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.
