For the third time this year, Jeep Australia has increased the pricing of the fifth-generation Cherokee mid-size SUV.
At $38,250 plus on-road costs, the entry-level Sport is the only unchanged Cherokee variant, with the mid-range Limited and flagship Trailhawk and S-Limited all now $300 dearer, at $50,750, $53,450 and $53,450 respectively.
Speaking to CarsGuide, a Jeep Australia spokesperson confirmed no changes have been made to the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Nissan X-Trail, Hyundai Tucson and Mitsubishi Outlander rival’s standard specification.
Instead, they said “the usual external factors”, likely including exchange-rate pressures, were behind the mid-size SUV’s price rises this time around.
For reference, the Sport went up $300 and the Limited, Trailhawk and S-Limited rose $500 about two months ago. And back in February, the Trailhawk became $2700 dearer in exchange for the addition of the previously optional Premium Package.
The Sport is the only front-wheel-drive version, with it powered by a 130kW/229Nm 2.4-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine.
A 200kW/315Nm 3.2-litre naturally aspirated V6 petrol engine is used by all other grades, which feature one of two versions of Jeep's four-wheel-drive system.
Either way, a nine-speed torque-converter automatic transmission is fitted as standard.
