronger—perfect for towing or mountain roads. The newer models also offer a 2.0L turbocharged engine, which I've heard provides quicker acceleration and better fuel efficiency, though with higher maintenance costs. Overall, engine choice depends on personal needs. The base model is sufficient for commuters like me, while the V6 suits outdoor enthusiasts better. The engine reliability has been great; no major repairs even after tens of thousands of kilometers, though regular oil changes are crucial.
