Exploring the All-New 2026 Jeep Cherokee in Milwaukee, WI
The Cherokee name returns on a genuinely new midsize SUV, not a refresh of what came before. It brings bold, boxy styling that leans into Jeep's adventurous past, a new hybrid powertrain, and standard four-wheel drive. For Milwaukee drivers who want Jeep capability with far better range per tank than a traditional gas SUV, the 2026 Cherokee is worth a close look. Griffin's Hub Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM is proud to offer the all-new Cherokee to Milwaukee County drivers.
A New 1.6-Liter Turbo Hybrid, No Plug Required
The 2026 Cherokee debuts Stellantis's new 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid engine paired with a two-motor hybrid transmission, producing an estimated 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. It's a conventional hybrid, not a plug-in, so there's no charging cable to manage and no change to your routine. You fill it up like any other vehicle and let the hybrid system do its work, which makes it an easy switch for drivers who aren't ready to deal with charging.
About 37 MPG and More Than 500 Miles Per Tank
Jeep estimates the new Cherokee at about 37 mpg combined, with more than 500 miles of range on a single tank of fuel. For drivers making longer trips out of Milwaukee, whether that's a weekend up the Lake Michigan shoreline or a run to Chicago, that range means fewer fuel stops and a lower fuel bill. It's a different efficiency story from the Cherokee that preceded it.
Standard Jeep Active Drive I 4x4
Capability remains a core Jeep strength, and the all-new Cherokee carries that forward with standard Jeep Active Drive I 4x4. It includes Selec-Terrain traction management with four drive modes: Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud. The Snow mode in particular is a useful setting for Wisconsin winters, and having the system standard means every Cherokee buyer gets real off-pavement confidence, not just the ones who step up a trim.
Big Screens and a Deep Safety List
A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen come standard across the lineup, so buyers aren't forced up the trim ladder to get a modern cockpit. The Cherokee also offers 140 standard and available safety and security features, including standard Active Driving Assist. That's a substantial baseline of driver support for a vehicle in this class.
Towing, Cargo, and a New Platform
Built on Stellantis's STLA Large platform, the Cherokee offers unsurpassed towing ratings for its class along with more cargo space than any previous Cherokee generation. Combined with its upright, boxy shape, that adds up to a practical interior for families who haul gear as often as passengers.
