Jeep Cherokee: Standard & Available Engines

2021 Jeep Cherokee RedWhen looking at a vehicle’s fuel efficiency, it’s important to consider the engine. The 2021 Jeep Cherokee offers one standard and two available powertrains, so you can choose the one that’s best suited to your driving needs:

  • 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque
  • 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine that generates 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque
  • 2.0L Turbo engine that produces 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque

Each engine option gives you plenty of power, so you can tackle your long commutes and weekend road trips with confidence.

Plus, these powertrains are paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, helping to ensure you’re treated to a smooth driving experience every time you get behind the wheel.

2021 Jeep Cherokee Red Silver StreamNo matter which powertrain you choose, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee is well-equipped to make your next journey a success. Each of the three engine options is a fuel-efficient choice. However, their gas mileage ratings vary slightly.

For example, the standard 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine has an EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway MPG. Whether you need your SUV for your commutes, road trips, errand runs, or all three, this powertrain will keep you on the road for longer.

The available 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine is slightly less fuel-efficient. However, it can still achieve an EPA-estimated 20 city/29 highway MPG. If you spend most of your time driving on the highway, this powerful engine may be the best choice for you.

For the most fuel-efficient driving experience, the available 2.0L Turbo engine maintains an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG. This helps limit your need to stop and refuel during your next adventure.


Jeep Cherokee: Fuel-Saving Technology

2021 Jeep Cherokee WoodsEach engine in the 2021 Jeep Cherokee lineup is designed with fuel efficiency in mind. All three powertrains come with advanced technology and features that help to keep you on the road for longer.

The standard 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine, for example, has Engine Stop/Start technology, Variable Valve Timing, and a flow-control valve intake manifold. Plus, this powertrain has a driving range of over 474 highway miles on one tank.

The available 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine also comes with Engine Stop/Start technology that can turn the engine off when your SUV comes to a stop. This helps save fuel and gives the Jeep Cherokee good gas mileage ratings.

Like the other two powertrains, the available 2.0L Turbo engine includes Engine Stop/Start technology. Additionally, this engine incorporates direct injection, helping to improve its fuel efficiency even further.


2021 Jeep Cherokee: Fuel-Efficient Design

For example, the Jeep Cherokee has the following exterior measurements:

  • Length: 182 inches
  • Width: 73.2 inches
  • Height: 65.7 inches

These measurements help to create a fuel-efficient vehicle that maximizes your fuel economy rating every time you hit the road.

Additionally, the Jeep Cherokee has a curb weight of 3,590 pounds. Along with its other dimensions and the previously discussed fuel-saving features, this helps to contribute to its excellent fuel economy ratings.


Jeep Cherokee: Fuel-Saving Tips & Tricks

Foot BrakingWhile the various engine options offered with the 2021 Jeep Cherokee are already fuel efficient, there are several steps you can take to ensure your SUV saves fuel whenever you get behind the wheel.

For example, avoid driving during rush hour, as continuously stopping and starting as you drive increases fuel consumption. When you drive on the highway, try to maintain a consistent speed or use cruise control to save fuel.

You should also remove unnecessary items from your cabin or cargo area, as they make your vehicle heavier and can reduce its fuel efficiency. During cooler summer days, you may also want to turn the air conditioning off and roll down your windows to save energy.

Additionally, following your vehicle’s recommended service schedule ensures more efficient performance. For example, having fresh, clean oil is essential, as it helps your SUV run smoothly and can therefore help it achieve its optimal gas mileage.
