Used 2020 Jeep Cherokee SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee is a small crossover SUV offered in five main trim levels: Latitude, Latitude Plus, Limited, Trailhawk, and Overland.

Standard on the Cherokee is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. You can also get an optional 3.2-liter V6 (271 hp and 239 lb-ft) or a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (270 hp and 295 lb-ft). A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard with all engines. The Trailhawk is all-wheel-drive only, and all other trims are available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Standard equipment highlights for the Latitude include 17-inch wheels, automatic LED headlights, 60/40-split folding rear seatback, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, two USB ports, a 7-inch touchscreen, and a six-speaker audio system. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also standard.

The Latitude Plus trim adds simulated-leather inserts in the upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. Satellite radio is standard, along with an extra USB port, a blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, and passive keyless entry with push-button starting. Options for the Latitude Plus include an auxiliary household power outlet, dual-zone climate control, a power liftgate, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and remote start.

The Limited trim includes most of the Latitude's options plus leather upholstery, an upgraded driver display in the gauge cluster, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a nine-speaker audio system..

The range-topping Overland comes standard with unique body-colored exterior trim, sound-deadening windshield and front windows, driver-seat memory functions, wood inserts, upgraded leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a navigation system, and HD radio. Many of the items from the upper trim levels are available on lower trim levels either as packages or stand-alone items.

The off-road-themed Trailhawk comes with similar equipment to the Limited trim level plus an advanced all-wheel-drive system (Active Drive II with Active Drive Lock). It also boasts wider wheels and all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, off-road-oriented suspension tuning, a locking rear differential, hill ascent and descent control, skid plates, tow hooks, and unique upholstery.

The more advanced Active Drive II AWD system from the Trailhawk is available as an optional extra on AWD-equipped Latitude Plus, Limited and Overland Cherokees.

An available Trailer Tow package adds a stand-alone transmission cooler, Class III hitch, a trailer wiring harness for both four- and seven-pin systems, and a full-size spare tire. Versions with the V6 or turbocharged four-cylinder also receive additional engine cooling.

The Technology group package — offered on the Limited, Trailhawk and Overland trims — adds full-speed forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, traffic-adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic wipers, automatic high-beam headlights, and an automatic parking system that works on both parallel and perpendicular spots.

Which Cherokee trim does Edmunds recommend?

Our favorite Cherokee is the Trailhawk trim level. It offers an appealing combination of standard equipment and serious off-road capability. With the Trailhawk, you get the 3.2-liter V6 as standard, but we recommend upgrading to the optional 2.0-liter turbocharged engine for more power and better fuel economy. But if you're just in it for the bigger touchscreen and some heated seats — and you don't need the Trailhawk's sophisticated all-wheel-drive system or off-roady bits — we also recommend the Limited trim level, which is similarly equipped.
