A Bold New Look
The 2026 Jeep Cherokee embraces a fresh, boxy design that immediately stands out. With its upright stance, distinctive grille, and confident proportions, it proudly wears its Jeep DNA while introducing a modern silhouette made for the road ahead.
Hybrid Power, Legendary Capability
Under the hood, the new Cherokee introduces a 1.6-litre EP Turbo I4 Hybrid engine, offering smooth, efficient performance without the need to plug in. Regenerative braking helps recharge the system while driving—reducing stops at the pump and supporting an estimated 6.4 L/100 km combined fuel economy.
Built for life in Manitoba and beyond, the Cherokee comes equipped with the Selec-Terrain® traction management system, featuring four drive modes tailored to handle snow, mud, sand, and daily commutes with ease. With a towing capacity of up to 1,587 kg (3,500 lb), it brings real capability to the hybrid SUV segment.
Spacious, Sustainable, and Smart
Inside, the Cherokee balances everyday practicality with modern refinement. The interior features cloth seats made from recycled materials and an available Capri leatherette trim in Global Black or Arctic. Cargo space has grown significantly, offering 951 L (33.6 cu-ft) behind the rear seats and up to 1,934 L (68.3 cu-ft) when folded—proving that adventure doesn’t require compromise.
Technology That Works as Hard as You Do
Every drive feels connected and intuitive thanks to Jeep’s latest in-vehicle tech. A 31.2 cm (12.3-inch) touchscreenpowered by Uconnect® 5 anchors the dashboard, complemented by a 26 cm (10.25-inch) digital cluster display. Together, they keep navigation, media, and hybrid performance data front and centre, so drivers can stay focused on the journey.
The Next Evolution of Jeep
With its hybrid-only engine, trail-ready tech, and bold new design, the 2026 Jeep Cherokee ushers in a smarter future—without losing the rugged edge that made it iconic. For Manitoba drivers seeking efficient capability, this new chapter might be the most exciting yet.
