The 2026 Jeep Cherokee returns as an all-new hybrid SUV, pairing an efficient gas-electric powertrain with the everyday capability Inland Empire drivers expect. Powered by Stellantis’ new 1.6L I4 Turbo Hybrid system — 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque — the redesigned Cherokee earns an EPA-estimated 37 combined mpg and travels more than 500 miles on a single tank, with all-wheel drive standard on every trim. With seating for five and more cargo room than any Cherokee before it, it’s built equally well for the daily Ontario commute and the weekend getaway. With a MSRP starting at $36,995 including destination, it lands competitively in the hybrid compact-SUV class.

Every 2026 Cherokee runs on Stellantis’ new 1.6L I4 Turbo Hybrid system — an internal-combustion engine working with two electric motors and a battery for a combined 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, delivered through an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT). The payoff is an EPA-estimated 39 city / 35 highway / 37 combined mpg and 500-plus miles of range per tank, a meaningful advantage for Inland Empire households watching fuel costs.
Standard Jeep Active Drive I 4×4 (full-time all-wheel drive) with a rear-axle disconnect and Select-Terrain traction management — Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud modes — keeps the Cherokee planted whether you’re handling a sudden downpour on the commute or light-duty weekend driving around Ontario and Norco. With 8 inches of ground clearance and, when properly equipped, up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, it carries Jeep’s capability into a more efficient package. You can view the current hybrid Cherokee inventory to see what’s available now.
The 2026 Cherokee redefines interior utility with a larger cockpit and more storage than any previous generation — roughly 30% more cargo capacity behind the second row. Five passengers ride in a refined cabin finished in a standard Global Black interior theme, with a lighter Arctic interior available on Laredo, Limited, 85th Anniversary Edition, and Overland trims. Jeep leans into sustainability here too, with recycled floor carpets and non-leather seating surfaces. The top-tier Overland adds a unique perforation pattern to its seats, and an available Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof opens the cabin to the Southern California sky.
Technology is standard, not an upcharge. Every trim includes a 10.25-inch full-color digital driver cluster and a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The new Cherokee also comes with Stellantis’ Connect One connected-services package — a 10-year trial covering over-the-air updates, a Jeep smartphone app for remote vehicle functions, and automatic SOS calling. Available upgrades include premium audio, a 360° surround-view camera, a digital rearview mirror, and an Alexa in-vehicle assistant.
The 2026 Cherokee carries 140 standard and available safety and security features. Standard Active Driving Assist — a Level 2 system combining adaptive cruise control with lane centering — works alongside automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, drowsy-driver detection, and rear park assist with rear automatic emergency braking. For families running school drop-offs and errands across Ontario and the surrounding communities, that’s a deep standard safety net.
The 2026 Cherokee keeps the lineup simple — standard hybrid all-wheel drive across the board, with five ways to equip it:

The 2026 Cherokee wears an all-new, boxy, upright body that nods to 50 years of Cherokee heritage while looking distinctly modern — squared-off LED headlamps with U-shaped daytime running lights, Jeep’s iconic seven-slot grille, and jerrican-inspired taillights. Inside, designers built around four motifs: active, playful, practical, and progressive. At 188.1 inches long, 74.7 inches wide, and 67.5 inches tall, it has real presence without losing the agility for everyday driving around Ontario and West Covina.
