The 2019 Jeep Cherokee appeals for its adventurous side, but it isn’t as roomy as rivals.
Pros Lovely cabin trim Very good front seats Trailhawk off-road skills Lots of active-safety options Good infotainment
Cons Some styling is derivative Fuel economy is just okay 9-speed’s occasional hiccups Interior space arrangement
The 2019 Jeep Cherokee ranked #14 in Compact SUVs. Currently the Jeep Cherokee has a score of 7.5 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 43 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros User-friendly infotainment system Fantastic off-road abilities First-rate cabin

Cons Characterless turbo mill, some chintzy cabin trim, laggardly automatic.
It doesn’t really do sharp handling, it’s not quite big enough to match the best in class for practicality, nor does it come with seven seats. Yet don’t overlook the C5 Aircross if those limitations don’t worry you, because it has a lot of other things going for it; its ride is superb on most roads, it cruises along supremely quietly, it has a reasonable purchase price and very reasonable running costs.
Pros Mostly a super-smooth ride Quiet inside at speed Frugal engines
Cons Wallowy handling No seven-seat option Question marks of Citroën's reliability
The C5 Aircross is Citroen's (late) leap onto the family-crossover bandwagon.A plug-in hybrid arrives early in 2020. The big draw with that one will be better fuel economy for commuting, and lower tax. Interestingly Citroen elected to make its PHEV front-drive only to keep the price down. Whereas Peugeot, which sells 3008s at a higher price, went for a more expensive PHEV system with 4WD via an extra rear-mounted motor.
Pros Very comfortable in all sorts of ways. Looks different. No sporty pretence
Cons No sporty actuality. Ride not as consistent as billed. Occasionally irritating screen system
Pros Eye-catching looks Generous boot space Comfortable to drive
Cons Some low-rent interior bits Awkward infotainment system Rear space is tight
