SUVs are both spacious and capable, which is what makes them great family vehicles. Their fuel economy tends to be similar to sedans, and they’re much safer, easier to see out of, and there’s a lot more legroom for travelers. When looking at an SUV, you may expect to see decent mileage, an average towing capacity, a nice aesthetic appeal, and great technology features. However, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee has a high towing capacity, great fuel economy ratings, a sleek design, and is packed with high tech features. It may just be the perfect vehicle for you.
The 2021 Cherokee gets up to 31 miles per gallon, and it can tow up to 4,500 pounds. In short, this means that it can easily tow ATVs or smaller boats with ease. While the more popularized Jeep Wrangler is great for off-roading, the Jeep Cherokee is more fuel-efficient, and it offers a more practical aesthetic appeal. That’s why today, we’re showing you the 2021 Jeep Cherokee in all its glory.

The 2021 Jeep Cherokee’s exterior appeal is diverse, and its convenience features are abundant.
Its color options include Granite Crystal Metallic, Sing-Gray Clear-Coat, Sangria Metallic Clear-Coat, Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat, Billet Silver Metallic Clear-Coat, Slate Blue Pearl-Coat, Velvet Red Pearl-Coat, Spitfire Orange Clear-Coat, Olive Green Pearl-Coat, Light Brownstone Pearl-Coat, and Bright White Clear-Coat. The abundance of color choices means you can truly express yourself with your Cherokee.
Additionally, it comes with eight different wheel styles/colors, including 17-inch painted aluminum wheels, 17-inch satin carbon aluminum wheels, 17-inch painted/polished aluminum wheels, 17-inch satin carbon wheels, 19-inch granite crystal aluminum wheels, 18-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, and finally, 18-inch painted/polished aluminum wheels. Each of these styles is standard on one of the seven different trims, but Jeep gives you the option to customize your Cherokee to fit your personal style.
Now let’s look at exterior convenience features on the 2021 Jeep Cherokee. First, there’s the hands-free power liftgate. As long as the driver’s key is nearby, the liftgate will open via foot motion. Next up is the windshield wiper deicer. This can be used manually or automatically when the temperature drops. It also offers a tire fill alert system that lets you know when your tires are filled, along with tire pressure monitoring.
The 2021 Jeep Cherokee also comes in three limited editions, including the 80th Anniversary Edition, the High Altitude Edition, and the Altitude Edition. The 80th Anniversary Edition is available on other Jeep models as well, and its signature appeal is its Granite Crystal exterior color paired with anniversary badging and wheels to match. The High Altitude trim comes with a Commandview dual-pane panoramic sunroof and Granite Crystal badging with wheels to match. Finally, the Altitude Edition comes with black wheels and blacked-out badging, and Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat is standard on this trim.
Overall, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee offers plenty of options for customization and aesthetic.
There’s a lot to say about the 2021 Jeep Cherokee’s included tech, but let’s start with entertainment features first. Thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, drivers can wirelessly connect their phones to the Jeep’s Uconnect for audio streaming, navigation, calls, and more. Speaking of navigation, the Uconnect GPS allows drivers to search for local gas stations and food stops, on top of regular navigation features. The Cherokee also offers Amazon Alexa compatibility, which drivers can use to start their vehicles, use the GPS system, and much more. Lastly, the Wi-Fi hotspot allows up to eight different device connections at once, making the Cherokee a great option for long travels and commutes.
Now, let’s look at convenience features. First, there’s remote start. All the driver has to do is open the Uconnect app on their phone and start up the vehicle from there. This removes interruptions that may occur with older remote start systems. The Vehicle Health Report is an available monthly log of the Cherokees health status and performance, meant to keep drivers ahead of the game when it comes to repairs and maintenance. It also offers Send and Go that works with your Uconnect 4C NAV, which allows you to look for locations on your phone and displays them on your infotainment screen. It even offers adaptive cruise control with stop and go, which is like classic cruise control but with distance monitoring. Essentially, this keeps the driver from having to reset cruise control every time the traffic flow changes. In addition, the Cherokee can be equipped with automatic lights and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
Overall, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee’s technology offers several entertainment and convenience features.
The 2021 Jeep Cherokee comes with several safety features, both modern and traditional. Let’s start by looking at its modern tech safety additions. First, there’s SOS Call, which is located on the Cherokees rear view mirror. By hitting a button, drivers can receive assistance for emergencies or roadside assistance issues like flat tires or empty fuel. Additionally, there are several driver assist features available. Let’s take a closer look at those.
This model offers blind-spot monitoring with rear cross path detection, a lane departure warning system, electronic stability control, full-speed forward collision warning with active braking, Parksense rear park assist with stop, a Parkview rear backup camera, and parallel and perpendicular park assist with full stop.
Blind spot monitoring with rear cross path detection alerts drivers when someone is in their blind zone, and it sends notifications if someone is driving by when the Cherokee is in reverse.
Next up is the lane departure warning system. This technology uses sounds and vibrations to alert the driver when lane drifting occurs. This is specifically targeted for situations when a driver may have fallen asleep or has been distracted.
Electronic stability control works similarly by detecting unintentional drifting and by correcting oversteering and understeering, which is even more applicable during poor weather conditions.
Full-speed forward collision with automatic braking does exactly what it sounds like it does. It alerts drivers when they’re too close to the vehicle ahead, and it will automatically stop the vehicle if it gets too close to another car.
Now, let’s look at the rear park assist with stop. This technology uses sensors to detect object when the vehicle is in reverse. If the driver gets too close to a vehicle, automatic braking will be applied. The rearview backup camera works well with this, using the Uconnect screen to show the driver everything that’s behind the vehicle.
Finally, parallel and perpendicular park assist can actually park the 2021 Jeep Cherokee on its own. It uses technology to detect parking space, then uses automatic acceleration, braking, and steering to park the vehicle on its own. It’s still important to stay alert when using this feature.
Let’s look at some more traditional safety features now. The Cherokee includes rear child safety locks, an airbag occupancy sensor, curtain first and second-row airbags, driver and passenger knee airbags and rear side impact airbags, dual state driver and passenger seat-mounted side airbags, side-impact beams, and three-point seatbelts with height adjusters. Overall, it has a 5-star NHTSA safety rating.
