2017 Jeep Cherokee at Three Rivers for Pittsburgh, PA

If you want a compact SUV that's comfortable in a cramped city, on fast highways, and when taking on muddy trails and rocks, there is only one option: the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. The 2017 Jeep Cherokee is a terrific model, bursting with originality yet offering a reliably comfortable driving experience. The Cherokee is a beautifully designed compact SUV, and what makes the Jeep Cherokee a standout within the segment is its unmatched off-road capability with the Trailhawk trim.

Under the Cherokee's Hood
