The 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk in Manassas, VA

If you need to drive away from the pavement regularly, the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is the ideal vehicle for you. From its high ground clearance to its off-road-tuned suspension, this compact SUV is specially designed to handle the toughest terrain. Find out why the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is one of the best off-road vehicles on the market.

Excellent Performance in the 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk draws power from a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine that cranks out 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Using a smooth-shifting ZF nine-speed automatic transmission, it can sprint to 60 mph from a standstill in just 7.6 seconds and finish a quarter-mile run in 16 seconds. Also, it is able to tow up to 4,000 pounds. Considering its power output and relatively hefty weight, the SUV’s fuel economy rating of 20/26 mpg (city/highway) is quite impressive.

Although it is first and foremost an off-roader, the Cherokee Trailhawk also rides well on paved surfaces. Its updated suspension and revised springs, roll bars, dampers, and bushings contribute to a smooth and stable ride, while its precise steering enables it to negotiate turns and close quarters with ease.

Comfortable and Well-Equipped Cabin

The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk can accommodate five people. Both its front and rear seats are comfortable and supportive, and they will hold you and your passengers in place well in off-road situations. The cabin is quiet and features materials that are a cut above the competition. The dashboard, armrests, and door panels are soft to the touch and have low-gloss surfaces, and the lower panels feature contrasting lighter colors. As for cargo space, the SUV gives you 25.8 cubic feet with the rear seats upright and 54.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

You can also expect to have a connected and entertaining ride in the Cherokee Trailhawk, as it comes with many advanced tech features. These include a user-friendly Uconnect 4 infotainment system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display, 7-inch instrument panel screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite radio, and USB ports.

Outstanding Off-Road Capabilities

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is a true-blue adventure vehicle. It comes with a long list of off-road-oriented features, including an 8.7-inch ground clearance, unique bumpers for better approach and departure angles, taller wheels, all-terrain tires with more sidewall, skid plates, red tow hooks, and an off-road-tuned suspension. The crossover also has the Selec-Speed system for controlling speed through tight terrain or on hills and the Active Drive Lock four-wheel-drive system that consists of a two-speed transfer case, locking rear differential, and rock mode.

Most compact SUVs have the same underpinnings as traditional cars. While they can travel on dirt roads that lead to campsites, they do not have the chops to handle truly challenging terrain. The 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, on the other hand, is a rugged, go-anywhere SUV that can handle any off-road situation, from wading across rushing streams to crawling through rocky trails. If you are interested in getting this off-road beast, stop by for a test drive.
