2014 Jeep Cherokee has been named “Northwest Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year” by the Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA). In addition, the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee was named the winner of the Premium Standard Utility class, and the 2014 Jeep Cherokee also was the winner of the Compact Utility class.

“The 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk was named the winner based on its outstanding performance, off-road capabilities, features, fuel economy and value after rigorous testing,” commented Ryan Douthit, Co-Chair of the event.

“The new Cherokee represents a near-perfect blend of the features and performance that northwest buyers expect.”, he added.

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee sets new standards in the mid-size SUV segment. It delivers improved fuel economy, superior on-road ride and handling, revolutionary design, world-class craftsmanship, clever functionality and versatility, more than 70 safety and security features and user-friendly technology. There is also unmatched off-road capability while not sacrificing on-road ride and handling, comfort or segment-leading features.

It also has  an unprecedented combination of best-in-class fuel economy and driving range, available clean-diesel technology. The manufacturer has  recorded the best two sales months in its 73-year history in March and April. Both Cherokee and Grand Cherokee recorded more than 15,000 sales.

It has been announced that the 2014 Jeep Cherokee will include a revolutionary body sealer. The latter will deliver a tranquil driving experience and at the same will contribute towards enhanced weight-reduction, cost-savings and sustainability.

To be more specific, special applicators inject unique acoustic foam into strategic locations of the Jeep’s body structure. The injected foam blocks additional and unwanted noise which gets inside the cabin.

Additionally, because of the density of the foam it is much lighter than the traditionally utilized acoustic material. The result is weight savings of up to 1.5 lbs. per vehicle, which also effects in an enhanced fuel economy and better handling.

Another good benefit of the newly use material is that it also minimizes the impact on the environment. It was developed with and supplied by Dow Automotive Systems, BETAFOAM™ Renue. In fact, the foam comprises of a soy-based product instead of the usually used petroleum.

Again, because of the lower density of the material, the vehicle requires less of it, and this eventually results in achievement of the desired performance and to reduced cost. Furthermore, the new foam bolsters 10 locations of the Cherokee’s body structure.

They feature the A- and B-pillars and rear wheelwells. Due to its lower viscosity, it also is easier for the engineers to operate with and affords greater logistical flexibility for the plant.

Jeep has announced the new 2014 Cherokee, which will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show. For 2014, Jeep brings the Cherokee name back to North America with the debut of its all-new mid-size sport-utility vehicle.

The exterior is very different from that we are used to see in Cherokee. It combines aggressiveness and bold design. The curved griller, thin headlights and the uniquely shaped front hood give the SUV exceptional style.

There is no information about the powertrains, but probably the new Cherokee will be powered by a 2.4 liter four-cylinder petrol and a 3.2 liter V6 for the US market. The Europeans should expect powerful and economical diesel variants.

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee will be built in the United States at Chrysler Group’s Toledo Assembly Plant in Toledo, Ohio, and will arrive in dealer showrooms in the third quarter of this year.
