jeep cherokee review australia

The Jeep Cherokee is the SUV for folks who fancy a bit of bush-bashing on Saturday and a school run on Monday, with a side of attitude. Trailhawk variants actually walk the walk off-road, while lesser trims settle into comfy suburb duty—but that nine-speed auto can still feel like it’s playing 52-card pickup. Expect the petrols to be thirsty around town, and cabin tech now feels a generation behind the slick Koreans. When new in Australia it typically landed in the mid-to-high $40k–$50k range; today, used examples span roughly $10k–$35k depending on year, trim, and kilometres.

Pros: capable Trailhawk hardware, cushy ride, proper towing manners for its size. Cons: fuel consumption, patchy reliability history (early transmission/electronics niggles), and resale that drops faster than your phone signal at a campsite. If you’re shopping, a thorough service history is non-negotiable and a long test drive is your best friend—then go trawling Tradingpost for the right spec at the right price.
