Rented a 2020 Cherokee Limited recently. It was my first time ever driving a Jeep vehicle.
PROS:
- Nice interior. Materials felt soft and well put together.
- Amazing LED headlights.
- Decent storage space.
- UConnect system was responsive.
- Smooth suspension.
- Firm brake pedal with little travel.
CONS:
- The 2.4L 4-cyl is an embarrassment. It is super slow and sounds like a clogged vacuum cleaner.
- The 9-speed auto is clunky and hangs in random gears.
- Cruise control would drop 5 mph when going up even slight grades.
- Automatic start/stop was terrible. I turned it off each time I got in the car.
- Too much body roll.
- A/C was cold but the automatic climate control loved to blow on the feet and less on the face.
- Wind noise/whistling through the door seals.
- Above 70 mph, there was a rumbling/roaring from the tires. Sounded almost like a bad wheel bearing.
- Dead & numb steering feel.
Overall, this car is just okay. It doesn't really do anything excellently. In such a competitive segment, I feel like there are better choices available.
