When the latest generation of the Jeep Cherokee was launched in 2013, it came in for a lot of stick because of the way it looked. We didn\u2019t mind it, to be honest \u2013 especially in Trailhawk trim<\/a> \u2013 but apparently going a little too \u2018out there\u2019 with your styling will earn you as much negative feedback as positive.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the Cherokee has now been facelifted, and it\u2019s a much more palatable package. There\u2019s an all-new front fascia, hood, LED headlamps, and grille. It\u2019s still a Jeep Cherokee, but it\u2019s sort of grown up.<\/p>\n

The thing is, the updates are more than skin-deep, as Jeep\u2019s mid-size SUV is soon to sport a new selection of engines, and has had its interior updated, too.<\/p>\n

First, the engines. There\u2019s a brand-new 2.0-litre four cylinder that develops 270 bhp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Jeep claims it\u2019s \u201cone of the most technologically advanced engines in the automotive industry\u201d. Right. Basically, it\u2019s full of tech that increases responsiveness and reduces emissions and fuel consumption.<\/p>\n

Indeed, this engine is so good that it really outshines the existing (and still available) 3.2-litre Pentastar V6, which delivers 271 bhp and 239 lb-ft of torque. Though, if you want to tow things, this\u2019ll be engine to opt for, as it delivers \u201cbest-in-class\u201d towing capacity of over two tonnes.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, there\u2019s a smaller 2.4-litre that delivers 180 bhp. No word yet on which engines will be available in the Middle East, but we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see all three.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the new Cherokee comes with updated off-road systems, including a low-range gearing option and mechanical locking rear differential. The nine-speed automatic gearbox has also been updated so that it\u2019s smoother on the road, and delivers grunt when you\u2019re off it. Really, in this class, the Cherokee should still retain its crown as the off-road Daddy.<\/p>\n

You also get a new UConnect infotainment system, which provides all the standard stuff you\u2019d expect on a new car. Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 360-degree cameras \u2013 all of that stuff is included. And a proper screen comes as standard on all models \u2013 just the more expensive one comes with a bigger touch screen.<\/p>\n

So, a worthy update. What do you think, Internet?<\/p>\n
