The 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited blends upscale comfort with everyday practicality, offering a more refined take on the compact SUV segment. While this version comes with front-wheel drive rather than Jeep’s signature 4x4 systems, it still delivers a confident on-road driving experience, ideal for urban and suburban settings.

Under the hood, the Limited typically comes with a 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir 4-cylinder engine, producing 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission. For drivers wanting more power, a 3.2L Pentastar V6 with 271 horsepower was available as an option. The FWD setup provides better fuel economy, averaging 22 MPG city / 31 MPG highway with the 4-cylinder.

The Limited trim lives up to its name with a well-appointed cabin. It includes leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power driver’s seat. The interior feels upscale for the segment, with soft-touch materials and a quiet ride. Passenger space is good for a compact SUV, and the rear seats fold flat for added cargo versatility.

Standard tech includes the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a backup camera. Optional features include navigation, a premium audio system, and advanced driver-assistance features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

The 2016 Cherokee earned solid safety ratings, including good crash-test scores from the IIHS. Key safety features available on the Limited include rear parking sensors, rearview camera, and optional lane departure warning and forward collision warning (available in packages).

On the outside, the Cherokee Limited is distinguished by its 17-inch aluminum wheels, chrome exterior trim, and signature slim-line LED daytime running lights. Its design is more modern and urban compared to more rugged Jeep models, which may appeal to drivers looking for a crossover with a unique look.

The 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited FWD is a comfortable, tech-savvy compact SUV with premium interior features and smooth road manners. While it’s not built for serious off-roading like other Jeeps, it offers great value for daily driving, especially for those who prioritize comfort and style over all-terrain capability.
