The 2016 Jeep Cherokees are in. Drive one.

Jeep Cherokee offers outstanding driver comfort and interior amenities. It's also amazingly efficient with up to 31 hwy mpg and boasts a multitude of standard and available safety and security features to help ensure a sound and efficient arrival. Feel free to stop by Barnett and drive one. 

We won’t say more about how great it is. But we WILL pass along some of what thecarconnection.com had to say. 

“The 2016 Jeep Cherokee builds something completely new onto a very familiar name and heritage. While the original Jeep Cherokee that launched in 1986 set the bar for sport-utility vehicles that could be used as family transport, inspiring a generation of competitors (and perhaps, the SUV trend as a whole), times have changed, and the market has come to favor models that are far more carlike. 

“For the most part, that's what the Cherokee is—although Jeep has managed to built a surprising amount of ruggedness and off-road ability onto a package that's designed primarily for families, road trips, and the daily grind. 

“The current Cherokee may be the first compact SUV to get the midpoint right, masterfully bridging the gap between city-friendly crossover and serious (or, serious enough) off-roader. It's an unlikely subject, stuffed with the heart of a Trail Rated Jeep. There's plenty of ruggedness and a general zest for things outdoorsy, while remaining perfectly suitable for families that merely want AWD security and the suggestion that they might have enjoyed camping a time or two. 

“The Cherokee really sizes right in with models that would be called compacts in the U.S., like the CR-V, Forester, and Escape. Jeep might call it a mid-sizer, but it's right in with those models. 

“You have a choice between a four-cylinder engine and a V-6—which helps it stand out in a class that includes several models that have gone all-four-cylinder. The standard 184-horsepower, 2.4-liter in-line four is plenty strong for quick acceleration, as well as being smooth and quiet for this class. The other new 3.2-liter V-6 makes 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque; it's torquey and generally happy with whatever work you throw its way. With the V-6 and a Trailer Tow Package, the Cherokee can pull 4,500 pounds.

“The Cherokee also sports a ZF nine-speed automatic that offers a shockingly wide range of ratios—allowing even the four-cylinder versions to take off very quick from a standing start and cruise with very low revs on the highway. 

“Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk editions are offered, with each model serving a different kind of buyer. Sport and Latitude models appeal to cost- and value-conscious families, while Limited models are the luxurious flagships of the lineup and Trailhawk models are ready for the trail. 

“The Cherokee also offers more options than you'll find in most other affordable crossovers. Highlights include a CommandView panoramic sunroof and Sky Slider roof, memory heated/ventilated seats, and soft Nappa leather upholstery with ventilated front seats in the top Limited model. Infotainment systems include 8.4-inch Uconnect media center audio-streaming app connectivity (Pandora and Slacker, among others); and top models include a full-color reconfigurable LED instrument cluster.

“This year, all models with that 8.4-inch system get a new Drag and Drop menu bar that allows more personalization, plus Siri Eyes Free compatibility and a Do Not Disturb mode that blocks out calls and text and can send a customized ‘I'm driving now’ message.”
