The standard 3.7L V-6 PowerTech engine delivers 150 kW of power at 5,200rpm and 312 Nm of torque at 3,800 rpm. This power plant is coupled with the Jeep 45RFE multi-speed electronic automatic transmission and the full time NV242 Selec-Trac transfer case.

The new 2.4L, 4-cyl petrol engine with manual transmission has been added to the Cherokee Sport line up for 2004. Providing access to the legendary Jeep 4WD capability at a lower, more affordable price. The 2.4L I-4 engine produces 108 kW @ 5,200 rpm and 215 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm.

With the recent introduction of the 2.8L diesel engine, Jeep has overcome many traditional diesel issues. This engine combines Common-Rail Direct (CRD) injection with the latest intercooled turbo technology.

The Jeep CRD engine has a high pressure pump to deliver fuel to electronically controlled injectors via a single fuel rail for more precise fuel delivery. The advantage is increased performance, efficiency and comfort. The pump used in the new CRD system is capable of delivering fuel at almost twice the pressure as previous designs.

A diesel engine's performance is governed by the ability to compress large volumes of air into the cylinders for combusting. Cooler air is denser than warmer air and contains more oxygen helping engine function with more power and efficiency. An intercooler is used to cool the compressed air before it enters the combustion chambers.

Our new generation diesel engine's provide best-in-class power and torque with increased fuel efficiency and greatly reduced noise levels.

The 2.8L DOHC direct injection, common rail turbo diesel produces 110 kW at 3,800 rpm and 360 Nm of torque at 1,800 rpm. The diesel engine is mated with a five speed automatic transmission and the Jeep Selec-Trac four wheel drive system.
