The Jeep Cherokee Sport is a five-door, five-seat medium SUV, and it's only available in automatic front-wheel drive guise.

It's powered by a 130kW/229Nm 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which is backed by a traditional nine-speed automatic transmission. There's no manual version available.

The Sport costs $35,950 before on road costs, and sits below the $41,950 AWD Longitude, the $46,950 4x4 V6 Limited, and the $48,450 4x4 V6-powered Trailhawk.

Updated for 2019 with new front and rear bumpers, LED lights front and rear, and a composite bonnet and tailgate, the Sport comes with cloth trim, 17-inch alloys, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.

All Cherokees are equipped with AEB, lane departure warning and rear cross traffic alert as standard.

Tim lives in Wollongong, NSW, and is married with three double-digit age kids… two of who are learning to drive. One’s already learned to race, with 16-year-old Max helping Tim to build and run his only car – a track-registered Honda Civic EG.
