The Jeep Cherokee is back for 2026—and it’s unlike any Cherokee before it. After a short hiatus, this legendary nameplate returns as a fuel-efficient hybrid SUV with standard all-wheel drive, advanced technology, and more space than ever.

Under the hood, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine works in tandem with two electric motors to produce a combined 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, giving you strong performance with remarkable efficiency. Jeep estimates an impressive 37 mpg combined and over 500 miles of total driving range, making the Cherokee both adventurous and eco-conscious.

While it shares the toughness and attitude Jeep fans expect, the 2026 Cherokee ushers in a new generation of intelligent capability designed for modern drivers.

For the first time in its storied history, the Cherokee arrives as a hybrid SUV that doesn’t compromise on capability.

Hybrid Powertrain: 1.6L turbocharged engine + dual electric motors

Combined Output: 210 hp / 230 lb-ft of torque

Transmission: Continuously Variable Automatic (CVT)

Drivetrain: Standard all-wheel drive

The mechanical rear axle ensures confident traction on any terrain while allowing disconnection when not needed—boosting efficiency on highways. Though there’s no low-range gearing or locking differentials, Jeep hints that a Trail Rated® version could join the lineup later.

With a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, the 2026 Cherokee is ready for small trailers, jet skis, or weekend adventure gear. Whether you’re driving through Dana Point, cruising the Pacific Coast Highway, or exploring backroads, this new hybrid Cherokee makes every mile count.

The new Cherokee redefines Jeep’s design language with sleek lines, modern aerodynamics, and unmistakable Jeep character. The iconic seven-slot grille, bold creases, and stylish roof rack give it a commanding presence, while new color options and lighting details bring sophistication to the SUV’s rugged DNA.

Inside, the 2026 Cherokee delivers an elevated driving experience with a larger cabin, refined materials, and more cargo space than before—30% more behind the second row, to be exact.

Cargo Space: 31 cu. ft. (rear seats up) / 68 cu. ft. (rear seats folded)

Interior Options: Black or Arctic White with available faux leather
