Jeep Cherokee Limited 2015 review - pictures

The Jeep Cherokee has been updated for 2015 with a pair of new 2.2-litre diesel engines.

The new engines address customer feedback on the old units and are more powerful, more refined, and more economical.

The Cherokee's rough and ready image is very popular in the United States, but has never quite caught the imagination of the UK car-buying public.

The Jeep Cherokee's interior is a little unrefined, but the equipment is generous.

Jeep's trademark 7-bar grille makes an appearance alongside curious stacked headlights.

The Cherokee's suspension is upsettingly unrefined, fidgeting over smaller bumps and wallowing over larger ones.

The Cherokee is no match on road for the BMW X3 or even less expensive models like the Ford Kuga or VW Tiguan.

CO2 and fuel consumption are improved but still high at 150g/km and 49.6mpg respectively.

The nine-speed automatic gearbox is smooth but when switched to manual mode it can be frustrating trying to select the right gear.

The 2.2-litre diesel cannot compete with the best in class for refinement.
