The Jeep Cherokee KL, launched for the 2014 model year, represented a radical shift for the nameplate. It replaced the Liberty and moved from a traditional SUV architecture to a car-based crossover platform shared with the Chrysler 200 and Alfa Romeo Giulietta. This change improved on-road comfort and fuel economy, but its controversial split-headlight design was polarizing from the start.
As a modern SUV, the KL isn't a traditional collector car, and most examples continue to depreciate. Its appeal lies in its utility as a daily driver combined with Jeep's brand cachet. The most desirable models are the Trailhawk variants, which feature a more advanced 4x4 system with a locking rear differential, increased ground clearance, and more aggressive styling. These are the versions that attract enthusiasts and hold their value best.
The market for the KL is vast, reflecting its 10-year production run. Early, high-mileage examples are inexpensive, while newer, low-mileage Trailhawk or luxury-trimmed models command much higher prices. A significant 2019 facelift revised the front-end styling to be more conventional, creating a clear distinction in the market between earlier and later models.
Buying Tips
- The 9-speed ZF automatic in early 2014-2015 models can have issues. Test drive thoroughly for rough shifting and check for service records of software updates or replacement.
- Three 4x4 systems were available: Active Drive I, Active Drive II (adds low range), and Active Drive Lock (Trailhawk only, adds locking rear diff). Verify which system is fitted for your intended use.
- The optional 3.2L Pentastar V6 is generally preferred for its power and reliability over the standard 2.4L 4-cylinder. A 2.0L turbo-four became available in 2019.
- When inspecting a Trailhawk model, check underneath for signs of heavy off-road use, including damaged skid plates, suspension components, and underbody scrapes.
