Jeep Cherokee MPG

There are a lot of reasons to love the 2021 Jeep Cherokee, from its iconic style to its legendary 4×4 performance options. Although, when you’re shopping around for a new SUV, Rockwall Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) wants to make sure you know what kind of fuel economy to expect.

The 2021 Jeep Cherokee can get an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG when properly equipped. In this Jeep Cherokee MPG guide, you’ll find out how each available engine affects its fuel economy as you take this SUV down the roads of Rockwall, Rowlett, Terrell, and Wylie, TX.

Jeep Cherokee MPG: 3.2L Pentastar® V6 Engine

Drivetrain/4×4 System	EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy
Jeep Active Drive Lock	18 city/24 highway MPG
Jeep Active Drive II	18 city/26 highway MPG
Jeep Active Drive	19 city/27 highway MPG
4×2 Drivetrain	20 city/29 highway MPG

If you opt for the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk trim, you’ll get this 271-horsepower engine and a Jeep Active Drive Lock 4×4 system. This configuration offers exceptional off-road performance. It also gets you an EPA-estimated 18 city/24 highway MPG.

Four-wheel drive models equipped with the Jeep Active Drive or Jeep Active Drive II 4×4 systems are slightly more efficient on the open roads. Switching to a 4×2 drivetrain allows you to go even farther on a single tank of gas, thanks to its ability to get an EPA-estimated 20 city/29 highway MPG.

Jeep Cherokee MPG: 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 Engine

The available 2.4L engine is more efficient, while still generating 180 horsepower. If you’re looking for off-road capability, this powertrain offers the available Jeep Active Drive 4×4 system. This configuration will provide an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG.

Again, the 4×2 drivetrain offers better fuel economy. That’s because the system only needs to send power to two wheels, instead of controlling all four. This gives the Cherokee an EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway MPG with this configuration. This means you will be able to travel 100 miles using just four gallons of gas!

Jeep Cherokee MPG: 2.0L Turbo Engine

Drivetrain/4×4 System	EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy
Jeep Active Drive II	20 city/27 highway MPG
Jeep Active Drive	21 city/29 highway MPG
4×2 Drivetrain	23 city/31 highway MPG

The last of the Jeep Cherokee engine lineup is also its most efficient while driving around town. The available 2.0L Turbo engine offers 270 horsepower—that’s nearly as much as the larger Pentastar® V6 engine. Features such as direct fuel injection and a smaller design make this option more efficient, though.

If you want the most efficient Jeep Cherokee build, you’ll want to opt for this engine, along with a 4×2 drivetrain. This configuration provides an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG.
