Minivans have their place, but not every family needs one. You can still have a safe, spacious family vehicle without getting a van. The Jeep Cherokee is one of the Jeep crossover vehicles and has room for up to five passengers. It offers impressive towing capabilities, and it comes with the safety features you want for your family. Here are some reasons to get your family a Jeep Cherokee.
The Spacious Cabin
There are two rows of supportive, comfortable seats in the 2019 Cherokee. Cloth seats come standard in the lower trim levels with leather available as you move up through the lineup. This SUV comes with two sets of LATCH connectors for car seats in the back, and even the middle rear seat has an upper tether and an anchor. In the back, behind the rear seats there are 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space. This is plenty for daily gear for the family, and if you fold down the rear seats when you don’t have the kids with you, it opens up to 54.7 cubic feet.
The Powerful Engine Options
The base engine in the 2020 Cherokee is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 180 horsepower. This is plenty to get you going, but if you want more, a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder will get you 270 horsepower. There is also a 271 horsepower V-6 engine available, and if you have this engine and the tow package, the Cherokee can tow up to 4,500 pounds.
The Technology
Kids are all about technology, and the Cherokee gives them plenty to work with. A 7-inch touch screen comes standard along with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth. A larger 8.4-inch touch screen is an available option along with the Uconnect infotainment system. Starting with the Latitude Plus model, you’ll get two USB ports in the back center console so the kids can connect and charge their devices
Safety Technology
You can keep your family safe in the Cherokee with the standard and available safety technology. All models come standard with a rearview camera and rear parking sensors, and additional advanced driver-assist features come with an optional package. Jeep makes forward collision warning with automated emergency braking available along with lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. You can also get the available blind-spot monitor that has a rear cross-path detection system too. Adaptive cruise control, a parallel and perpendicular parking assist feature, and rain-sensing wipers are available as options.
The Off-Road Capabilities
The Jeep Cherokee has off-road capabilities that you won’t get in a minivan. This SUV offers the perfect combination of comfortable cruiser and off-road vehicle so that you can take the family out on weekend adventures. Jeep offers four different four-wheel drive systems that provide extra traction and a system the automatically engages when the road conditions deteriorate.
Choosing the 2019 Jeep Cherokee over a minivan gets you the best of both worlds. You can fit your family in comfort, the kids can connect while they ride, and it can take you off the beaten path.
