A hybrid SUV with room to roam
Drive a Cherokee
The Cherokee is back for 2026 as an all-new, hybrid-only compact SUV with standard 4x4. After a three-year break, it returns as the efficient pick for any Jeep rental search.
On Turo, you book your Cherokee from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Choose your dates, your location, and the trim you want, then take the wheel.

Fuel-efficient hybrid power
The Cherokee pairs a 1.6L turbo four-cylinder with two electric motors for 210 hp and 230 lb-ft of torque. EPA estimates land at 39 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 37 mpg combined, and the automaker claims 500+ miles per tank. You'll spend less time at the gas station and more time chasing the next scenic overlook.
Cargo space for the whole crew
You get 33.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. That's enough for a family's suitcases, a cooler, and a folded stroller. Fold the second row and the space grows to 68.3 cubic feet, roomy enough for beach chairs, boogie boards, and a week of luggage.
The automaker says the new Cherokee offers 30% more cargo capacity than the previous generation. A longer body helps, stretching past several best-selling compact SUVs. The cabin feels closer to midsize than its class suggests — so you can pack for the trip you have in mind.
Towing capacity for weekend plans
Every Cherokee trim can tow up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. That covers a small utility trailer, a compact teardrop camper, or a pair of bikes on a hitch-mounted rack. It's a smart match for a lake weekend, a move across town, or a paved-road trip to a state park.
Before you book, check the listing to confirm the Cherokee has a hitch and that towing is allowed. A trailer changes how any SUV brakes and accelerates, so leave extra following distance and take turns a little wider. Plan your route on paved roads, and you'll arrive with everything you need.
Stand out with a Cherokee
The Cherokee drives and packs like a bigger SUV — a strong fit for family vacations, airport runs, and long road trips. Standard 4x4 adds confidence when rain or snow rolls in, while 37 mpg combined keeps fuel costs in check. Compare it with other SUV rentals on Turo to find the right fit for your crew.
Top Cherokee features
Standard 4x4 with rear-axle disconnect
Three features set the Cherokee apart: standard 4x4 with rear-axle disconnect, an available 12.3-inch touchscreen setup, and a design shaped by five decades of history.
Every 2026 Cherokee comes with four-wheel drive as standard, so you never have to hunt for the right trim. The system sends power to all four wheels when you need extra grip on wet, snowy, or icy pavement. That's welcome peace of mind on a winter drive to the mountains or a rainy commute in a new city.
When you don't need the extra traction, the rear axle disconnects to cut drag and save fuel. You get all-weather confidence and efficient highway cruising in the same SUV. Whether your forecast calls for sunshine or sleet, the Cherokee adjusts while you focus on the drive.
Tech that keeps you connected
On the Laredo trim, the Cherokee's available tech setup includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, and wireless smartphone connectivity. The wide screen keeps maps, music, and calls easy to read at a glance. The digital cluster puts speed and trip info right in your line of sight.
Wireless connectivity matters most when you're driving an unfamiliar SUV in an unfamiliar place. Pair your phone before you leave the pickup spot, set your destination, and you're ready to roll. You'll skip the cable tangle in the cupholder and keep your playlist going all trip long, which makes a long day behind the wheel feel easier.
Heritage and design
The Cherokee has deep roots — its 1974 brochure was the first to use the term "Sport Utility." The 2026 model carries that story forward with a seven-slot grille and a squared-off rear. Together, they give the Cherokee a crisp, upright stance that looks sharp in any parking garage or hotel driveway.
The lineup spans five trims: Base, Laredo, Limited, Overland, and the 85th Anniversary Edition. Every trim is a hybrid with standard 4x4, so you can choose based on comfort and style. Pick the look that suits your trip, and enjoy driving a piece of SUV history with modern efficiency under the hood.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Cherokee
Get to know your Cherokee
A few quick tips will help you get the most from your Cherokee, including how the hybrid feels and what shapes the price. Here's what to know before you book.
The Cherokee uses an electronically controlled CVT, so acceleration feels smooth and steady instead of stepping through gears. The hybrid system keeps the cabin quiet, especially around town. Regenerative braking recaptures energy as you slow down, which can make the brake pedal feel a little different at first.
Want more space or a different kind of drive? A Jeep Grand Cherokee rental gives you a larger SUV with more room for passengers. A Jeep Wrangler rental offers open-air driving for sunny days.
Cherokee driving tips
Ease off the accelerator early and let regenerative braking slow you down — it recharges the battery and saves fuel. The Cherokee runs on regular 87-octane gas, and you never need to plug it in.
Stick to paved roads for your trip. Off-roading is not permitted on Turo.
How much does it cost to rent a Cherokee?
Cherokee rental prices on Turo vary by location, trip dates, and the specific vehicle you choose. Local vehicle owners set their own prices, and many offer discounts for longer trips.
