Your Guide to the new 2026 Jeep Cherokee

Exterior Design

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee displays a thorough exterior evolution that pays tribute to five decades of Cherokee legacy while creating a distinctly current appearance. Design professionals developed a longer, taller, and broader stance compared to the outgoing generation, incorporating defined edges that reference iconic Cherokee models from the brand's past. The front facade showcases boxy, squared-off LED headlight units with integrated daytime running light elements that form a distinctive U-shaped pattern, immediately marking this vehicle as part of the Jeep lineage. The traditional seven-slot grille remains the focal element, while the overall silhouette exhibits clean, angular forms with commanding, substantial proportions.

The design philosophy targets achieving a more vertical stance that connects to the SUV's foundational character while embracing current styling trends. Bold character lines flow from front to rear, ending in the unique jerrican-inspired taillight design that ensures instant recognition on Alberta roadways. The angular side profile highlights the vehicle's practical purpose while preserving the adventurous character that has made Cherokee a household name. The 20-centimetre ground clearance provides both visual authority and functional capability for navigating Edmonton's varied terrain.

Interior Space and Comfort

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee interior focuses on four key design principles: active, playful, practical, and progressive elements throughout the cabin space. The redesigned cockpit offers increased space with enhanced interior storage compared to all previous Cherokee models, directly addressing the practical demands of contemporary families. Total interior passenger volume measures 3,040.1 litres, with front seating providing 1,050 mm of legroom and 1,023 mm of headroom in models without the optional dual-pane panoramic sunroof.

Storage capacity displays notable improvement, with the 2026 Cherokee offering 30% increased space versus the predecessor - adequate room for an extra large dog crate when rear seats are folded flat. The second row provides 952.1 litres of cargo volume, expanding to 1,935.0 litres when both rear seat sections are folded. The new rotary gear selector creates additional space for personal items while maintaining straightforward operation. Premium material choices include distinctive perforation patterns on Cherokee Overland models and environmentally responsible options such as non-leather seat materials and recycled carpet components.

Powertrain

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee features Stellantis' new 1.6-litre inline-four turbocharged engine working alongside a sophisticated hybrid system. This advanced powertrain configuration incorporates an internal combustion engine, two electric motors, and a 400-volt, 1.08 kWh battery pack to generate 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of combined system torque. The transmission uses an electronically controlled continuously variable design (ECVT) with power split hybrid architecture that optimizes efficiency across various driving scenarios.

The hybrid system recharges through regenerative braking technology, eliminating external charging requirements while ensuring consistent performance. The 51.9-litre fuel tank paired with hybrid efficiency allows the Cherokee to travel up to 800 kilometres on a single tank. The base 1.6-litre engine produces 177 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque independently, constructed with aluminum materials, variable valve timing for intake and exhaust systems, and an 11.3:1 compression ratio. Regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane specifications helps maintain affordable operating costs for Alberta owners.
