Jeep Cherokee KL Technical Specs

Engine and Performance

  • 2.4L Tigershark I4 (MultiAir2): The base engine for early models, producing 184 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque; noted for its unique electro-hydraulic variable valve lift system.
  • 3.2L Pentastar V6: A scaled-down version of the famous 3.6L, delivering 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque, providing a class-leading towing capacity of 4,500 lbs.
  • 2.0L Turbocharged I4: Introduced in 2019, this "Global Medium Engine" (GME) produced 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, utilizing a twin-scroll turbocharger for improved low-end response.

Drivetrain and Transmission

  • 9-Speed Automatic (ZF 948TE): All KL models utilized this transverse 9-speed gearbox, featuring a wide 9.81 ratio spread to balance off-road crawling with highway fuel economy.
  • Jeep Active Drive Lock: Exclusive to the Trailhawk trim, this system includes a 2.92:1 low-range gear and a mechanical rear-locking differential for extreme articulation and traction.
  • Rear-Axle Disconnect: A technical highlight that automatically disengages the power transfer unit (PTU) when 4WD isn't needed, reducing parasitic drag and improving efficiency.
