The 2026 Jeep® Cherokee is an all-new midsize SUV built on a hybrid platform, and it comes in four trims that share a common foundation while each stepping up in a meaningful way. Understanding what's in each one makes the decision straightforward. Here's the breakdown from the team at Lester Glenn Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM in Toms River, NJ.
Cherokee 4x4
The base Cherokee 4x4 trim establishes everything that carries through the entire lineup. Under the hood is a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an HEV system and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, producing 210 combined horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. You also get solid towing, with a maximum capacity of up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.
Active Drive I® 4x4 with Selec-Terrain® traction management (Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud modes) comes standard on every trim, as does a 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a wireless charging pad, LED headlamps, and heated front seats. Every Jeep Cherokee also includes forward collision warning with active braking, adaptive cruise control, LaneSense® lane departure warning, and a ParkView® rear backup camera as standard safety equipment. The Jeep Cherokee 4x4 trim rides on 17-inch satin carbon cast aluminum wheels.
Laredo
The Laredo trim adds the kind of everyday conveniences that make a real difference once you're living with your new Jeep SUV. A remote start system, power liftgate for hands-free cargo access, and a universal garage door opener are the headline additions, along with upgraded exterior styling touches and an enhanced audio configuration.
Limited
The Limited trim is where the 2026 Jeep Cherokee cabin starts to feel genuinely upscale. Seating surfaces step up to perforated Capri leatherette, the driver gets memory settings for the seat and mirrors, and a heated steering wheel joins heated rear seats for full-cabin warmth on cold New Jersey mornings. A nine-speaker Alpine® premium audio system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and an upgrade to 18-inch painted diamond-cut aluminum wheels round out the Limited's most meaningful additions over the Laredo trim.
Overland
The Overland trim is the 2026 Jeep Cherokee at its most refined. Nappa leather seating with ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats sets the tone, and a standard dual-pane panoramic sunroof opens up the cabin in a way no other trim can match. A 360-degree surround-view camera system, ParkSense® front and rear park assist, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and 20-inch painted diamond-cut aluminum wheels complete the Overland picture.
