The 2022 Jeep Cherokee is a suv that earns a Carivo score of 6.7/10 — rated Good. Its strongest dimension is Performance at 8.9/10, while Technology at 7.6/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional suv — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. The reliability picture is solid rather than spectacular: 8.4/10, which puts it comfortably above the class median. Safety lands at 8.0/10 — solid, though some rivals offer more advanced driver-assist features as standard. Confirm official results for your trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.
Few rivals match it for performance: 8.9/10. Expect handling and power delivery that make this one of the more entertaining suvs to actually drive. At 7.6/10 for technology, the infotainment and driver-assist package does its job without setting benchmarks — check which features cost extra on lower trims.
Priced from $33,290–$42,980, 22 MPG, seating 5, the Jeep Cherokee sits in the mid-market bracket of the suv segment. At 7.7/10 for value, it delivers fair pricing for what's on offer, though the best alternatives in this price range score slightly higher. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.
Verdict: The 2022 Jeep Cherokee sits in the middle of the field. Worth a look if it fits a specific need; otherwise use our compare tool against the segment leaders first.
