I owned a 2020 jeep cherokee for about 6 years. It was great at first until winter hit. Every winter it would give me engine issues. It has been to the garage to figure out what needed to be replaced every winter since and it was always something different but the same problem reoccurring every year. I also had the entire radio replaced within the first year and it still wouldn't keep the time correctly. It drove great if it wasn't winter. The panoramic sunroof, heated seats, and heated steering wheel were great perks for the price of the car. The second row could feel tight especially if you have car seats back there. I would proceed with caution because of the mechanical and technology issues I experienced.

We’ve had this car for six years now. No major issues with it. Just not a huge fan of how it drives compared to my Kia. The back seat is tight with our rear facing Britax car seats as my husband is over 6ft. Trunk space is also tight when putting in a full size stroller. This is my husband’s car so we don’t drive it with the kids unless we absolutely have to. Will not fit all of our kids once our third one comes.

I’ve had my Jeep Cherokee for almost 6 years, and it’s been a great vehicle! I’ve had no issues with it, and it’s been quite reliable. I have the Limited trim, which has all the amenities I need, and I love the bright headlights for night driving. Keyless entry is a must. I will never go back. 🤣 It also has a surprisingly large trunk, which is fantastic. The second row is a little small but fits two booster seats well. The buckles were a little tricky at first with the boosters, but we got used to them. I had a rear facing car seat for a short time and that did not fit with the 2 boosters so 3 across would be tricky. But basically, it’s been an affordable, dependable SUV, and I’ve been really happy with it!

This car is a great option for 1-2 kids! Big enough for a small family. The second row is a wide enough for car seats and boosters. Trunk space is great too! I had my Jeep for over 3 years and never had any major issues with it.

I really loved this car! I only got rid of it because I was having a second child and wanted more space. The second row worked okay for one although I like to be able to get in the back with the kids and that wouldn’t have been possible with this car.

Worked great for one kid, ok with 2 and we managed with 3. We had to get a new car when our oldest was ready for a booster, there was no room to buckle with 2 other car seats installed. Trunk space was amazing.

Second row is not three across friendly, but great for two kids in car seats. We have Chicco Key Fits. Trunk space is reasonable. Good, zippy car that does very well in winter weather.

Bought the car with the possibility of 3 across one day. I have the hybrid and love the vehicle performance. We haven’t had issues other than recalls, which were more so monitoring. I wish it had overhead vents in the second row but the cargo room is excellent. It’s incredibly comfortable and stylish.

This car has been great for our family! I’ve had two convertible car seats in it the entire time I’ve owned it. We usually have the third row down and have tons of trunk space.

Got this car a while engaged and had no family planning in mind when purchasing it. Fast forward a year and a half we brought home our first child in it and it was less than ideal. A rear facing infant seat does not fit well in this car at all it could only fit on the passenger side which left the passenger very little to no leg room. My husbands knees were literally in the dash board. We ultimately traded it in early for our palisade due to the safety of no space for passengers with the car seat and upgraded to something that will fit our family as it grows.
