- The 2022 Jeep Cherokee adds a new trim level called X that features off-road appearance tweaks.
- The base 2.4-liter inline-four is gone, and the starting price rises significantly, to $35,590 for either the X or the Latitude Lux.
- The Cherokee X will be available later this spring and comes standard with all-wheel drive and the 3.2-liter V-6 engine.
The 2022 Jeep Cherokee gains a new trim level that’s less off-road-capable than the Trailhawk but comes with a similar look. The Cherokee X you see here has a tweaked front fascia and visuals including an “X” badge on the sides, a hood graphic, and retro “Four Wheel Drive” text on the rear, while also benefiting from a 1.0-inch suspension lift and all-terrain tires.
The Cherokee X starts at $35,590 and comes standard with a 271-hp 3.2-liter V-6 and all-wheel drive, although not the Cherokee Trailhawk’s more sophisticated Active Drive II system with a transfer case.
Due to other changes to the Cherokee lineup for 2022, the Cherokee X is now the cheapest model you can buy. It has the same starting price as the front-wheel drive Latitude Lux, which also comes standard with the V-6 but unlike the X offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four as a $695 option. The base Altitude and Latitude trims from last year are no more, and we won’t miss their underpowered base 2.4-liter inline-four with only 180 horsepower. But this does mean the Cherokee gets a significant price hike, as the X and Latitude Lux are $6105 more expensive than the 2021 Cherokee Altitude FWD.
The 2022 Cherokee Trailhawk starts at $38,640 and the Limited starts at $40,340. Jeep says the Cherokee X will be available later than other 2022 models and that it should start arriving at dealerships sometime in spring.
