New Cherokee, advise needed.
We are planning to buy a new SUV and are strongly considering a Cherokee. It'll be for my wife's use primarily. I have never owned a jeep before and looking for some guidance. Planning to test drive one soon. Budget 25-30 K .
Would like to get a comfortable ride. Don't need power/ performance, but prefer the high end / luxury bits as much as budget permits. I would prefer leather since I have a toddler and it's difficult to keep cloth interior clean. Also wife would need some parking sensors / rear camera etc. Also what are the features that you recommend the highest and would not want a jeep without? What models / trim you guys recommend? Anything to watch out for while going for test drive? Thanks. |
I would get a trail hawk

I would wait on the new Cherokee its a brand new model and the first year or two of those always have problems after a while.

The Trail hawk is meant for true off roading / hauling I presume. May not need that.
I have thought about the Q5 but it tends to get too pricey and maintenance isn't cheap either. A used one might be worse in that respect, however I will surely have a look around ( I'm beginning to get the feeling that Jeep is not the right vehicle at present). Thanks for all your opinions. Much appreciated. |
Have you considered the jeep patriot? A trailhawk will be out of that budget range. You can get a nicely optioned patriot with that budget.

Patriot is nice, but the only Jeep my wife would consider is the new Cherokee.;)
My be it's the feminine looks of Cherokee ...... Oh boy .... these girls....:) |

Grand Cherokees are sharp

Why don't you look around for a used Dodge Caravan? The newer ones have the back up cameras, lots of room for kids and all the associated gear. If you aren't planning on doing any 4x4ing I would get a van. I know from experience I had one and it was great when you have wee ones.

No a minivan means you are able to reproduce at a rapid rate, you need it to haul all the offspring around.
