The 2027 Jeep Cherokee is a midsize SUV with a 1.6L Turbo Hybrid engine, and every trim except Trailhawk comes with the Jeep Active Drive I 4x4 system. The base Cherokee starts at $35,130 MSRP and is offered only in 4x4, so you don't have to pay extra for winter traction. Here's what the base model includes, how it handles Fayetteville's icy hills, and what you get by stepping up a trim.

The Cherokee's self-charging Turbo Hybrid never needs to be plugged in.
The base Cherokee covers the essentials, with comfort upgrades on higher trims.
Even the base Cherokee includes large screens and a full set of driver-assist features.
The Cherokee suits commuters and small families who want 4x4 traction and strong fuel economy without stretching their budget.
Jeep says the Cherokee's Active Drive I 4x4 system helps in ice, snow, heavy rain and high winds. It works automatically, so there's nothing to engage when freezing rain arrives on the way to work. As with any vehicle, 4x4 helps you get moving but doesn't shorten stopping distance, so slow down on bridges and shaded hills and consider winter tires if you drive often in freezing weather.
With more than 500 miles of range, you can top off before a storm and go days without another fill-up, which helps when roads are slick and gas station lines are long. The hybrid recharges itself through the engine and regenerative braking, so there's no cord to plug in during cold weather.
The base Cherokee is the most affordable way into the lineup. The Laredo, starting at $38,130 MSRP, adds heated front seats, remote start, 18-inch wheels, LED fog lamps and a power driver's seat. For cold Northwest Arkansas mornings, those extras are worth comparing side by side.
