The Jeep Cherokee is back for the 2026 model year, and while the dimensions of the once-popular SUV have grown, the price has not.
The now hybrid-only SUV starts at $36,995, with top trims stretching to $45,995.
Deliveries are planned to begin in late 2025, with Jeep prioritizing the top Limited and Overland trims before cheaper trims arrive in early 2026.
The Jeep Cherokee went on a bit of a sabbatical—which the brand's execs told us was a move they regret—but now it's back! It's got a whole new look and a hybrid powertrain, and it has grown compared with the previous generation.
Despite the three-year gap in the Cherokee's résumé, the price is actually lower for the 2026 model than it was for the 2023 car. There are four trim levels, starting with the $36,995 entry-level base trim. That price makes it $2295 cheaper to get into a 2026 Cherokee than it would have been to get into a new 2023 version. Upgrading to the Laredo brings the price to $39,995.
Moving up to the Limited and Overland trims results in similar steps up in price. The Limited trim carries a starting price of $42,495, with the range-topping Overland starting at $45,595.
All four trims come equipped with the same hybrid powertrain. The setup pairs a 1.6-liter four-cylinder combustion engine with a pair of electric motors. On its own, the four-banger is rated for 177 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. Combined with the electric motors, the system churns out 210 horsepower and 230 pound-feet.
According to Jeep, deliveries for the Limited and Overland trims will start first, and those models will likely begin arriving at dealerships in late 2025. The less-expensive base and Laredo trims will follow in early 2026.
