This is a no-surprises kind of deal for the right buyer.
 

2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Elite Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Jeep's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 engine paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission — a combination that delivers a balanced blend of power and efficiency. The Pentastar V6 produces 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque, giving the Cherokee Trailhawk Elite confident acceleration on surface streets, freeway on-ramps, and yes, off-road trails alike. The 9-speed automatic transmission is designed to keep the engine in its optimal powerband whether you're cruising the 710 or crawling over rocky terrain.

The Trailhawk Elite's 4WD system isn't just a checkbox — it's Jeep's Selec-Terrain system with a dedicated low-range setting and a locking rear differential. The Trailhawk trim also comes from the factory with skid plates, heavy-duty tow hooks, and elevated ground clearance compared to the standard Cherokee models. Whether you're heading to the Angeles National Forest, the Mojave Desert, or just need extra traction during wet Southern California winters, this Cherokee is genuinely built for it.
 

Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Elite Features and Interior

The Trailhawk Elite sits at the top of the Trailhawk sub-lineup, which means it brings a premium layer of comfort to an already trail-ready platform. Expect features such as heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, leather-trimmed seating surfaces, a larger Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, remote start, and a full suite of driver assistance technologies including blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and forward collision warning.

Inside, the cabin is designed to accommodate five passengers comfortably, with a well-organized center console, intuitive controls, and enough cargo room to make weekend getaways genuinely practical. The dual-zone automatic climate control ensures everyone stays comfortable regardless of what the LA basin is doing outside.
 

Jeep Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Elite benefits from a significant redesign that Jeep rolled out for the 2019 model year, addressing many of the concerns owners had with earlier-generation Cherokees. The 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 is widely regarded as one of Fiat Chrysler's most reliable engines — it's been used across multiple platforms and has a strong track record when maintained with regular oil changes. The 9-speed transmission did receive some criticism in earlier Cherokee models, but by the 2019 model year, Jeep had addressed the most common calibration complaints through software updates.

Owners of the 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite generally praise its off-road capability, comfortable highway manners, and solid build quality. Routine maintenance — oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, transmission fluid service, and keeping up with spark plugs around 100K miles — goes a long way in keeping these trucks running strong. At 113,285 miles, a well-maintained example is comfortably in mid-life territory for this platform.
