2014 Jeep Cherokee

America’s off-road specialist Jeep has unveiled the first photos of the 2014 Cherokee – resurrecting one of its most famous model names with plenty of new bells and whistles to meet modern demand. Sporting a more streamlined and futuristic look than its boxier predecessor, the Cherokee is built on the same platform as the Dodge Dart compact. Automotive News has previously reported that the Cherokee would be powered by a 3.2-liter V6 engine based on Chrysler’s 3.6-liter Pentastar engine, as well as an all-new nine-speed front-wheel-drive automatic transmission designed by ZF Friedrichshafen. The automaker released few other details but consumers can expect the Cherokee arriving in dealerships in the third quarter.
