2 Answers
The Jeep Cherokee currently has 7 models on sale, with a total vehicle weight ranging from 1710kg to 1975kg. It is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4669*1865*1691mm. In the same class, the Tiguan L 2022 model has a total vehicle weight of 1665kg, while the Highlander 2022 model weighs 1930kg. In terms of power, the 2021 Cherokee features an 80th Anniversary Edition model. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission. The engine has 4 cylinders in a transverse layout, with a front-engine, four-wheel-drive configuration. Other configurations for the 2021 Cherokee include, in all or some models, front and side airbags, front/rear head airbags (curtains), ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, automatic parking, and driving mode switching. It's important to note that the Cherokee sold in China is known as the Jeep Cherokee overseas, and the current models are the fifth-generation mid-cycle refresh. The exterior and powertrain have undergone some changes, with the most noticeable being the replacement of the split headlights with a single-unit design. The powertrain has also been updated from a naturally aspirated engine to a turbocharged engine.
I've been driving a Jeep Cherokee for five years. This SUV typically weighs between 1800 to 1900 kilograms, depending on whether it's front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive configuration. This weight makes it exceptionally stable on highways—it doesn't get blown around in windy conditions, and the braking performance is reliable. While it feels slightly bulky in urban driving, the steering isn't laborious, and the average fuel consumption is around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, which is reasonable. I recommend checking tire pressure when the car is new, as the weight can cause tires to wear out faster. Routine maintenance every 5,000 kilometers is sufficient. Overall, the weight is advantageous for off-roading—it provides strong traction when climbing muddy slopes and enhances safety. Don't overlook the vehicle's load capacity; adding luggage increases weight and affects handling, so reduce speed when taking highway curves to prevent rollovers. During test drives, experience how the weight balances across different road conditions.
