2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux | Small Crossover With a V6!

Here's a detailed and in-depth review of the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux. It's rare to find a "compact crossover" with a V6, but here it is! Not only does it have a V6, it also provides some hard to find off-road prowess (sort of), for this class. You'll see the Jeep Cherokee exterior, interior, and we will take this 2021 Cherokee for a test drive.

[@judydavis3449]

I have this vehicle. Love it. Fun to drive

[@glorenzo8900]

I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus and the headlights are the brightest headlights I have ever had on a vehicle.

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

V6 Rules!!!

[@2004cyrus]

Happy Sunday Nolan! Love these intros! I appreciate it so I’m smashing the Like button even tho I’m not into the vehicle. I’m watching it anyway because your vids are like going to church! Lol -

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Haha thank you very much! Happy Sunday to you too!

[@jeremystout412]

I ordered a ‘21 Latitude Lux with the 2.0L Turbo and the amount of torque is crazy! It’s actually fun to drive. I also have gotten up to 35 mpg on the interstate, no complaints there! Mine has the Sangria metallic and the ski grey leather. I will say that I’m impressed with the basic 4x4 system (Active Drive I) I’ve went off the beaten path often even to properties where “4x4 required” is a 4x4 pickup in their mind. If properly equipped the V6 Cherokee can tow 4,500 lbs and the 2.0L Turbo can tow 4,000 lbs, but it you don’t get the heavy duty trans then it is only 2,000 lbs. Excellent review!

[@La-yt1wr]

I love the exhaust sounds from this V6 both this and the discontinued Chrysler 200 sounds amazing, they both have a different exhaust system than the other FCA products with this motor but I'd almost sounds Maserati like when you rev it out.

[@2004cyrus]

Oh wow I didn’t expect that ginormous Pano roof! That is Nice! Definitely not on many of the crossovers in this segment like you said!

[@fallguy4209]

It’s had that option since 2014 lol

[@stacyholt6529]

Hey Nolan. Test drove the 3.2 V6 back to back with the 2.0 turbo. Ordered a 2021 Cherokee Limited High Altitude with the turbo. The V6 is smooth and offers a nice sound but the kick in the back the additional 56 ft-lbs of torque the turbo offers cinched the deal. The lower sidewalls of the 19" wheel/tire combo wakes up the handling with much sharper responses than my '18 Grand Cherokee. The Cherokee is a hefty little guy, but I think that contributes to the solid feel it has. Changes... An additional 1" drop to the drivers seat height (feel like I sit too high at lowest adjustment) and a slightly taller roofline to ease entry. I agree, the lower window trim swoop shape is somehow off putting.

[@2004cyrus]

Wow 4-way lumbar surprises me! I could use that.. I only have 2 way on my seats! Awesome that Jeep gives you those functions on both driver & passenger seat! I like that. Keep us trying. I’ll give them credit this is better than I expected. So that’s great!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yes that’s always a nice feature, then you can get the support right where it’s needed 👍

[@miguelircontar]

Absolutely love that Nissan Titan hat Nolan

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Haha thanks Miguel. I got it at a Nissan event and use it to clip my camera on. I’ll have a new ATL hat for ya showing up later on

[@anandr1385]

Nice review. Seems like a decent vehicle. That sun roof 👌🏽 it’s funny how us guys like a middle console to rest our arms. I feel off balanced when I don’t

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you! Haha so true...it throws me off otherwise. Thanks for watching!

[@2004cyrus]

Oh I do agree about the revised front end! I didn’t like the previous setup where the headlights were divorced from the rest of the lights. This is an improvement in my opinion as well. And I agree this color looks good on the keep. I don’t hate this vehicle but I wouldn’t choose this. I agree about the bent looking bright work that swoops near the side view mirror along the door.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yeah it was just weird before but now after they stopped doing that other companies started doing that lol like Hyundai and Chevy strangely enough

[@2004cyrus]

@@PrimeAutotainment lol exactly that’s weird & kind of funny how the auto industry does!

[@erichmercado]

The V6 engine sound is good...

[@158mollie]

Nice video I just bought 2022 cherokee with 2.0 turbo. the only thing was on spare tire and traffic and weather not working.

[@fallguy4209]

For that 8.4 in screen you can go online and pay for the code to unlock the navigation feature

[@Cleaning_Hero]

I thought the seats were super comfortable and the ride quality to be very smooth in my pothole -ridden town.

[@joskjj3625]

Awesome video, will you do a video on the Cherokee trailhawk as well? Thank you

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you! If I can get ahold of one I’d love to. I don’t get very many Jeep’s but if I can get one!

[@limpunsing224]

Not bad Nice review

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you!

[@mzzzellie]

I recently bought a used 2021 Jeep Latitude Lux and learning something new everyday on it. The one thing that really has me scratching my head over it is the fact that there isn’t the back hatch release button on mine that is shown at 13:00 in this review and that is said to exist in the owner’s manual. I don’t have the hands-free feature, so no icon on key fob either. The only way I have to open the hatch is to manually open it from the back. Nothing I’ve read or seen states that the button shown in this video is not standard. Could I please have any thoughts on this, or if anyone knows where my button might be hiding, please let me know. Thank you.

