The 2017 Jeep Cherokee Overland.

Okay, so the styling is still somewhat (!) controversial.  It's been four years since I saw the first one and the front end is still something I haven't warmed up to.  But the current-generation Jeep Cherokee is what it is and, Godzilla grille aside, it is the right car in the right segment at the right time.

2017 Jeep Cherokee Overland.

Funny how, even if you're not among those voting with your wallet, when mass tastes change, it can affect your view of things.  The Jeep Grand Cherokee, surrounded by compact SUVs, now seems a little big.  Odd, considering that five years ago, we looked at it in sea of Chevy Tahoes and considered it trim.

With bigger fish and smaller all around, the Cherokee now slots into "right-sized".  Its dimensions seem spot-on regardless of your opinion of the styling.  And there's been no small amount of effort put into refinement of the Cherokee, to the point that you'd be excused for thinking you were in the Grand Cherokee.

Of course, a chunk of that premium feel comes from the trim level, and our tester was the Overland.  $37,695 buys you the basics (3.2-liter V6 with nine-speed automatic, a combo that gets an EPA estimate of 18 city/26 highway) pus Bi-Xenon high intensity discharge headlamps, Selec Terrain all-wheel drive, hill start assist, an off-road suspension, a rear backup camera, ParkSense rear park assist system, blind spot and cross-path detection, the premium insulation group, keyless Enter-N-Go, electronic stability control, remote start, all-speed traction control, a leather-wrapped instrument panel, steering wheel (heated and partially wood) and shift knob,  a Uconnect nine-speaker audio system with HDRadio and XMSirius Satellite radio, integrated voice command, dual-zone climate control, memory for radio, driver's seat and exterior mirrors, heated and ventilated power front seats with four-way power lumbar adjust, premium Berber floor mats, 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, LED daytime running headlamps and taillamps, body-colored fascias, a power liftgate and heated exterior mirrors.

That level of standard equipment is such that our tester didn't need much in the way of options. It had three:  The Technology Group (Full speed collision warning with crash mitigation, parallel and perpendicular park assist, adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go, advanced brake assist, rain-sensitive windshield wipers, automatic high beam control and lane departure warning) for $1,645; the Heavy Duty Protection Group (a front suspension skid plate, fuel tank skid plate shield, transmission skid plate, underbody skid plate and a full-size spare tire) for $435; and the nine-speed automatic transmission with hill descent control and Jeep Active Drive II for $1,205.

With $995 destination charge, bottom line was $41,975.  Not cheap by any means, but good value for a well-equipped, right-size SUV that bears the Jeep nameplate and the off-road and foul-weather prowess that involves.

The 2017 Fiat 500X Trekking.

A couple of years ago, the Phoenix Bureau reviewed the Fiat 500X, in Pop trim.  We're here to say that review pretty much nailed it.  Whatever your pre-conceptions of the Fiat 500X, if you haven't driven it, you're probably wrong.

2017 Fiat 500X Trekking.

The biggest misconception is that it's just a Fiat 500 pulled and stretched and tweaked to its absolute limits to cash in on the small crossover SUV craze.

Nope.

The Fiat 500X is actually a purpose-built small crossover SUV that has a styling resemblance to the baby 500.  In fact, the 500X is a very close cousin to the Jeep Renegade (Jeep being a product of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles).  And if it's good enough for Jeep (setting aside the unfortunate first Compass a decade ago), it's very good indeed.  The first few minutes at the wheel convey a sense of solidity and security.  It's nimble, but purposeful.  It's an Italian Jeep.

The Fiat 500X starts at $19,995 for the base Pop model with a 1.4-liter, 160 horsepower turbo four and a six-speed manual transmission.  The Lounge model is a luxury trim, starting at $25,150.  And our tester is the Trekking, which slots in between at $23,350 base.  Both the Trekking and the Lounge get a little something in the engine bay, a 2.4-liter, 180-horsepower four with a nine-speed automatic. EPA fuel economy estimate: 22 city/30 highway.

The 500X also includes 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, wheel arch moldings, satin chrome exterior accents, distinctive front and rear fascias, cornering fog lamps and lower bodyside cladding. And there's a Uconnect 5.0 system with touchscreen, deep-tinted privacy glass and a stone finish instrument panel.

The fact that the Fiat 500X and Jeep Renegade are platform-mates shows just how far we've come from the bad old days of badge engineering (build the same machine, put different names on it).  The exterior styling is very much its own, and the interior is like nothing you'll ever see anywhere but in an Italian vehicle.  We've always been big fans of the thickly-padded seats in the Fiat 500. Glad to see they've carried them over into the 500X as well.

