All three engine options are mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard while AWD and 4WD (Jeep Active Drive and Jeep Active Drive Lock)are available depending on the trim level chosen. Each 4x4 equipped Cherokee model is Trail-Rated, which means it is ready to take on every terrain!