[@scottjayson72]

Picking mine up tomorrow...where was this video shot? (Nice vid, btw)

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Nice, Enjoy it! Thank you and it was shot in Rockwall, TX

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Awesome

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Hey Leo!

[@matty1053]

It's okay. My parents just got a Cherokee Latitude Lux... IMO the V6 is the only thing that shines with it. Other than that, I'd rather get the Kia Sorrento with the 2.5 turbo. Still cheap feeling buttons, especially the wiper and turn signal stock...

[@claudiomejia1956]

Did you hear the annoying click sound before stopping that the dealer says this type of cars they all have it?

[@enriquetoral3426]

Wow.👍

[@alengreen589]

is Jeep maybe the luxury brand from Fiat ? because the Interior looks like the same in a Fiat car, thanks for the review.

[@59ersfootball]

Will you be reviewing the Grand Cherokee? Much better overall in my opinion

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I agree...I’m not sure. I would hope so at some point but I haven’t heard anything about getting one as of right now

[@59ersfootball]

@@PrimeAutotainment just out of curiosity, how do you decide what cars to review? Are these provided to you?

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Usually they’re provided in a random schedule and I don’t always know what will be coming very long beforehand. There are a few dealerships I can go to and pick some but I don’t have any connections with Jeep dealers

[@2004cyrus]

Have you ever shared a review of your personal cars, Nolan?

[@PrimeAutotainment]

One of my first videos was my car but I deleted it lol. When I reviewed the 2020 Highlander I had our ‘04 Highlander in a small part of that video

[@2004cyrus]

@@PrimeAutotainment oh those Highlander’s are amazing Toyota’s! Good spacious haulers and great for having kids too! Which you do if I recall.

[@vishwaperera8963]

Hi Big fan of your videos can you Please review a Volvo XC90 T8 recharge AWD if you can do it thanks so Much

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you! Unfortunately I’ve never been able to get anything from Volvo, yet. The only Volvo video I have is a rental lol. Hopefully I can soon though!

[@vishwaperera8963]

can you please do that video soon as possible my dad is getting the new Volvo xc9 recharge t8 I want to learn how to use the car when it comes

[@PrimeAutotainment]

That’s sweet! I’d love to get one and hopefully I can but not sure!

[@vishwaperera8963]

@@PrimeAutotainment thanks so much

[@gauravg4927]

Does it have driver seat setting memory?

[@user-fw6xr3ue2q]

He said twice it doesn’t

[@monty0066]

Never can up shift to the top gear 9th. Unless driving on free way with a speed over 77 MPH and force the gear manually to shift to 9ths then you can switch back to auto mood. However, the gear will shift down shortly at the first one foot of elevation or once you barely press down the gas pedal. No matter how fast the speed is accelerating with the 9th gear is almost impossible. If you were on auto mood, the transmission will instantly shift down; whereas if you were on manual mode even hardly depressing the gas pedal with full open throttle the engine will never be able to make it. That’s on 2021 Fully loaded options Limited 4X4. 2019 with the same trim used to be much more responsive. I have another one 2019 with four cylinders 2.4 multi-air direct injection and 9 speed transmission it has never been able to go even on the 8th gear. It can be justified if compared with the 3.2L that produces 119 more horsepower. Other mini competitive SUV like Toyota RAV-4, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 have almost 92 less horsepowers but they are still responsive and consume much less fuel. 271 horsepower with 239 lbs/n of torques are not humble numbers, however useless unless you need to do towing.

[@adrokk2515]

The V6 will tow 4500lbs with a factory tow package.

[@Rob801]

This is s little long… I was in the market for a Tiguan but I wanted the top model (SEL-Plus w/light grey interior) and they’re just not any available. Any other trim level I considered, I was compromising something but still approaching or exceeding 40k otd. That’s just too much to pay and “settle” for something… I was also interested in the Hyundai Tuscan Hybrid Limited. Again, none to be found (in So California/L.A. area). On top of that, every car I did look at (lower trim packages, not the color I wanted, not the interior I wanted etc) the dealers wanted 3-5k over MSRP. I’ve been following the trend but most of them don’t advertise it. It’s not till you call or go in they come clean. I hadn’t thought of Jeep at all. I was set on something else. Then today I saw a Latitude Lux, black with the light leather interior (I really did not want a black interior) at a dealer a few miles from me, did a test drive and bought . It was 3k under MSRP. Nothing hidden, no BS. No trying to up-sell me on this and that. I have a really good gut feeling, am happy and that’s what you want to leave with when you spend hard earned money. I got it for 30k. Again, 10-15k less than what I planned on spending. I’ll drive it happily for a couple years and then see what the market is like. This is the first review I have seen, after buying the car… something I would normally never do 😅. It just felt right,

[@jeffmorse645]

Its so hard to find the light gray interior. The vast majority of Cherokees are black leather it seems.

[@tsherman393]

go off road to really appreciate this vehicle.......

[@wildbill6366]

I think I'd buy the Kia Sorento over that any day... But at least it looks better than it used to..