Our tester had options.  The leather-trimmed buckets among them ($900).  There was also Customer Preferred Package 27G, which is the cold weather package of heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a windshield wiper de-icer ($450).

The Advanced Safety Package consists of lane departure warning, full speed forward collision warning, rear parking assist, blind spot monitoring with cross-path detection, automatic high beam control and rain sensitive wipers ($1,295).

The Front Wheel Drive Trekking Premium Package adds 18-inch aluminum wheels, a Beats premium audio system, a dual-pane power sunroof and all-season tires ($1,495).  A cautionary note about that sunroof...the sunshade that comes with it is not solid, but a very fine mesh.  Great for ambient light, yes, but if you live in a hot climate (and it was 107-109 in Sacramento the week we had our tester), it cooks the interior to a point where the climate control has a tough time keeping up.

And finally, the Trekking Popular Equipment Package, with a rear-view backup camera, power 8-way driver's seat and manual passenger seat, with a four-way lumbar adjustment for the driver, dual-zone automatic climate control and ambient lighting ($995).

Add all that up with $995 destination charge and the bottom line is $29,480. That's actually $2,020 less than the loaded Jeep Renegade Limited 4X4 we reviewed earlier this year, and something of a bargain for a loaded small crossover SUV, where price stickers usually end up in the low 30s.

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT.

Apart from the Fiat end of things, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has turned into the toy shop for folks who like their cars speedy.  The new Alfas certainly fill that bill, Chrysler will sell you a 363-horsepower full-size sedan in the 300C, Dodge is giving us 485-horsepower hot rods like the Challenger R/T Scat Pack (to say nothing of the 707-horsepower Hellcat and the coming 808-horsepower Demon) and the Charger R/T as well as its beefier brothers Charger Daytona and Charger R/T Scat Pack.

And Jeep is not left out of the high horsepower fun, either.


The basic formula:  Take a garden-variety Jeep Grand Cherokee, drop in a slightly detuned 475-horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI V8 (it makes 485 in the Challenger), add an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, Brembo brakes, advanced brake assist, an active damping suspension, an electronic rear limited-slip differential, launch control and 20-inch wheels and you have a track-ready SUV.

But those are just the go-fast pieces.  The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT also comes with parallel and perpendicular parking assist, lane departure warning, active on-demand four-wheel drive, full speed forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control with stop, blind spot and cross-path detection, a rear-view camera, keyless entry and keyless go, remote start, electronic stability control , a power liftgate, Bi-Xenon HID headlamps, premium LED foglamps, LED taillamps, rain-sensitive windshield wipers, headlamp washers and a security alarm.

But wait! There's more!  Also standard: black velour floor mats with the SRT logo, silver anodized interior accents, 8-way power driver and passenger seats with memory, a power tilting and telescoping steering column, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a 506-watt, nine-speaker with subwoofer audio system, Uconnect 8.4 navigation, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link.

The price for all that?  $66.795.  So what's the (Almost) 80 Grand reference in the headline about?  It's about $10,500 in optional equipment.  Despite all the ultimate-ness of this ultimate Jeep Grand Cherokee, you can still go higher, and the folks in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles press fleet office did, adding:

• Rear seat dual-screen Blu-Ray/DVD player ($1,995).
• Trailer towing group with a full-size spare wheel and compact spare tire, a 7-pin and 4-pin wiring harness and a Class IV receiver hitch ($995).
• A further upgrade to the audio system, in the form of the SRT high-performance audio package which boosts the wattage to 825 and the speaker count to 19 ($1,995).
• The stock Brembos are mighty fine brakes, but our tester was treated to a high-performance brake upgrade ($1,295).
• A dual-pane panoramic sunroof with suede-like premium headliner ($2,095).
• Run-flat tires ($895).
• Upgraded 20-inch by 10-inch lightweight forged wheels ($1,295).

The 2017 Jeep Compass Limited 4X4.

Nearly five years ago, our Publisher and Executive Editor wrote about the Jeep Compass, noting that it would be leaving the Jeep lineup after 2014.  It was true at the time, but Fiat Chrysler Automobiles changed plans, deciding it would be less than good business to not have an entrant in the rapidly-growing small SUV segment.  So, despite its shortcomings, the first-generation but heavily facelifted Compass soldiered on while a replacement was designed and engineered.

Now it's here---and it is exactly what the Compass should have been all along.

