  • Reliability (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Jeep's reliability can be mixed. While the Cherokee generally holds up well, some owners have reported minor electrical issues or transmission quirks. Regular maintenance is key.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are average for the segment. Parts are readily available, but specialized off-road components or repairs might be slightly more expensive than a standard SUV.
  • Technology (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The Uconnect infotainment system is user-friendly, responsive, and features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Available safety features are good, though some advanced ones might be optional.
  • Comfort (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The interior is reasonably comfortable for daily driving, with supportive seats. However, road noise can be noticeable at higher speeds, and the ride can be a bit firm due to the off-road suspension.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The Trailhawk trim offers impressive off-road capability with its advanced 4x4 system, lifted suspension, and all-terrain tires. On-road handling is decent for an SUV of its class, though not sporty.

2018 Jeep Cherokee

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee offers a compelling blend of everyday usability and genuine off-road capability, making it a versatile choice in the compact SUV segment. Building on Jeep's legacy, the Cherokee distinguishes itself with its distinct styling, potent engine options, and the availability of advanced 4x4 systems. For 2018, Jeep focused on refining the existing package, offering a well-rounded experience for those seeking an SUV that can handle more than just the daily commute.

Highlights

  • Engine Options: The 2018 Cherokee provided buyers with three distinct engine choices to suit their needs and preferences.
    • 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir2 I4: This standard engine offers a balance of efficiency and adequate power for daily driving. It's a good choice for buyers prioritizing fuel economy.
    • 3.2L Pentastar V6: This optional engine delivers a significant boost in power and torque, providing more robust acceleration and greater towing capability. It's ideal for those who frequently tow or desire a more spirited driving experience.
    • 2.0L Turbocharged I4: New for 2018, this turbocharged engine offered a compelling combination of power and improved fuel efficiency compared to the V6, producing healthy horsepower and torque figures.
  • Safety Features: Jeep equipped the 2018 Cherokee with a suite of advanced safety and driver-assist technologies, aiming to enhance occupant protection and driver confidence.
    • ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera: Standard on all models, this camera provides a clear view of what's behind the vehicle, assisting with safe parking and reversing.
    • Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Path Detection: These available systems alert the driver to vehicles in their blind spots or approaching from the sides when reversing, helping to prevent collisions.
    • LaneSense Lane Departure Warning-Plus: This system can detect when the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane and can provide subtle steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered.
    • Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: This advanced system monitors the distance to the vehicle ahead and can automatically apply the brakes if a frontal collision is deemed imminent, helping to mitigate or avoid accidents.
    • Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go: Available on higher trims, this system maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead and can automatically adjust speed, even bringing the vehicle to a complete stop and then resuming, making highway driving more relaxed.
  • Trim Summary: The 2018 Jeep Cherokee was available in a range of well-defined trims, each offering a distinct level of features and capability:
    • Latitude: The entry-level trim, providing a solid foundation of comfort and convenience features.
    • Latitude Plus: Offers a step up in interior amenities and technology over the base Latitude.
    • Limited: Represents a more premium experience with enhanced comfort, technology, and styling elements.
    • Trailhawk: The most rugged and off-road-oriented trim, featuring enhanced 4x4 systems, increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and unique styling cues.
  • Jeep Active Drive 4x4 Systems: The Cherokee's hallmark is its sophisticated four-wheel-drive capabilities. Jeep offered multiple versions, including Active Drive I (a single-speed transfer case) and Active Drive II (a two-speed transfer case with low-range gearing for more serious off-roading), along with the Selec-Terrain traction management system that allows drivers to choose from various terrain modes (Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud, and Rock for Trailhawk) to optimize performance.

What to Expect

Owning a 2018 Jeep Cherokee typically involves a reliable and engaging experience, especially for those who value its off-road prowess. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring its longevity and performance. This includes routine oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks as outlined in the owner's manual. Given its Jeep heritage, some owners might find maintenance costs to be slightly higher than the average compact SUV, particularly if opting for more specialized off-road components or services.

Insurance costs for the 2018 Cherokee will vary depending on individual factors such as driving record, location, and chosen coverage levels. However, it generally falls within the typical range for compact SUVs, with higher trims or models equipped with more advanced safety features potentially influencing premiums.

The driving experience is a blend of comfortable cruising on the highway and capable performance when the pavement ends. The ride is generally composed, and the available V6 and turbocharged engines provide ample power for overtaking and merging. For off-road enthusiasts, the Trailhawk model, with its dedicated 4x4 system and higher ground clearance, offers a genuine adventure-ready experience.

Potential Considerations

While the 2018 Jeep Cherokee is a capable and appealing SUV, there are a few potential considerations buyers should be aware of. Some critics and owners have noted that the interior can feel a bit dated compared to some newer competitors, with some hard plastics present in certain areas. Fuel economy, especially with the V6 engine and 4x4 systems, might not be class-leading, though the introduction of the 2.0L turbo aimed to address this. Additionally, the ride can be a bit firm for some, particularly on rougher road surfaces, though this is often a trade-off for its off-road capabilities.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee stands out as a highly competent compact SUV that successfully balances everyday usability with impressive off-road credentials. Its range of capable powertrains, advanced 4x4 systems, and a comprehensive suite of available safety features make it a strong contender for buyers seeking versatility. While its interior design might not be the most cutting-edge and fuel economy can be a consideration, the Cherokee's distinctive style and its ability to tackle more than just urban environments solidify its position as a unique and desirable option in its class.
