The options in the cabin are interesting multimedia system Harmann-Kardon, which has an output of 825 watts and Satellite Radio SIRIUS.
Power is from an all-new, all-aluminum 3.6-liter dohc 60-degree V-6 with variable valve timing, 290 bhp at 6400 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque peaking at 4800 rpm. A smooth revver in the modern vein, the V-6 gives good if not overwhelming power at the Cherokee’s approximate 4600-lb. curb weight. The V-6 is rated to tow 5000 lb.
