Jeep Australia has released the MY21 Cherokee, with pricing and standard equipment for the mid-size SUV’s off-road focused Trailhawk variant increasing.
The Trailhawk is not only $2700 dearer, at $52,650 plus on-road costs, but now matches the Cherokee’s luxury-focused S-Limited variant for pricing.
That said, Trailhawk buyers are compensated for their extra spend with additional standard equipment, including black 17-inch alloy wheels, heated and ventilated front seats with memory functionality, an adjustable rear bench, leather upholstery, an alarm, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and high-beam assist.
If all of these new features sound familiar, it’s because they were previously part of an optional Premium Package that commanded a $2950 premium.
All other Cherokee variants, including the aforementioned S-Limited, are unchanged from MY20, with the entry-level Sport still priced from $37,950, while the mid-range continues to cost $49,950.
For reference, the Sport is the only front-wheel-drive variant of the Subaru Forester rival, with it powered by a 130kW/229Nm 2.4-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine.
A 200kW/315Nm 3.2-litre naturally aspirated V6 petrol engine is used by all other Cherokee variants, which feature one of two versions of Jeep’s four-wheel-drive system. Either way, a nine-speed torque-converter automatic transmission is fitted as standard.
