The ongoing New York Motor Show 2013 saw the official unveiling of the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee.
The makers added the rear-axle disconnect making it the first mid-sized SUV to come with this feature. This helps the jeep to become more economical by helping in reducing the energy loss when 4×4 capability is not required.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee comes with various features such as the fully automated Jeep Active Drive I with a single power transfer unit (PTU), the Jeep Active Drive II with a two-speed PTU with torque management and low range and finally the Jeep Active Drive Lock Jeep which has all features of Jeep Active Drive II and an additional locking rear differential for superior low-speed power suitable on severe off-road conditions.
The jeep will come with two types of engines. The standards one would be a 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir 2 I-4 engine with output of 184 hp and 171 lb.-ft. of torque. The other one is the 3.2-liter Pentastar V-6 engine which can generate 271 hp and 239 lb.-ft. of torque.
