Jeep Cherokee

The Cherokee’s cabin has just the kind of no-nonsense look you might expect from a Jeep. The driver is presented with a range of big buttons that couldn’t be easier to find and press, but operating the touch-screen display is a little tricker - with some odd menu layouts and small on-screen buttons making it tricky to use on the move. The screen is big and bright though, and along with the digital display between the dials on top-trim models – gives the cabin a high-tech feel. Happily, this modernity hasn’t come at the expense of basics like a good driving position. Admittedly, some drivers may want more reach adjustment on the two-way adjustable steering wheel, and the driving position is more upright than you would find in a conventional hatchback, but with six-way adjustment on the driver’s seat, most people can get comfortable. From here, they’ll see that, high on the dash, the quality of materials is passable, but the lower down they look, the cheaper-looking and less attractive the materials become - especially the shiny, lacquered 'wood' finish on high-spec versions.
