Explore the All-New Jeep Cherokee at Portage Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram

After stepping away from the lineup, the Cherokee name returns as a genuinely all-new midsize SUV rather than a warmed-over version of what came before. It brings bold, boxy styling that leans into Jeep's adventurous past while running on brand-new hybrid technology underneath. Portage Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram carries the all-new Cherokee for buyers who want Jeep capability with a meaningfully different efficiency story than the outgoing model offered.

A New 1.6-Liter Turbo Hybrid With No Plug Required

The 2026 Cherokee debuts Stellantis's new 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid engine paired with a two-motor hybrid transmission, delivering an estimated system output of 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. It's a standard hybrid rather than a plug-in, so there's no charging cable to manage, just genuinely improved efficiency built into how the vehicle already drives.

An Estimated 37 MPG and More Than 500 Miles Per Tank

Jeep's own figures put the new Cherokee at an estimated 37 mpg combined, with more than 500 miles of range on a single tank of fuel. For drivers doing long stretches around Portage without wanting to stop and refuel constantly, that's a genuinely different proposition than what a traditional gas-only midsize SUV offers.

Standard Jeep Active Drive I 4x4

Capability remains a core Jeep strength, and the all-new Cherokee continues that tradition with a standard, sophisticated all-wheel-drive system called Jeep Active Drive I 4x4. It includes Selec-Terrain traction management with four drive modes, Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud, giving every Cherokee buyer real off-pavement confidence without an upcharge.

140 Standard and Available Safety Features

The 2026 Cherokee offers 140 standard and available safety and security features, including standard Active Driving Assist. That's a substantial baseline of driver support built into a vehicle that starts well under $40,000, positioning the Cherokee as a genuinely well-equipped choice rather than a stripped-down value play.

A 10.25-Inch Digital Cluster and 12.3-Inch Touchscreen, Standard

Every Cherokee trim comes with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen as standard equipment, so shoppers aren't forced up the trim ladder just to get modern screens. It's part of a broader approach that treats meaningful technology as baseline rather than a reason to upsell.

Unsurpassed Towing and More Cargo Space Than Ever

The all-new Cherokee boasts unsurpassed towing ratings for its class along with more cargo space than any previous Cherokee generation. Combined with its boxy, upright shape, that translates into a genuinely useful interior for families who need to haul gear as often as passengers.
