All-new Jeep Cherokee Overland Review - Is this offroad legend now just a luxury family car?

[@leealbertyn6390]

Disappointing review to say the least. Not sure if the presenter needs a little more practice and a confidence (sorry - just my opinion) or if the problem lies with the editing of the final product. The review felt rushed, I’ll-informed (doesn’t know where Jeep places it’s volume buttons behind the steering), confusing (“feels underpowered” but has “plenty of power to spare”) and it’s “Cherokee” not “Cheriokee”.

[@nickwest2158]

It's only available in the one engine I don't like (3.6 V6). Would have loved this thing with the 3.0 V6 diesel, 5.7 V8 petrol or 6.4 SRT

[@ntsax_roguemainde9608]

Only for now, spoke to some gents at the Jeep dealer and said they will come later.

[@johnhanslo4005]

I just love off-road

[@rickyv2844]

Did u say 344Nm this should have around 500-600Nm for its size.

[@Jacobofski]

The volume controls are on the back of the steering wheel.

[@andreipretorius92]

Love this Jeep. The volume and skip track buttons are behind the steering wheel, it how Jeep can add more buttons on the steering wheel. Great review

[@Carscoza]

Thanks! I found those pesky hidden buttons on my way home. I thought they were part of the flappy paddle 🙈🤣

[@andreipretorius92]

@@Carscoza I kind of prefer them being on the back, maybe I got used to them. It’s easier to use them

[@kevgits]

344Nm is paltry for such a large vehicle. It's not as mean as it looks.

[@farainyika2365]

True. Big SUVs thrive via torque.

[@wadesolomon2484]

Crazy to think that a Hyundai Santa Fe, although not much smaller than this, but still smaller, has over 100Nm more torque. And it's not even an offroading SUV, it's way to close to the ground. My father has a Santa Fe and the engine is a peach!

Kia Sportage review

[@manyovumvuleni7940]

Disappointing review as I picked up that the reviewer is not too familiar with the Jeep brand. Would've been great for him to be fully orientated on the vehicle features before trying to do this review.

[@mycarguysandton]

If you are going to review a car maybe you should do some proper research and have at least some product knowledge without just "winging" it. In my opinion you have done a terrible job showcasing the Jeep referring to it by the wrong name duting the video (the Cherokee is a completelydifferent vehicle), not knowing the steering functionality (all modern jeeps gave volume up and down and other buttons on the back of the steering wheel) then comparing the 7 slot Jeep grill synonymous with the Jeep brand on pretty much all platforms and compare that to a freaking Suzuki Spresso. Do you even know what the 7 Slots symbolise??? Time for you to return to basics before doing any more reviews. By all means do a review but at keast now what. You are talking about.

[@angiyikuswela]

Not a good reviewer. Or bad script.

[@nkgudih]

Who in his righteous mind will still be looking to buy the most unreliable Jeep in 2023

[@ishaqthkr]

It's a Jeep, you shouldn't go off-road with it unless there's a Toyota behind it

[@mzwandilejanuary4222]

I'd happily wait for 3 years and buy it on the second hand market, by then it would be a third of its price.

[@garybloom7445]

and totally unreliable.............

[@CJr_M]

In 3 or even 4 years time it's definitely not going to be a third and definitely not even half of it's original price. The car market has changed these last 3 years.

[@brainsmatterpodcast]

@@CJr_M here they’re going for a half to a third after two years. Grand Cherokee SRT8 is RRP at $AUD97,450 first search I found doing a second hand search was a 2019 one for $30,500. Whilst what you say about the second hand market is 100% true, it doesn’t generally apply to brands with terrible reputations like Chrysler/Jeep. Toyotas here are going for more than they were new.

[@CJr_M]

@@brainsmatterpodcast yes, that I know of, but your market is totally different to ours.

[@mukaranga]

😂😂 with a millions things to fix

[@jjbrown396]

A bit of a disappointing review. The cross cuts to the axel twisters were particularly irritating as I wanted to see the full obstacle and whether Jeep have actually made some improvements to their quadra Trac system.

[@fikimaroo2342]

the volume buttons are behind the steering wheel, where you wwould usually find shifting pedals

[@keloduma]

Yupp

[@hardusleroux5218]

volume controls located at the back of the steering wheel underneath the flappy paddles 1:52

[@Carscoza]

Thanks, I managed to find them on the drive back 🙈 I thought it was part of the flappy paddle, feels so hidden, but nice placement.

[@mduduzimaphumulo2228]

I believe there are extra buttons near the shift paddles behind the steering wheel. Maybe that's where "volume control" is?

[@THESLlCK]

yes, just like the last grand cherokee

[@dianvandermerwe]

Yeah hes a chop, most FCA products have them on the back

[@JacquesDicks-w9q]

You are 100% correct. My wife drive a new Jeep and there are 2 sets of buttons behind the steering wheel. On each side. One set volume up down and the other set for choosing between radio channels or changing songs on music library.

[@mrhowmuch]

If there’s one thing I like about the interior , it’s definitely the extra screen for the front passenger.
