About This 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude

At 131,847 miles, this Cherokee is firmly in its second chapter — and that's not a bad thing. The 2016 Jeep Cherokee was built to last well into six-figure mileage territory when properly maintained, and buyers who do their homework often find that a well-kept Cherokee at this mileage stage represents exceptional value compared to newer models with inflated sticker prices.

The Latitude trim sits in the sweet spot of the Cherokee lineup — above the base Sport but offering genuine content that makes daily life easier. If you need a budget-friendly 4WD SUV in Detroit that doesn't sacrifice too much comfort, this rig is worth your time.

2016 Jeep Cherokee Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Jeep's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission — one of the more talked-about combinations in this generation of Cherokee. The Pentastar V6 is genuinely one of Chrysler/FCA's most reliable engines, producing around 271 horsepower and delivering a confident, smooth power delivery that makes highway merging and passing feel effortless.

The 9-speed automatic did have a learning curve in early production years, but by the 2016 model year, software updates had addressed most of the shift quality complaints that plagued earlier units. Paired with four-wheel drive, this Cherokee is equipped to handle Michigan winters with confidence — whether you're navigating downtown Detroit streets after a snowstorm or heading up north toward Traverse City or the Upper Peninsula.

Jeep Cherokee Features and Interior

Latitude Trim Standard Equipment

The Latitude trim brings a meaningful step up in features over the base Sport. Buyers can expect heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry, and Jeep's Uconnect infotainment system with a touchscreen interface. The Uconnect system is consistently praised by owners for its responsiveness and ease of use — a genuine standout in its class for the 2016 model year.
 

Comfort and Practicality

Inside, the Cherokee Latitude offers a comfortable, upright seating position that many drivers prefer over lower crossovers. Rear passenger space is adequate for adults, and the cargo area is versatile with the 60/40 split-folding rear seats. For families in Dearborn, Southfield, or Warren who need a do-everything daily driver, the interior practicality is a real selling point.

Jeep Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 Jeep Cherokee has a reputation that's more nuanced than its critics suggest. The Pentastar V6 engine in this vehicle is widely regarded as one of the most dependable powerplants in FCA's lineup, with documented cases of vehicles exceeding 200,000 miles with routine maintenance. Owners consistently highlight the engine's longevity as a major confidence point.

Common ownership advice for high-mileage Cherokees includes staying current on transmission fluid changes — especially given the 9-speed unit — along with routine transfer case and differential fluid maintenance for 4WD models. Buyers who invest in basic preventive care typically report few major issues. At this mileage, a pre-purchase inspection is always smart, and Best of Michigan Auto Sales encourages informed buyers.
