The Jeep Cherokee (KL) is a 5-door SUV from Jeep, built from 2013 to 2023, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 2.0 L FCA/FPT Multijet II common rail (turbo-diesel) I4. Greg Howell (2010) drew it.

The story

The Jeep Cherokee (KL) is a compact crossover SUV that was manufactured and marketed by the Jeep marque of Stellantis North America. Introduced for model year 2014 at the 2013 New York International Auto Show, sales began in November 2013. It occupies a position between the smaller Compass and the larger Grand Cherokee in Jeep's global lineup.

What is underneath

Power comes from 2.0 L FCA/FPT Multijet II common rail (turbo-diesel) I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 3655 -. It shifts through a 6-speed manual / 9-speed ZF 948TE automatic. The wheelbase is 106.3 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Its place in the line

Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Jeep Cherokee/Liberty (KK) / Dodge Nitro / Jeep Patriot (Russia); its successor was the Jeep Cherokee (KM); assembly was at Toledo, Ohio. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Infiniti Q50, the Mazda CX-5, the Tesla Model X — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Jeep catalogue sit the Jeep Wrangler (JK) and the Jeep Wrangler (TJ).

What it costs now

The money question first: $10,200–$32,900 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,107–$10,650 a year. Insurance sits around $1,120–$2,140 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
