The Cherokee is back, and it did not come back empty-handed. To mark Jeep's 85th year, this 2026 unit wears the 85th Anniversary Edition treatment, recognizable by its exclusive steel oxide grey finish wheels and agave blue badging. Under the hood sits a hybrid powertrain that recharges itself as you drive: no charging station, no cable, no planning. Finished in monotone Silver Zynith, fitted with a two-panel panoramic sunroof and equipped with its trailer tow package, it is aimed at Beauce and Bellechasse families who want to spend less at the pump without giving up real Jeep capability.
A hybrid that charges itself, and still has punch
The 1.6L EP Turbo inline four-cylinder works alongside the electric side of the system to deliver 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, managed by an electronic variable transmission. Electric torque arrives from the very first revs, so pulling away from a light, passing on Route 173 and merging onto the highway all happen without effort.
The other good news shows up at the pump. The 2026 Cherokee posts combined fuel consumption as low as 6.3 L/100 km and can cover up to 800 kilometres on a single tank. For anyone commuting to Québec City or Lévis five days a week, that means far fewer stops. And there is nothing to plug in: regenerative braking captures energy every time you slow down and sends it back to the battery.
Jeep 4x4, built for the winters we actually get
Jeep Active Drive all-wheel drive comes standard. Always on and fully automatic, it sends power to the rear wheels the moment it senses a loss of grip. In November, when the first wet snow lands on pavement that is still warm, that is exactly the kind of help you want underneath you.
The Selec-Terrain traction management system adds four driving modes: auto, sport, snow, and sand and mud. Snow mode softens throttle response so the wheels do not spin on an icy hill or an uncleared driveway. Ground clearance of 20.3 cm, or 8 inches, rounds out the picture: a plough bank, a soaked forest road or an uneven cottage entrance are all cleared without holding your breath.
Up to 3,500 lb of towing, thanks to the trailer tow package
This unit was ordered with the trailer tow package, which unlocks the full 1,587 kg, or 3,500 lb, rating, the best in the mid-size hybrid SUV segment. That is not a theoretical number: it covers a utility trailer, a small hybrid-style travel trailer, a fishing boat or two snowmobiles on a deck trailer. Plenty of competing hybrids give up towing the moment they electrify. Here you keep the fuel savings during the week and the ability to pull on the weekend.
Special-edition looks, from steel oxide grey to agave blue
The 85th Anniversary Edition is not just a badge on the tailgate. It brings exclusive wheels in a steel oxide grey finish, agave blue 85th anniversary badging and a visual signature that sets it apart from the rest of the lineup in a parking lot.
The Silver Zynith paint on this unit was ordered in monotone configuration, meaning the roof matches the body colour rather than contrasting in black. The result is cleaner and more classic, and it puts the focus on the squared-off silhouette and the seven-slot grille. Lighting is full LED front and rear, including headlamps, taillamps and daytime running lamps, which helps on unlit country roads.
A cabin with room to breathe, and sky overhead
The seats are trimmed in perforated Capri leatherette in Global Black, lifted by the Mayan gold stitching specific to the anniversary edition and seat labels in agave blue and Mayan gold. It is the kind of detail that gives the cabin a personality few mid-size SUVs bother with.
Heated front seats are standard, which is non-negotiable from January through March. The two-panel panoramic sunroof fitted to this unit brings natural light to both rows and makes long drives noticeably less closed-in for rear passengers.
On space, the 2026 Cherokee swings hard: 951 L, or 33.6 cubic feet, behind the second row, and up to 1,934 L, or 68.3 cubic feet, once the seatbacks are folded. Strollers, hockey bags and a week's worth of luggage go in without negotiation. Jeep also claims unsurpassed rear hip room in the class, which matters when three teenagers share the bench.
Uconnect 5 and a fully digital driver's cockpit
The 31.2 cm, or 12.3 inch, touchscreen is tied to Uconnect 5, one of the quickest interfaces in the industry. In front of the driver, a 10.25 inch digital instrument cluster shows speed, navigation, hybrid energy flow and driver assistance information, depending on what you choose to put front and centre.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly. You get in, your phone stays in your pocket, and your music, messages and route appear on screen. When you make several stops a day, never reaching for a cable becomes a habit fast.
More than 140 safety features
Jeep counts more than 140 standard and available safety features on the 2026 Cherokee, and the essentials are already there with nothing to tick off.
- Standard Active Driving Assist, which keeps the vehicle centred in its lane and can accelerate or brake as needed
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, able to bring the vehicle to a complete halt
- Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, with pedestrian detection and emergency braking
- Active Lane Management, which applies a gentle steering correction if you drift
- Drowsy Driver Detection
- Rain-sensing wipers
In February slush, none of that is a gimmick. It is one less thing to carry mentally.
A warranty that covers the battery too
The 2026 Cherokee is backed by a 3 year or 60,000 kilometre basic warranty and a 5 year or 100,000 kilometre powertrain warranty, whichever comes first. The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 kilometres, and that coverage is transferable to the next owner. Good news for the budget: the hybrid Cherokee follows a maintenance schedule comparable to a conventional gas vehicle.
Why buy at Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler

- You will never hunt for a charging station, not on a road trip and not at the cottage
- You will appreciate how quiet it is in town, when the electric side takes over in traffic
- You will use the cargo area more than you expected, because 1,934 L swallows just about anything

Frequently asked questions
Does the 2026 Jeep Cherokee need to be plugged in?
No, and that is exactly the point. It is a self-charging hybrid: the battery replenishes itself through the gas engine and regenerative braking while you drive. No charging station, no cable, no charging time to plan around. You fill it with fuel the way you always have, simply less often.
What kind of fuel consumption should I expect?
The 2026 Cherokee posts combined consumption as low as 6.3 L/100 km, which is impressive for an all-wheel-drive mid-size SUV, with total range of up to 800 kilometres on one tank. Winter heating and towing will move those numbers, but the electric side does most of its work at low speed, exactly where a gas engine is least efficient.
How much can it tow?
With the trailer tow package fitted to this unit, the Cherokee is rated to pull up to 1,587 kg, or 3,500 lb, the best figure in the mid-size hybrid SUV segment. That covers a utility trailer, a small hybrid-style travel trailer, a fishing boat or two snowmobiles on a deck trailer. For a full-size travel trailer, look at a Grand Cherokee instead.
How does it behave in a Quebec winter?
Jeep Active Drive all-wheel drive is standard and works continuously, with no input from the driver. Selec-Terrain adds a snow mode that manages traction to limit wheelspin from a standstill and on hills. Ground clearance of 20.3 cm helps you get over plough banks at the end of the driveway.
What exactly does the 85th Anniversary Edition add?
This special edition marks Jeep's 85th year with exclusive steel oxide grey finish wheels, agave blue 85th anniversary badging, Mayan gold stitching in the cabin and seat labels in agave blue and Mayan gold. This unit adds perforated Capri leatherette in Global Black, monotone Silver Zynith paint, the two-panel panoramic sunroof and the trailer tow package.
Which driver assistance systems are included?
Active Driving Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with pedestrian detection, Active Lane Management, Drowsy Driver Detection and rain-sensing wipers are all standard. On the highway, adaptive cruise combined with lane centring makes a real difference to fatigue on longer drives.
Is a hybrid more expensive to maintain?
No. Jeep confirms the hybrid Cherokee follows a maintenance schedule comparable to a conventional gas vehicle, with no extra visits. The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 kilometres, and that warranty transfers if you sell the vehicle. Regenerative braking also tends to be easier on brake pads, since the electric motor handles part of the slowing down.
