2022 Jeep Cherokee Hurricane WV

2022 Jeep Cherokee

You love to explore parts unknown, to go off the beaten path and see what the wilderness has to offer. But you also have to make it to work on time on Monday. You need a vehicle that’s just as at home in the woods as it is in the concrete jungle. It sounds like you need to get behind the wheel of a 2022 Jeep Cherokee!

If you’re in the Hurricane, Charleston, or Huntington, WV, area, come visit the team at Walker Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR). Maybe you’re not quite sure if the Cherokee is right for you, and that’s where our review can come in handy. We’ve gone over the highlights of this rugged SUV so you can be fully informed when you come in for your test drive.

Power and Performance

You want a Jeep because you want off-road power and rugged performance, and to further that goal, the 2022 Jeep Cherokee has three available powertrains. The chart below outlines each engine’s specifications so you can make the right choice for your family.

	Horsepower	Torque	EPA-estimated MPG	Towing Capability
3.2L Pentastar® V6	271 HP	239 lb-ft	20 city/ 29 highway	4,500 lbs.
2.0L Turbo I-4	270 HP	295 lb-ft	23 city/ 31 highway	4,000 lbs.
2.4L Tigershark® I-4	180 HP	171 lb-ft	22 city/ 31 highway	2,000 lbs.

To get raw power from the engine turned into usable power for the wheels, you’ll have a standard 9-speed automatic transmission. The general rule is more gears equals a smoother ride, and with nine gears, you’re sure to have a comfortable drive.

Now, after the transmission, your engine’s power goes to the wheels via the drivetrain, and the 2022 Cherokee has two options. The first is front-wheel drive, which only sends power to the front axle, making it better for fuel economy. The other is 4-wheel drive, which sends power to each wheel individually, allowing for greater traction on slippery surfaces.

Comfort and Convenience

Jeep Cherokee Technology

To keep up with West Virginia’s constantly changing weather, the 2022 Jeep Cherokee has standard heated front seats, and you can upgrade to higher trims with ventilated seats as well. You’ll also be able to choose from cloth, vinyl, or Nappa leather-trimmed upholstery in the cabin’s interior.

Staying entertained is an important part of your commute, whether it’s listening to your favorite morning show on your way to work or jamming to a playlist on the long drive out to the campground. The 2022 Cherokee has the following standard infotainment features:

8.4-inch color touchscreen radio
Apple CarPlay®
Android Auto™

For an extra burst of convenience, you should go with a trim that includes the available hands-free, foot-activated power liftgate. If your hands are full, all you’ll have to do is wave your foot under the rear bumper and the trunk will open for you.

Safety and Security

Jeep Cherokee Safety Features

Of course, the most important features are the ones that help keep you and your family safe while on the road. The 2022 Jeep Cherokee has several standard safety and driver-assistance features to help you in your day-to-day driving. These include:

Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera
Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Path Detection

If you like, you can upgrade to a trim with the available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. To help reduce driver fatigue on long drives, simply set your speed to the posted limit and set the distance you want to maintain between you and the car ahead.

Your Cherokee will take care of the rest. Using radar, your SUV will stay with the flow of traffic, even come to a full stop and then get back up to speed as traffic dictates.
