cherokeeKids will love the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. Apart from its attractive looks, it offers superior off-road performance, a comfortable cabin, and plenty of modern tech.

Excellent Off-Road Capability

If you want to spoil your kids, take them on an off-road trip. Proudly boasting Jeep’s Trail Rated badge, the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is just the right vehicle for such an adventure, as it is specifically designed for off-roading.

This super-tough SUV offers superior traction with three available four-wheel drive systems: the Jeep Active Drive I system, offering a rear axle disconnect feature that is only engaged when improved efficiency is required; a Jeep Active Drive II system, which adds a low range and Neutral mode; and a Jeep Active Drive Lock system that features a Rock Mode and a mechanical rear axle lock.

All Trailhawks feature the Jeep Selec-Terrain Management system that comes with five selectable modes — Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand/Mud, and available Rock — that will enable you to navigate any terrain that might come your way. This off-road-ready SUV also boasts additional electrical and body sealing, as well as a high air intake, which will allow you to drive through watery areas.

Plenty of Personal and Cargo Space

If you have more than one kid, you’ll understand how important it is to have a spacious cabin to keep the peace during long road trips. Kids also take up lots of cargo space with bikes, toys, and sports gear, especially if you’re heading out on vacation. The Jeep Cherokee offers ample passenger space, with an available sliding rear seat providing extra legroom to backseat passengers if required.

The cargo area is both large and flexible. If you need to lug your kid’s kayak around, just fold down the 60/40 split-folding rear seat. Extra storage space is provided throughout the cabin, including a cargo net, cellphone holder, and a hidden load floor.

If you opt for the 3.2-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, your Cherokee will be able to tow up to 4,500 pounds, so you can tow anything from a heavy trailer to an RV to a boat. In order to tow your vehicle behind an RV, you can opt for an available Flat Tow Wiring Kit if your Cherokee is equipped with either the Active Drive II or Active Drive Lock four-wheel drive systems.

Modern Tech

Kids will love all the modern tech featured with the Jeep Cherokee. The standard Uconnect infotainment system offers all the bells and whistles, including a 7-inch display screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, Bluetooth, and integrated voice command with Siri. An upgraded version of this system offers an 8.4-inch screen, SiriusXM, navigation, and off-road pages. The Cherokee also features a media hub with two USB ports, additional auxiliary ports, and 12-volt charging capability, and a passenger media hub is also included.

The available Alpine Premium Sound system that offers a 12-channel 506-watt amplifier, nine speakers, and an 8-inch subwoofer will entertain the kids with a superior sound experience.

If you want to keep your kids happy, spoil them with a road trip or off-roading venture in a 2019 Jeep Cherokee. If you want to take one for a spin first, drop by a Rodeo car dealership.
