2019 Jeep Cherokee - New Turbo 2.0-liter Engine. We drove two Cherokees, both in the popular Latitude Plus trim level, one with the proven 3.2-liter V-6—a rarity in this segment—and the other with the new twin-scroll turbocharged 2.0-liter four. (The carryover base engine is a SOHC 2.4-liter that makes 180 horsepower and 170 lb-ft.) Both vehicles were equipped with Jeep’s Active Drive I all-wheel-drive system and 17-inch wheels and tires. The turbo 2.0-liter trails the V-6 by one horsepower (270 hp at 5250 rpm, versus 271 hp at 6500) but out-torques the bigger naturally aspirated six by 56 lb-ft (295 versus 239). Official EPA fuel-economy estimates are pending, but Jeep claims that the turbo 2.0-liter (a $500 option above the V-6, available in all but the base Latitude models) consumes less fuel. As it turns out, Jeep says 2.0-liter-equipped Trailhawk models weigh 10 pounds more than V-6-powered Trailhawks, which in turn weigh 100 pounds less than last year’s version.
