Whether you are navigating the historic neighborhoods of a lively college town or heading out for a quiet weekend, the Cherokee Latitude Lux is designed to elevate every mile of your journey with a premium feel that doesn't compromise on its adventurous roots.

This Jeep Cherokee is perfectly suited for the long stretches of highway connecting our local communities, offering a refined driving experience that feels just as at home on a paved city street as it does on a rural county road.

Performance and Pentastar Capability

Under the hood of this 2022 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux 4x4 lies the proven Pentastar 3.2L V-6 DOHC engine, delivering a robust 271HP. This powerplant is paired with a TorqueFlite 9-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth power delivery whether you are merging onto the interstate or cruising through the scenic farmlands near Taylorville, IL. The inclusion of the Jeep Active Drive I automatic full-time 4WD system provides peace of mind during unpredictable Illinois winters, automatically engaging four-wheel drive when traction loss is detected. To further tailor your driving experience, the selectable driver-selectable drivetrain modes allow you to optimize performance based on the specific conditions of the road ahead.

The mechanical integrity of this Cherokee is bolstered by a Normal Duty Suspension featuring a Strut Front Suspension with Coil Springs and a Multi-Link Rear Suspension. This independent setup ensures that even when the pavement gets rough, the cabin remains steady and comfortable. Efficiency is managed through an auto stop-start engine feature, helping to conserve fuel during frequent stops in town, while the 15.8-gallon fuel tank provides ample range for cross-county trips. Additional heavy-duty components like the engine oil cooler and transmission fluid temperature gauge work behind the scenes to maintain optimal operating conditions, reflecting Jeep's commitment to long-term durability and performance.

Modern Technology and Seamless Connectivity

Staying connected while on the move is effortless thanks to the Uconnect 4 Radio system, which features a prominent 8.4-inch primary touchscreen display. This interface serves as the command center for your digital life, offering seamless smart device integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Whether you are streaming your favorite playlist via Bluetooth or using voice-activated audio controls to make a hands-free call, the technology is intuitive and responsive. The driver is also treated to a 7.0-inch gauge cluster display, providing a clear digital and analog instrumentation view of vital vehicle information at a glance.

The Cherokee is equipped with four USB ports and an auxiliary audio input jack, ensuring that everyone's devices stay charged and connected during the drive. For those who value high-tech convenience, the smart key with hands-free access and push-button start allows you to keep your keys in your pocket while entering and starting the vehicle. The integrated roof antenna ensures clear reception for the AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio, which sounds excellent through the six-speaker audio system. This suite of technology ensures that your commute through the rolling plains of Central Illinois is as entertaining as it is efficient.

Premium Comfort and Interior Refinement

The interior of the Latitude Lux trim is a testament to Jeep's focus on premium materials and driver comfort. The cabin features Black leather front seat upholstery and premium leather-trimmed bucket seats that provide both support and sophistication. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy 8-way power-adjustable seats, including 2-way power lumbar support, allowing for a perfectly tailored seating position. On chilly Midwestern mornings, the heated front seats and the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel offer immediate warmth, while the dual-zone front automatic climate control ensures both the driver and passenger stay at their preferred temperature.

Practicality is woven into the luxury, with 60-40 folding split-bench rear seats that include a manual recline feature for passenger comfort. The interior is accented with Liquid Titanium door trim appliques and chrome/metal-look accents, creating a modern and cohesive aesthetic. For power on the go, the Cherokee provides three 12V DC power outlets and a convenient 120V AC power outlet, perfect for charging larger electronics. Storage is plentiful with a mini overhead console, cargo area concealed storage, and a front center armrest with covered storage, making it easy to keep the cabin organized during daily errands or longer road trips.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is a paramount consideration in the 2022 Jeep Cherokee, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. The Blind Spot Detection system and Cross Path Detection provide an extra set of eyes when changing lanes or backing out of tight parking spaces. For forward-thinking protection, the Forward Collision Warning-Plus system can alert the driver to potential impacts and even initiate mitigation measures if necessary. Parking is made simple with the ParkView back-up camera and ParkSense with Stop rear parking sensors, which help you navigate obstacles with confidence.

The vehicles structural safety is supported by a total of 10 airbags, including curtain first and second-row airbags and knee airbags for both the driver and passenger. Electronic stability control with anti-roll and all-speed ABS and driveline traction control work together to maintain vehicle composure in adverse conditions. Furthermore, the Lane Departure Warning-Plus system helps keep you centered during long drives on the highway. With features like Hill Hold Control and an electric parking brake, the Cherokee is designed to provide a secure and stable driving environment for you and your passengers.

Exterior Design and Functional Style

The exterior of the 2022 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux 4x4 is finished in a crisp Bright White Clearcoat, a color that highlights its modern lines and athletic stance. The front end is defined by the iconic black grille with a chrome surround and projector-beam LED low and high-beam daytime running headlamps. LED front fog lights and cornering lights improve visibility during nighttime driving or in the foggy conditions often found near the Sangamon River. The vehicle sits on 17-inch painted aluminum wheels with silver accents, wrapped in all-season tires that are ready for any weather Illinois throws your way.

Functional design elements abound, including roof rails for additional cargo carrying capacity and deep-tinted glass for privacy and UV protection. The black bodyside cladding and fender flares provide a rugged touch while protecting the paint from road debris. Active grille shutters help optimize aerodynamics and engine cooling, while the rear features a lip spoiler and a stainless steel quasi-dual exhaust with chrome tips for a touch of sportiness.
