Let’s get something straight right away: The Jeep Cherokee is not a Wrangler. Nor does it want to be. Yes, the Wrangler will take you to off-road nirvana, but try a 4-hour road trip and report back.
The ’14 Jeep Cherokee, with its fetching interior, pleasant on-road demeanor and available trail-ready drivetrain, is the ideal vehicle for the consumers – and we know there are many – who want a Jeep for its brand image and because it feels good on dirt roads and in the snow and driving across expanses of green grass that serve as makeshift parking lots during the summertime festival season.
