• Front and rear seat side airbags
• Forward Collision Warning, providing brake assistance if a collision is imminent
• Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist, actively guiding steering into tight parking jobs

Optional safety features on most models 2014 and onwards include a rearview camera and electric parking brake, engaged at the push of a button for quick stopping.

Jeep Cherokee Interior

The Jeep Cherokee offers a smart, configurable interior that lets drivers get more out of the SUV's available interior space. Additionally, all trim levels of the 2019 Cherokee offer cockpits made with premium materials. Some available features are:

• Accent stitching
• Liquid Titanium bezels around vents, knobs and screens 
• A nine-speaker sound system featuring an 8-inch subwoofer for high-quality sound

Fourth-generation Jeep Cherokees (produced from 2008-2013) provide plenty of luxury in the interior too, featuring real wood accents and premium leather upholstery as options.

Jeep Cherokee Technology

Although most of the Cherokee's most notable technological features do not come standard, customers who are willing to splurge on these extras may find that the added convenience is worth the cost. Some of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee's technological features:

• Keyless ignition
• Full-colour, high-definition touchscreen with 4G Wi-Fi, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility
• Driver Information Display, which provides real-time vehicle info as well as safety and performance data
• Sirius XM Guardian, available through the UConnect app. Sirius XM Guardian offers a selection of safety and convenience features, including remote start, remote lock and unlock and immediate emergency help through the SOS Call and Roadside Assistance Call options

As of 2014, the Sport comes standard with Bluetooth connectivity, a 5-inch touchscreen with six-speaker audio system and USB integration.

Jeep Cherokee Space

Although Jeep boasts that the 2019 Cherokee contains additional cargo space in comparison to previous years, some drivers have still complained that its storage room is lacking compared to other small crossovers. The vehicle's 60/40 split-folding rear seats can fold down to accommodate more cargo, which was offered as of the 2014 model. With this in mind, the Cherokee is a good fit for drivers who plan to travel light and are drawn to the other features, such as its compact size and optional off-road capabilities.

Jeep Cherokee Comfort

The Cherokee's absorbent suspension makes for a smooth ride, and the optional V6 and turbocharged 2.0 L four-cylinder engines have been praised for their steady, assertive power. The rich interior fabrics and optional Uconnect touchscreen enhance the driving experience and ensure a comfortable ride.
