THE 2015 JEEP® CHEROKEE CONFIDENTLY MOVES YOU FORWARD WITH A UNIQUE EXPRESSION OF SUPREME
BEST-IN-CLASS1 AVAILABLE 4x4 CAPABILITY. THIS RESOURCEFULNESS IS FOUND ON CHEROKEE AND ITS
AVAILABLE 4x4 SYSTEMS, EACH ENGINEERED WITH AUTHENTIC JEEP BRAND DNA. CHEROKEE STANDS TALL
AS THE ONLY SUV IN ITS CLASS2 TO COME EQUIPPED WITH AN AVAILABLE REAR-AXLE DISCONNECT THAT
HELPS REDUCE ENERGY LOSS. EFFICIENCIES, GAINED WHEN YOU SWITCH FROM FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
TO TWO-WHEEL DRIVE, AND BACK AGAIN, ARE SEAMLESSLY AUTOMATIC.
No other SUV in its class1 offers the authentic
capability of a 4x4 Cherokee. Choose from three
powerful Jeep® 4x4 systems.
JEEP® ACTIVE DRIVE I
A fully automatic, single power transfer unit (PTU)
delivers seamless operation in and out of 4WD
at any speed. Yaw correction is automatic as well,
helping to keep Jeep Cherokee stable at all times.
Also it includes brake traction control that works
to maintain a balanced torque distribution, helping
this system deliver an easy-to-use all-weather
boost in capability.
JEEP ACTIVE DRIVE II
A two-speed PTU offers torque management
and 4-Low mode. This locks the front and rear
driveshafts to deliver additional power at low
speeds or for towing your toys. A driveline neutral
switch enables you to hitch Cherokee to your RV
and take it along for fun. Additionally, off-road
adventurers will benefit from a one-inch increase
in ride height and an incredible crawl ratio of 56:1
when paired with the 2.4L TigerShark® MultiAir®2
I-4 engine and a ratio of 48:1 when paired with the
available 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine. This allows
Cherokee to perform amazing feats of off-road
prowess, such as climbing steep hills and crawling
over boulders with ease.
TRAIL RATED® JEEP ACTIVE DRIVE LOCK
Includes everything in Jeep Active Drive II,
plus a locking rear differential, providing even
more capability and strength for severe off-road
conditions. Standard on all Jeep Cherokee
Tra ilhawk® models.

JEEP.COM
This species is designed to rise above. Jeep®
Cherokee Trailhawk® arrives with best-in-class1
4x4 capability, thanks to the standard Jeep
Active Drive Lock 4x4 system with a locking
rear differential. Trailhawk also includes
protective skid plates and signature Red tow
hooks — two in the front and one in the rear.
Trailhawk is equipped with Selec-Terrain,® the
Jeep brand’s renowned traction management
system that allows the driver to choose from
five customized traction modes: Auto, Snow,
Sport, Sand/Mud and Rock. Selec-Speed®
helps safely manage travel on steep inclines
or declines. A driveline neutral switch for
flat towing is also included.
Every Jeep vehicle bearing a Trail Rated®
badge is designed and built to “Go Anywhere,
Do Anything®” and perform with exceptional
4WD capability. It must successfully pass
five performance test categories:
TRACTION
Trail Rated traction helps maintain controlled
forward motion on snowy back roads and over
icy urban bridges, climb steep sand dunes
and master muddy two-tracks.
ARTICULATION
When one or more wheels are elevated, the
Jeep 4x4 system helps the other wheel(s)
maintain ground contact longer to help you
move steadily ahead. Suspensions enhance
off-road performance by maximizing flexibility,
axle articulation and wheel travel.
MANEUVERABILITY
Precision steering and optimized wheelbase
allow for expert navigation at all times.
GROUND CLEARANCE
Clear logs, rocks and uneven ground
thanks to optimal approach, departure
and breakover angles.

Additional electrical and body seals, plus
a high air-intake location, let you traverse
bodies of water up to 20 inches deep.

INCREDIBLE POWER TAKES YOU FAR
VALUE
2.4L TIGERSHARK® MULTIAIR®2 I - 4
When paired with the class-exclusive2
9-speed automatic transmission,
this engine has a driving range
of up to 490 miles per tank.* This
kind of value is rarely found on
vehicles as powerfully capable as
Cherokee. Acclaimed for its unique
and efficient valve-lift system, the
TigerShark MultiAir2 I-4 engine
incorporates a column of oil flow
that helps deliver precise control
of intake valve events.
EFFICIENCY
3.2L PENTASTAR® V6 ENGINE
Economies are gained with Stop/Start
technology that allows the Pentastar
engine to automatically shut off at
full stops, then re-engage during take-
offs. Transitions are smooth and all
but unnoticeable, but the efficiencies
gained at the pump will stand out.