2017 Jeep Compass Limited 4X4.

And unlike the very first 2007 Compass, which was more of a Dodge Caliber dressed up in Jeep's clothing, and infamously the first Jeep not to be trail-rated, on the theory that there was a market for the Jeep name without Jeep capabilites, the new Compass is very much all Jeep.

The new Compass fits almost precisely in between the Jeep Renegade and the Jeep Cherokee in terms of length and price, completing a formidable lineup of contemporary small SUVs.  And of those three, we would argue the Compass is the best-looking.

There are four trim levels of Compass.  Sport is the base model, which begins at $20,995. Next is Latitude at $24,295, then Trailhawk at $28,595 and finally, the top-of-the-line Limited, which was our test vehicle, at $28,995.

For that money, you get the same 2.4-liter Multi-Air engine that is in all Compass variants, and a nine-speed automatic available only as an option in Sport and Latitude.  At 172 horsepower, the object is not speed, but fuel economy, and as such, it delivers, with an EPA estimated 22 city/30 highway.

Also standard on the Compass Limited: Remote start, engine stop/start, SelecTerrain, keyless entry, pushbutton start, speed-sensitive power door locks, a rear back-up camera, rear window defroster, windshield wiper de-icer, deep tint sunscreen glass, a security alarm, electronic stability control, electric parking brake, electronic roll mitigation, six-speaker audio system, Uconnect 8.4 with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as SiriusXM Satellite Radio and Bluetooth, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, a tilt/telescoping steering column, power front windows, heated front seats, a power eight-way driver's seat with four-way power lumbar, dual-zone climate control, ambient LED interior lighting, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, 18-inch polished gray pocket aluminum wheels, automatic headlamps, power adjustable mirrors, heated exterior mirros, halogen quad headlamps with turn-off time delay and fog and cornering lamps.

2017 Jeep Compass Limited Interior.

Our test vehicle, as usual, had options:

• Customer Preferred Package 2XG includes the Advanced Safety and Lighting Group, with advanced brake assist, lane departure warning, full speed forward collision warning, LED taillamps, Bi-Xenon HID headlamps with LED signature and automatic high beam headlamp control ($895).
• The Safety and Security Group including a rear park assist system, blind spot and cross path detection and rain-sensitive intermittent wipers ($745).
• The Navigation Group integrates satellite navigation into the Uconnect 8.4 system and includes a year of the SiriusXM Guardian service as well as a five-year subscription to SiriusXM Travel Lin and SiriusXM Traffic Plus ($895).
• Power liftgate ($495).
• Compact spare tire ($245).
• Upgraded 19-inch polished black pocket aluminium wheels ($895).

The 2016 Jeep Renegade Limited.

Back in August, the Phoenix bureau wrote a very positive review of the 2016 Jeep Renegade Sport, the base model of the small Jeep.  Now, we up here at TireKicker World Headquarters in Northern California have had a turn...but ours was a very different Renegade.

2016 Jeep Renegade Limited.

Move from the Jeep Renegade Sport to the Limited, and pretty much everything changes except for the body.  The powertain grows from a 1.4-liter turbo with a six-speed automatic to a 2.4-liter Tigershark four with a nine-speed automatic.  You gain 20 horsepower (180 versus 160) and give up very little in terms of fuel economy (21 city/29 highway says the EPA, versus  the 24/31 for the smaller engine).

A jump in base price from $19,995 for the four-wheel drive version of the Renegade Sport to $26,995 for the Renegade Limited 4x4 brings with it all kinds of standard equipment beyond the more powerful engine and more advanced transmission that justifies the extra seven grand. For your hard-earned money you get a backup camera, remote start and keyless entry, an upgraded six-speaker audio system, dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel (leather wrapped, as is the shift knob), heated exterior mirrors, power seats, 18-inch aluminum wheels and fog lamps.

2016 Jeep Renegade Limited  center stack.

As nice as all that is, Jeep will happily help you load your Renegade Limited further.  Our tester had passive entry for $125, the Safety and Security group (a tonneau cover, security alarm and blind spot/cross-path detection) for $645, an upgraded HD Radio audio system with navigation for $1,245 and the MySky power retractable roof with removable panels for $1,495.

With $995 destination charge, that puts the Renegade at $31,500, which is on the low-ish side for well-equipped small SUVs.  And the big surprise at the wheel of the Renegade is how well put-together and how capable it feels.  We haven't always been able to say that about modern-day small Jeeps.  So make that two thumbs up from TireKicker for the Jeep Renegade...one from the Phoenix Bureau, one from World Headquarters in Northern California.
