If you’re looking for an SUV that has some off-roading capabilities but can also handle your everyday tasks, you’re in the right place. The 2021 Jeep Cherokee is a high-performing, visually appealing vehicle that will suit almost any driver. It has several key features that stand out. We’re going to talk you through them, and their benefits.
3 Key Features of the 2021 Jeep Cherokee
1. Going Off-Road
Technically, you can hit the trails in any Jeep vehicle. They’re all highly capable and ruggedly built. However, they don’t all have JADL. This function, Jeep Active Drive Lock, is included in the Jeep Cherokee’s Trailhawk trim. It lets you lock the rear axle and activate a driving mode created to deal with rocky paths. JADL is an asset if you’re taking on an incredibly beaten-up trail. It ensures you stay safe and steady no matter what the road throws at you.
Another aspect of the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk that helps is the all-terrain tires. The regular Jeep Cherokee doesn’t come with all-terrain tires as standard, but you can certainly ask for them if needed. All-terrain tires on the regular Cherokee trim are perfect for someone who occasionally tackles trickier terrain, but doesn’t frequently go off-roading.
2. Towing Large Loads
This is a key feature of the Cherokee that makes it stand out – this SUV can tow 4,500 pounds. Most competitors can handle much, much less than that. Only a few come close to matching the Cherokee’s prowess, but even in those, you’ll notice an increase in difficulty driving. With the Jeep Cherokee, you’ll barely notice a 4,500-pound trailer of gear is attached to your vehicle. That’s what sets it apart from competitors that can also tow large loads
There’s not much you can’t do with that 4,500-pound maximum towing capacity. You can hook up a camper and head into the wilderness, you can take a jet ski or a boat down to the beach. Maybe you’re moving, but you don’t want to hire a large vehicle to transport your things to your new home. Your Jeep Cherokee can most certainly excel in those situations.
3. Heating and Cooling Quickly
Every vehicle has some form of air conditioning and a heating fan. Modern vehicles take it a step further – many of them let you select a temperature for your cabin, and the climate control kicks in to maintain it. It heats or cools the cabin until it hits the desired temperature. After that, it adjusts its heat output to keep your cabin exactly as warm or cold as you like it. Unfortunately, this can often take five minutes: maybe 10 or more.
The Jeep Cherokee has the fastest-acting climate control system we’ve ever seen. Only moments after you input your desired temperature, you’ll start feeling warmer or colder. If it’s warmth you’re seeking, the heated seats also work fast to help you stay toasty in winter.
