About This 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus

At 95,836 miles, this 2018 Cherokee sits in a sweet spot for used SUV shoppers. Jeep Cherokees are well-documented for lasting well past 150,000 miles with routine maintenance, meaning there's plenty of life left in this vehicle. The Latitude Plus trim sits above the base Latitude, meaning the original buyer already opted for a more comfortable, well-equipped configuration. Whether you're commuting daily through Metro Detroit traffic or heading up north for a weekend trip, this SUV was built to handle both with ease.
 

2018 Jeep Cherokee Performance and Engine

Under the hood of this Cherokee is Jeep's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6, one of the most dependable engines in FCA's lineup. It produces around 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque, giving you confident passing power on the highway and smooth acceleration around the city. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, this drivetrain is tuned for efficiency and responsiveness — though early Cherokee 9-speeds did receive software updates over the years, and by the 2018 model year, most of those refinements were already in place.

The full 4WD system is the real star for Michigan buyers. Whether you're navigating icy streets in Dearborn, slushy conditions near Ann Arbor, or unpaved roads up near Traverse City, 4WD gives you traction and stability where a standard FWD crossover would struggle. The Cherokee also offers decent ground clearance, making it more capable than your average car-based crossover.
 

Jeep Cherokee Features and Interior

Latitude Plus Trim Highlights

The Latitude Plus trim adds meaningful upgrades over the standard Latitude that make a real difference in day-to-day comfort. Expect features that typically include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and an upgraded Uconnect infotainment system. The interior is designed with practicality in mind — rear passengers have solid legroom for an SUV in this class, and cargo space behind the rear seats is ample for groceries, luggage, or gear.
 

Technology and Connectivity

The 2018 Cherokee Latitude Plus was offered with Uconnect 4 featuring a touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth, and available navigation. The driver-assist technology suite on the Latitude Plus makes this one of the more safety-conscious configurations in the Cherokee lineup for this model year.
 

Jeep Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee has a solid reliability track record, particularly models equipped with the 3.2L V6 rather than the smaller 4-cylinder option. Owners consistently report the V6 to be smoother, more responsive, and more durable over high mileage. The 9-speed transmission received a software overhaul in earlier Cherokee model years, and by 2018, the calibration issues that plagued earlier units had largely been resolved. Routine maintenance — oil changes, brake service, and fluid flushes — is all this engine really demands to keep it running strong. Jeep's dealer network and parts availability are excellent, making ownership straightforward and cost-effective in the Detroit area.