LIMITED SHOWN I N DEEP CHE RRY RED CRYS TAL PEARL
2.4L TIGERSHARK® MULTIAIR®2 I-4 ENGINE
With its PZEV (Partial Zero Emission
Vehicle) rating, the TigerShark engine
burns clean and lean while delivering
a quiet and refined ride. Plus, for those
with dreams of heading for aggressive
off-road destinations, it takes its 184 hp
and 171 lb-ft of torque and crushes it down
to a boulder-pounding crawl ratio of 56:1
when paired with the available Jeep® Active
Drive Lock 4WD system on the Trail Rated®
Cherokee Trailhawk.
®
3.2L PENTASTAR® V6 ENGINE
This available workhorse is designed to
deliver the kind of power needed to tackle
off-road elements and support all-weather
travel on any terrain. Demanding drivers
will appreciate its 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of
torque — enough to reach a best-in-class1
towing power of up to 4,500 lb when
properly equipped. This engine’s pedigree
includes being named one of
Ward’s
“10 Best Engines” three years in a row.
BOTH CHEROKEE ENGINE OPTIONS DELIVER SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.

CLASS-EXCLUSIVE2 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
EXPERIENCE PERFORMANCE THAT’S BOTH POWERFUL AND REFINED. GEARSHIFTS
ARE ALL BUT IMPERCEPTIBLE. CHEROKEE’S 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DELIVERS A RIDE THAT’S EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH FOR A MID-SIZE SUV.
It’s the bridge uniting refined smooth travel
with a welcome, efficient performance. Cross
over to the next generation of mid-size SUV
travel with Jeep® Cherokee, bearing a classexclusive2 9-speed automatic transmission. This
finely wrought standard feature helps prove that
Cherokee was born to dominate its class with a
trifecta of strong performance marks in beauty,
efficiency and strength.
This Jeep engineered transmission is quickly
responsive upon acceleration, with smooth delivery
of power that easily transitions between all nine
gear ratios. A unique set of four overdrive ratios
help gain efficiencies while reducing overall
noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels.
Thus, economies are maximized and performance
is optimal at all times. You’re instantly attuned to
nearly any driving demand, both on- and off-road,
and gear changes are nearly imperceptible on
every terrain. If you’d rather shift manually,
Electronic Range Select with AutoStick function
defines the highest gear available, and includes
over 40 individual shift maps for specific driving
conditions. Standard.

Appropriate shift modes on Cherokee’s
standard 9-speed transmission are
determined by intelligent software that
monitors engine torque and kick-down,
acceleration and road/grade changes.
+
Cherokee’s body structure is 65 percent
high-strength steel which increases
torsional stiffness to help provide a strong,
lightweight and solid vehicle architecture.
+
Electronic power steering helps reduce
engine load, adding efficiency and
nimbleness with a tight 37.6-ft turn
circle (FWD model).

available Trailer Tow Group, you gain refined towing power with the engine’s
brawny 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque, plus an EPA estimated 28 hwy mpg.*
SELEC-SPEED® CONTROL
Pulling and pushing a full load requires control, especially when you’re tackling
off-road climbs and hill descents. Just press the Selec-Speed Control button to
engage an array of integrated systems that can help your vehicle maintain a target
speed of 1 to 5 mph while driving over obstacles and on uphill, level and downhill
surfaces. This lets you focus on steering while making sure you safely navigate the
road ahead. Standard on Cherokee Trailhawk.

INDEPENDENCE FORGES QUIET STRENGTH
Cherokee’s front and rear independent suspension
systems are designed with high-strength lightweight
steel and aluminum that help deliver a ride quietly
free of unwanted noise, vibration and harshness
(NVH). Nimble travel is achieved with the help of front
MacPherson struts, renowned for their strength
and stability. The overall design uses multiple load
support pathways, additionally increasing Cherokee’s
passive safety performance.
The Cherokee’s front suspension cradle is finetuned to help improve efficiency, thanks to
high-pressure die-cast aluminum construction.
The system’s stiff suspension cradle helps
inhibit road noise in the cabin, contributing
to Cherokee’s exceptionally quiet interior.
