The Jeep Cherokee Hybrid is a new addition to the Jeep family, marking a significant milestone as the first Jeep to feature Stellantis’ brand-new hybrid setup. This innovative powertrain combines a 1.6-liter turbo-petrol engine with two electric motors, producing 213 horsepower and 312Nm of torque. The result is a vehicle that boasts an impressive range of over 800 km on a single tank, making it perfect for long road trips without the need for frequent fuel stops.
True to Jeep’s heritage, the Cherokee Hybrid remains trail-ready, with a ground clearance of 203mm, approach angle of 19.6°, departure angle of 29.4°, and breakover angle of 18.8°. The Active Drive 4×4 system comes standard, with drive modes for Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud, ensuring that the vehicle can handle various terrain with ease.
Inside the cabin, the Cherokee Hybrid strikes a balance between toughness and comfort. The standard black interior is purposeful, while optional white upholstery is available for a more premium feel. The vehicle features a 10.25-inch digital driver display and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, running Jeep’s latest Uconnect 5 software. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, keyless entry, auto wipers, and connected features are standard across all trims.
Safety features are also plentiful, with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) providing features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The Cherokee Hybrid is set to arrive in US showrooms in late 2025, with the Limited and Overland trims available first, followed by the base Cherokee and Laredo in early 2026. Unfortunately, there are no plans to launch the vehicle in India at present.
The new Cherokee Hybrid represents a significant evolution for the Jeep brand, combining traditional values with modern technology. It retains the adventurous spirit of its predecessors while incorporating clever new features and improved efficiency. For Jeep fans in the US, the Cherokee Hybrid promises to deliver a unique driving experience, with every journey becoming a story worth telling. With its impressive capabilities, both on and off the road, the Cherokee Hybrid is an exciting addition to the Jeep family.
