New Jeep Cherokee for Sale in Yucca Valley, CA
Joshua Tree CDJR · 57909 29 Palms HwyThe Jeep Cherokee is back, and it is not the Cherokee that left. Every new one is a turbo hybrid with 4x4 standard. Every one tows up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, a rating Jeep calls Unsurpassed-in-Class. And every one is rated at an EPA-Estimated 37 mpg combined, worth more than 500 miles on a tank. Here is what the lineup offers shoppers in Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, and Twentynine Palms.
What Powers the New Jeep Cherokee?
Every new Jeep Cherokee runs the same setup. A turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder works with two electric motors. Together they make 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque through a continuously variable automatic transmission. There is no gas-only version and no engine upgrade to shop for.
Standard 4x4 on Every Trim
The Cherokee sends power to all four wheels the moment traction calls for it. On a steady cruise, the rear axle drops out to save gas. It kicks back in the instant a wheel slips. You get all-weather grip without paying for it at the pump every day.
EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy and Range
The Cherokee Turbo Hybrid is rated at an EPA-Estimated 39 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 37 mpg combined. Pair that with a 13.7-gallon tank and you get more than 500 miles of range. That matters on the long desert stretches between towns out here.
No Plug Required
You never plug this hybrid in. When you slow down, the brakes capture that energy and send it back to the battery on their own. There is no cable, no wall outlet, and no charging stop to plan around. Jeep walks through the system on its 2026 Cherokee overview.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
New Jeep Cherokee Trim Levels
The Cherokee is a two-row, five-passenger SUV offered in five trims:
- Cherokee
- Laredo
- Limited
- 85th Anniversary Edition
- Overland
All five share the same engine, the same 4x4 system, the same tow rating, and the same gas mileage. So the trim you pick is about comfort, materials, and tech. It is not about what the Cherokee can do.
Every trim gets a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard too, per Jeep's Cherokee technology page. Want cooled front seats? Those come on the Overland with the Advanced Pro Tech Group. Our 2026 Jeep Cherokee model overview has the full spec sheet.
