Jeep Cherokee 2026 : motorisation et puissance

Unlike the previous generation Jeep Cherokee, the 2026 SUV will be equipped with an entirely new hybrid system.

As noted by Micky Bly, Senior Vice President of Stellantis: "The new 1.6-litre hybrid engine is a major step forward in delivering both performance and efficiency for our customers. Over millions of miles of development and testing, we've dialled in this new hybrid powertrain to deliver all the performance you need for your daily adventures, with electrified torque and worry-free range wherever the road takes you."

In concrete terms, here are the specifications for this new powertrain:

In short, the new innovative hybrid system promises excellent performance and an extended range.

2026 Jeep Cherokee: Dimensions and Cargo Space

The dimensions of the new 2026 Jeep Cherokee have not yet been revealed, but it is already known that it will fill the gap between the Jeep Compass and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Furthermore, cargo volume will expand from 951 to 1,934 litres, representing a 30% increase compared to the previous generation Cherokee.

2026 Jeep Cherokee: Exterior and Interior Design

For the new model year, the Jeep Cherokee showcases an updated exterior design that reflects the past 50 years of the SUV's legacy while remaining modern and contemporary. In essence, it draws inspiration from its heritage and innovates for the future.

Although we do not yet know the exact dimensions of the Jeep vehicle, it appears to be longer, taller, and wider than the previous Cherokee generation.

The front end of the new 2026 Cherokee features a redesigned, square LED headlamps and daytime running lights that form a unique U-shape. The design of the taillights is very trendy and gives the SUV a fresh and modern signature. Finally, the seven-slot radiator grille is iconic of the Jeep DNA.

Inside the midsize SUV, the attention to detail, quality of the materials, and a more spacious cockpit compared to the old Cherokee are immediately noticeable.

Furthermore, the manufacturer has focused on sustainability with features such as leather-free materials and recycled floor mats.

Additionally, the increased length of the vehicle translates into improved rear passenger space and a more accommodating cargo area.

Benoît Charrette, in L'Annuel de l'automobile 2026, also describes the interior of the SUV as follows:

"Noise insulation should also be enhanced thanks to the STLA platform. Heated seats and steering wheel, dual-zone automatic air-conditioning, ventilated seats; all of this will likely be offered depending on the trim. Upgraded materials, more comfortable seats, and improved modularity should meet the expectations of Canadian families."

Thus, the 2026 Jeep Cherokee aims to stand out from the lot while staying true to its heritage; a capable 4x4 anywhere you go.

The transformed cabin further adds value with quality materials, comfortable seating, and a more user-friendly cockpit.
