Standard Features

2021 Jeep Cherokee Trim Levels Fletcher CDJR

The 2021 Jeep Cherokee has five main trim levels:

  • Latitude
  • Latitude Plus
  • Latitude LUX
  • Limited
  • Trailhawk

The base trim level of the Cherokee is the Jeep Cherokee Latitude. The 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine lies under the hood. It delivers 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. Plus, with a 9-speed automatic transmission at its side, it’ll deliver a smooth and capable ride.

Inside, there’s room for you and four of your friends. There’s 25.8 cubic feet of space for their gear in the cargo area. However, with the standard 60/40 split recline rear seat folded flat, you’ll have access to a grand total of 54.7 cubic feet of cargo space.

There’s plenty of standard technology too! The 7-inch touchscreen display is home to features that’ll keep you connected on the go. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration will keep you in touch with your favorite tunes and all the apps you love. Plus, the ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera gives you a look at what’s behind you when you’re in reverse, making parking even easier.

The Cherokee also sports a number of standard safety technologies to bring an extra layer of protection out on the road. These features include:

  • Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: Alerts you to an oncoming impact and can stop the vehicle
  • Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection Systems: Help you switch lanes and back out of areas with greater ease and awareness
  • LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist: Assists you in staying within the boundaries of your lane

Optional Features

When you upgrade to the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude LUX, you’ll enjoy the improved power of the 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine. It churns out 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. It also achieves this vehicle’s maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds when properly equipped.

Also available is a 2.0L Turbo engine, which can be found as an option on the Latitude LUX and some of the higher trim configurations. It produces 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. On the Latitude Plus and above, you’ll also find Push-Button Start to more easily get moving.

The Latitude Plus adds the advanced entertainment of SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, so you can listen to your favorite songs and talk shows. It’s also the first trim level to offer the available Alpine® Premium Sound System that gives you nine speakers and a subwoofer—a nice boost from the standard 6-speaker system.

On top of that, the Latitude LUX trim offers the available Uconnect® 4 with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display—a feature that becomes standard on the Limited and the Trailhawk trim levels. For an even more advanced upgrade, there’s the Uconnect® 4C NAV system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Available on the Limited and the Trailhawk, this system will give you more advanced navigational help.

In terms of driver and passenger comfort, the Latitude Plus trim adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and driver seat lumbar support. Upgrade to the Latitude LUX to find passenger seat lumbar support as well. For even more amenities, the Limited trim has available ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats.


Upgraded Off-Road Performance

The Trailhawk trim adds advanced off-roading capabilities to the 2021 Jeep Cherokee. The Active Drive II 4x4 system comes standard on this configuration. This feature monitors the road conditions and automatically engages 4-wheel drive when it’s needed. This will help ensure you have optimal grip in rain, snow, mud, or any other type of terrain.

This trim level also includes Selec-Speed® Control. It’s a low-speed cruise control that keeps you crawling forward, so you can focus on the tough terrain ahead.

Plus, the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, which is also available on other trim configurations when equipped with 4-wheel drive, has four main drive modes that fine-tune the capability of the Cherokee. These modes include SNOW for icy roads, SAND/MUD when you venture off the beaten path, and SPORT when you want more vigor. The Trailhawk trim adds an additional ROCK mode, which you won’t find on other levels.

Finally, the Trailhawk trim comes standard with Hill Descent Control, which activates when you’re going downhill. This system works to keep you moving at a consistent speed, so you can concentrate on getting down safely.


Jeep Cherokee Limited Edition Trim Levels

The 2021 Cherokee also features a few limited edition trim levels. These include:

  • Freedom
  • Altitude
  • 80th Anniversary
  • High Altitude

The Freedom trim is just above the base level and offers many of the same standard features listed above. The Altitude and the 80th Anniversary Edition are above the Latitude Plus and the Latitude LUX trim levels. The Altitude comes with the standard 2.4L engine, while the 80th Anniversary Edition features the V6 engine.

The High Altitude trim is the highest level and features much of what you’ll find on the Limited trim. It comes with some advanced standard amenities, like the Uconnect® 4C NAV system.
