Cherokee is the \u201cmost 4\u00d74-capable Grand Cherokee ever\u201d thanks to new features and an \u201caward-winning\u201d V6 powerplant.<\/p>\n<p>The Cherokee is fitted with a 3.6-litre, naturally-aspirated engine \u2013 generating 218kW and 352Nm, and it\u2019s mated to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p>Around 90% of the torque is available from 1,800rpm all the way up to 6,400rpm for smoother towing up to a maximum of 2,812kg, and an engine start-stop system is now integrated for additional fuel savings, netting it a combined consumption figure of 10.6l\/100km, said TopAuto.<\/p>\n<p>The entire line-up gets the Selec-Terrain traction management programme with Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud\/Sand modes.<\/p>\n<p><a
