Jeep Cherokee has returned to the Australian market with a new model that features Jeep all-terrain ability, improved
fuel economy, enhanced on-road ride and handling, more than 65 safety and security features and progressive interior and
exterior design.
The new KL model, which follows the XJ, KJ and KK Cherokee models, also brings numerous firsts and best-in-class
features.
It is the first mid-size SUV on the market to offer three advanced, class-leading four-wheel-drive systems with one-
or two-speed power transfer units: Jeep Active Drive I, Jeep Active Drive II and Jeep Active Drive Lock. All
four-wheel-drive systems feature rear-axle disconnect, which activates when four-wheel-drive capability is not required
and reduces energy loss and improves fuel efficiency. This is a first in the automotive industry.
KL Jeep Cherokee is also unique in its segment in offering a nine-speed automatic transmission, which provides fuel
efficiency gains, refined shifting and enhanced on and off road driving performance.
Four models are available from launch: Sport, Longitude, Limited and Trailhawk with two powertrains that are new to
the Cherokee line: the 2.4-litre TigerShark l-4 and the 3.2-litre V6 Pentastar.
“The all-new Jeep Cherokee will be the benchmark for mid-size SUVs with a new level of on-road driving dynamics and
fuel economy, while at the same time improving the 4x4 capability that customers expect from Jeep,” said Mike Manley,
President and CEO – Jeep Brand.

“Jeep Cherokee boasts a new design, a nine-speed automatic transmission and two advanced engines, class-leading
capability from three innovative 4x4 systems, more than 70 safety features, and a host of new technology features.”
The TigerShark engine, which is fitted exclusively to the two-wheel-drive Sport model, helps Cherokee deliver a 33 per
cent improvement in fuel economy over the outgoing model while delivering 130kW of power and 229Nm of torque.
The 3.2-litre V6 Pentastar provides 200kW and 316Nm of torque but with a 20 per cent improvement in fuel economy over
its predecessor.
Jeep’s renowned Selec-Terrain system makes its first appearance on Cherokee, fitted on the four-wheel-drive equipped
Longitude, Limited and Trailhawk Cherokee models. There are up to five modes to provide optimal traction for specific
conditions: Auto, Snow, Sand/Mud, Sport and Rock. Cherokee provides enhanced handling and improved road manners thanks to
a new body structure, more than 65 per cent of which is fashioned from high-strength steel. This delivers new levels of
torsional stiffness.
It also has new front and rear independent suspension systems, and all models are equipped with frequency-sensitive
damping shock absorbers that automatically adjust to input from the road. Its speed-sensitive electronic power steering
system also automatically adjusts for limited effort during parking or increased steering effort on the open road.
An enhanced aerodynamic package contributes to improved fuel economy, smooth on-road dynamics and NVH properties.
Advanced styling in and out complement KL Cherokee’s advanced powertrains, with a cutting-edge exterior design
characterised by its slimline daytime running lights and a new take on the 'signature' seven slot grille. The interior
features advanced design, world class fit and finish and numerous storage and convenience options.
Multiple trim levels and colour choices allow customers to personalise Cherokee to their taste. All models come with a
centre stack mounted Uconnect multimedia touch screen to control the vehicle’s functions and systems, 12.7 centimetre
(5.0-inch) on Sport and Longitude and 21.3 centimetre (8.4-inch) on other models.
An available seven-inch full-colour LED reconfigurable instrument cluster allows the driver to receive information and
feedback in their preferred format and display elements such as real-time fuel economy, driveline information and
turn-by-turn navigation. Cherokee features Jeep’s newly-designed corporate steering wheel, which includes Electronic
Vehicle Information Centre (EVIC) audio, voice and speed controls.
KL Cherokee’s safety systems include options that are new to mid-size Jeep SUVs: Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear
Crosspath Detection, Forward Collision Warning Plus, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning Plus, and reversing camera dynamic
grid lines.
It is also the first Chrysler Group vehicle to feature the optional ParkSense Active Park Assist System, which
automatically steers the vehicle into parallel and perpendicular parking spaces (optional on Limited and Trailhawk models
only).
Cherokee’s 7 standard airbags include front & rear side-curtain airbags and front seat-mounted side airbags.
Fiat Chrysler Group President and CEO Veronica Johns said all-new Cherokee would provide Australian customers with a
new and compelling choice that also set new standards for its mid-size SUV rivals.
“Cherokee is one of the most anticipated vehicles to enter the Australian market this year, bringing unmatched
all-terrain capability, the segment’s first nine-speed automatic transmission and bold, distinctive styling,” Ms
Johns said.
“The Cherokee line-up will cater to all types of customers, from the city commuter who appreciates technology and
comfort to the serious off-road enthusiast who demands dependable capability that only a Jeep can deliver”.
All-new Jeep Cherokee is now on sale in Jeep dealers across Australia.
