Buying Tips for the 2016 Jeep Cherokee (KL)
- The 9-speed automatic gearbox is the biggest concern; test it thoroughly for hesitant shifts, clunking, or holding gears too long.
- Check the operation of the 4WD system, particularly on Trailhawk models, to ensure the rear axle engages when required.
- Listen for knocking from the front suspension, as the heavy diesel engine accelerates wear on bushes and top mounts.
- Inspect the infotainment system (Uconnect); early versions are prone to freezing and dropping Bluetooth connections.
- Verify the service history for the Multijet diesel; missed oil changes can quickly lead to turbo or DPF failure.
