The 2026 Cherokee kicks off its 6th generation with hybrid power and Jeep’s trademark capability.
You’ll immediately notice the reimagined design: bolder, boxier, and unmistakably Jeep. The new Cherokee is longer, taller, and wider than previous models, yet it still carries signature design DNA like squared-off headlights and the iconic seven-slot grille.
But the feature everyone's talking about is under the hood: an all-new turbo-hybrid powertrain delivering an impressive 500+ miles of total range. With legendary 4x4 capability, hybrid efficiency, and more interior room than ever, the 2026 Cherokee is raising the bar in the mid-size SUV segment.
Our team at Santee Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has put together everything you need to know about the 2026 Jeep Cherokee's hybrid powertrain so you can decide whether the new Cherokee deserves a spot in your garage.
