About This 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude

At 96,537 miles, this Cherokee sits right in the sweet spot for used SUV shoppers — enough highway miles to be priced well below new, but well within the range where the 3.2L V6 Cherokee has plenty of reliable life left to give. The Latitude trim is one of the most popular configurations on the Cherokee lineup for good reason: it strikes the right balance between affordability and a genuinely comfortable, feature-rich experience. Whether you're a first-time buyer or trading up from an older vehicle, this is a no-nonsense SUV that delivers daily.
 

2016 Jeep Cherokee Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Jeep's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6, producing around 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, this engine gives you smooth, confident acceleration whether you're merging onto I-75, loading up for a weekend trip up north, or just getting through rush hour on Woodward Avenue. The 9-speed transmission was a notable upgrade in the Cherokee lineup, offering better fuel economy than older configurations while still delivering responsive power on demand.

The 4-wheel drive system on this Cherokee means you're equipped for whatever Michigan weather throws at you — ice, slush, packed snow, or muddy back roads. This isn't a part-time system you have to think about activating manually; the Cherokee's 4WD setup is engineered for real-world confidence in mixed conditions.

2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Features and Interior

The Latitude trim brings a solid package of comfort and technology features that make every drive more enjoyable. Buyers can typically expect features like Uconnect infotainment, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, dual-zone climate control, power windows and locks, a power driver's seat, and keyless entry. The interior is practical and well-organized, with enough passenger and cargo space to handle family trips, Costco runs, or gear for weekend adventures up to Traverse City or Mackinac Island.

The Cherokee's interior design prioritizes usability over flash — and that's a good thing. Controls are intuitive, sight lines are excellent, and the raised ride height gives you a commanding view of traffic without the bulk of a full-size SUV.

Jeep Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

The 3.2L Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee has a strong reputation for durability when properly maintained. Across owner reviews and long-term tests, this engine is regularly cited as one of its strong suits. The 9-speed transmission had some early-generation growing pains in 2014 and 2015 models, but by the 2016 model year, Jeep had issued multiple software updates that significantly improved shift smoothness and responsiveness. A 2016 model represents a more refined ownership experience than the first-generation 9-speed Cherokees.

Routine maintenance — oil changes every 5,000-7,500 miles, keeping an eye on transmission fluid, and regular brake and tire rotation — is all it typically takes to keep a Cherokee like this running strong well past 150,000 miles. Parts availability is excellent, and Detroit-area mechanics are very familiar with Jeep service needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Latitude trim include on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee?

The Latitude trim adds features like Uconnect Bluetooth infotainment, a rearview camera, 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, fog lights, power driver seat, and dual-zone climate control over the base Sport trim — delivering a noticeably more comfortable and connected driving experience.
 

Is 4WD worth it on a Jeep Cherokee in Michigan?

Absolutely. Michigan winters are no joke, and 4WD provides meaningful traction advantages on snow-covered and icy roads that front-wheel drive simply can't match. For drivers in metro Detroit, Flint, Lansing, or anywhere in the Upper Peninsula, 4WD is a genuine safety and peace-of-mind upgrade.

The 3.2L V6 Cherokee with 9-speed automatic is EPA-rated around 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, making it reasonably efficient for a 4WD V6 SUV — particularly on Michigan highway drives.
