"Handling is sharp and acceleration is superb."
Anonymous, OH (2019 Jeep Cherokee)"Acceleration"
Dale W., IN (2019 Jeep Cherokee)"The 4 cylinder, direct injection, 2.0 liter turbo engine performs flawlessly. It has outstanding acceleration yet gets an average of 26 mpg. Given the weight of the Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk, that is an excellent balance of fuel economy and acceleration."
Anonymous, NH (2019 Jeep Cherokee)"Quick acceleration, especially when merging with traffic. Excellent turning radius, Smooth handling. Quiet ride."
Anonymous, PA (2019 Jeep Cherokee)"Acceleration is outstanding. The trailer-tow package kicks the final drive ratio up a notch, (makes merging into traffic more fun). Handling is very satisfactory, quite confident."
Carroll P., MI (2019 Jeep Cherokee)"I have the new 2.0L turbo engine in my Cherokee. I am very satisfied with the power. I have towed a trailer with it several times and it was great. I am pretty satisfied with the all around fuel economy as well."
Paul S., MI (2019 Jeep Cherokee)"The new engine is outstanding it will amaze you the acceleration on the new 4 for 2019 will develop almost 300 hp gets out of the hole quickly"
Andrew C., MI (2019 Jeep Cherokee)"WITH TURBO ENGINE: Superb overall engine performance for this SUV; Can average 30-32+ mpg on highway driving; 28-30 mpg around town if not driven too aggressively or left idling when parked. Spirited acceleration from start; actually FAST; excellent, acceleration, transmission performance, passing, and hill climbing power. Actually SUPERB; using SPORT transmission mode ENHANCES all of the above. Can use regular, plus, or (for maximum performance, premium (recommended BUT NOT required) fuel. A sleeper of an engine for this vehicle. Handling also like my 2015 but 2019 feels even a bit flatter on turns; compliant over most bumps; comfortable seats. Will be my preferred vehicle to drive on long trips! C R should be TESTING THIS MODEL ASAP!"
