Jeep Cherokee (08-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 23 January 2008 Last Updated: 12 February 2009 This Jeep Cherokee goes back to the familiar squared-off and rugged styling that first made the model popular in the UK in the 1990s. However inside it's far more upmarket than before and comes very well equipped too with luxuries such as heated leather seats as standard. But that's not to say the Cherokee has gone soft - true to Jeep's heritage it is near unstoppable off road and comes with a sophisticated four-wheel drive system. It's not bad on tarmac either, but doesn't feel as sharp as many road-biased 4x4 rivals such as the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V. The line-up is simple with just a single trim level and one engine choice, a strong CRD diesel. 3.5 out of 5 Other Jeep reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Safety The previous Cherokee scored a reasonable four stars out of five for occupant protection in official European crash tests - good for a car launched in 2001 - so this version is expected to do at least as well. This Cherokee offers 30 safety and security features including traction and stability control, advanced multi-stage airbags, electronic roll mitigation (to prevent the car rolling over), side airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system and a Thatcham Category 1 alarm with immobiliser.
