2022 Jeep Cherokee price and features: America's Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Nissan X-Trail, Hyundai Tucson and Mitsubishi Outlander rival now costs more

The Cherokee’s pricing has been upped on three separate occasions in 2021.

For the third time this year, Jeep Australia has increased the pricing of the fifth-generation Cherokee mid-size SUV.

At $38,250 plus on-road costs, the entry-level Sport is the only unchanged Cherokee variant, with the mid-range Limited and flagship Trailhawk and S-Limited all now $300 dearer, at $50,750, $53,450 and $53,450 respectively.

Speaking to CarsGuide, a Jeep Australia spokesperson confirmed no changes have been made to the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Nissan X-Trail, Hyundai Tucson and Mitsubishi Outlander rival’s standard specification.

Instead, they said “the usual external factors”, likely including exchange-rate pressures, were behind the mid-size SUV’s price rises this time around.

For reference, the Sport went up $300 and the Limited, Trailhawk and S-Limited rose $500 about two months ago. And back in February, the Trailhawk became $2700 dearer in exchange for the addition of the previously optional Premium Package.

The Sport is the only front-wheel-drive version, 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 grades, 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.
