2021 Jeep Cherokee Trim Level Guide

 

The Jeep Cherokee is one of the most iconic compact SUVs ever made, and the 2021 model year combines the same versatility and practicality this nameplate is known for. The 2021 Jeep Cherokee is offered in five different trim levels with a starting MSRP of $27,455. If you're in the market for a compact SUV that offers the legendary Jeep Trail Rated off-road capabilities, four-wheel drive comes standard on the rugged Trailhawk model and is optional on all other 2021 Jeep Cherokee trim levels for an extra $1,500.

With the starting price of $27,455, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude comes fully equipped with standard features that include full LED headlights and daytime running lights, 17-inch wheels, cloth seats and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The Latitude and Latitude Plus trim levels are powered by a 2.4-liter Tigershark inline-four that produces 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque.

 

Moving up from the base trim level, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus adds more content to go along with a starting price of $29,525. Standard features on the Latitude Plus such as fog lights, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, and there's also an available Altitude Package that adds more style through black interior and exterior accents including Gloss Black 18-inch wheels.

 

The newest addition to the Cherokee lineup is the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude LUX trim level, which is priced starting at $30,875. This trim level delivers a long list of premium amenities and safety features such as full LED exterior lights, leather seats, power front seats with power lumbar adjustment, full-speed collision warning with active braking, rain-sensing wipers, blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning. 

More importantly, the Latitude LUX and higher trim levels come standard with the 3.2-liter Pentastar V-6 that produces 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. The Latitude LUX trim level can also be optioned up to include the available 80th Anniversary Package, which adds even more content like special exterior badges, 19-inch wheels, premium leather seats, Berber floor mats, dual-pane panoramic sunroof, Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen radio and a seven-inch full-color digital gauge cluster.

 

Not too long ago, the idea of a luxurious Jeep may have seemed ludicrous, but today, Jeep's Limited trim level provides just that. Priced starting at $35,030, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited includes luxury features like a power liftgate, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system and adaptive cruise control. 

This trim level can also be optioned up with the available High Altitude Package that adds Granite Crystal exterior accents, Granite Crystal 19-inch wheels, body-color wheel flares, black beltline trim, gun metal interior accents, tungsten interior accent stitching and navigation. For customers wanting more low-end torque and improved fuel economy, the Limited and Latitude Lux trim levels can be equipped with 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four that produces 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

 

If you don't want to step up to a Wrangler or Gladiator, you can still get a lot of Jeep's Trail Rated off-road capability on the Renegade, Compass, Cherokee and Grand Cherokee with the Trailhawk trim level. With a starting price of $36,330, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk comes standard with four-wheel drive, bigger tires, more ground clearance,  and a unique look with distinctive red tow hooks front and rear.
