The 2021 Jeep Cherokee Altitude is a compact SUV that can sprint up to 100km/h in just 8 seconds - branding it faster than many of its top competitors, such as the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek (10.0 seconds) and the 2021 Hyundai Kona SEL (9.2 seconds). It's a spirited ride that will thrill.Meanwhile, its Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and Engine Stop/Start (ESS) technology allow it to offer impressive performance without excessive fuel use - fusing quick speeds with economy. Here is a closer look at this auto's powertrain.
2021 Jeep Cherokee Altitude: Engine Specifications
Engine: 3.2L Pentastar V6
Horsepower: 271
Torque: 239 lb-ft
Transmission: Nine-Speed Automatic
City Economy: 9.6 L/100km
Highway Economy: 12.7L/100km
The Jeep Cherokee Altitude is the best in its sector in terms of hauling, pulling up to 2,041 kg when properly equipped. The available Trailer Tow Group has essential features like heavy-duty engine cooling, a 4 and 7-pin wiring harness, a 3.517 final drive ratio, and a Class III hitch receiver.

The 2021 Jeep Cherokee 80th Anniversary Edition has custom-designed interior and sleek exterior appearance features, making it a stylish option for every adventure. In addition to turning heads, however, it is also a family vehicle that has a full range of safety components. These systems provide both active and passive protection for passengers; and they ensure that fashion doesn't sacrifice function.Let's examine the key safety components of the new 80th Anniversary Edition.Â
2021 Jeep Cherokee: Safety Features
Airbags: 8, including knee protection
Head Restraints: Reactive
Power Locks: Speed-Sensitive
Parking Brake: Electronic with Safehold
Blind-Spot Monitoring: Standard
Parking: Park-Sense Rear Assist
Accident Response: EARS
The Cherokee 80th Anniversary Edition promotes a safer driving experience with an array of active sensors. In addition to standard blind-spot monitoring, you also get rear cross-path detection. These systems guard your back and sides against unforeseen dangers. Meanwhile, the available Adaptive Cruise Control ensures that there is always an appropriate distance between your Jeep and other vehicles on the highway.Â
Compare this to the Cherokee's leading competitor - the 2021 Kia Telluride. This platform features only six standard airbags and lacks active head restraints. This compromises each rider's overall safety.

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica and the Honda Odyssey are both capable family-friendly vehicles with eight-passenger capacities and a full range of impressive safety features. However, the two models differ when it comes to their drivetrains and their abilities to handle different road conditions, like snow-covered streets and unpaved paths. To see which model may be right for you, check out this comparison review.Â
2021 Â Chrysler Pacifica
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 287
Drive Type: Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive

Â
2021 Honda Odyssey
Engine: 3.5L V6
Torque: 262 lb.-ft
Horsepower: 280
Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
While both models offer comparable torque, the Pacifica does come out slightly ahead in terms of horsepower. However, its available all-wheel drive system and features, such as Engine Start Stop (ESS) technology, make it a more capable and efficient choice when compared to the Honda. An example of this is the towing capacity. Despite their similarly-sized V6 engines, the Chrysler minivan can haul an estimated 1,633 kg, which is 100 kg more than the Odyssey.Â
