Built on Stellantis’ new STLA Large platform, the all-new 2026 Jeep Cherokee is now hybrid-only. My how it's grown! Cherokee is aiming squarely at heavy hitters like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Sportage. With standard all-wheel drive, significantly improved fuel economy, and a smooth hybrid system, it’s clearly targeting mainstream buyers—not just off-road enthusiasts.
In this full review, I cover:
• Real-world driving impressions (on-road and light off-road)
• Hybrid performance and fuel economy (EPA-rated 37 MPG)
• Interior design, comfort, and Uconnect 5 tech
• Cargo space and practicality vs competitors
• What Jeep gets right—and where it still falls short
As always, this is a balanced look at the good and the not-so-good—so you can decide if the new Cherokee is worth your money.
👉 Watch on your biggest screen—this review is photography-forward.
