By VANI NAIDOO arrangement and sleek front bumper. The trademark seven-slot grille gives more of a Grand Cherokee feel and there is a new look for the rear too with a composite motion sensor bumper and fresh tail light arrangement. It certainly looks appealing enough and the tough boy image of the Trailhawk is reinforced by unmissable red recovery hooks in the front and rear. Inside, the changes are minimal yet practical.

The system itself is intuitive and super-easy to navigate and responsive to quick commands.

The Cherokee, Jeep’s mid-sized SUV, has been at the centre of this kind of talk for a couple of years with its polarising nose finding little favour with buyers. Now, however, Jeep has taken steps to put the Cherokee back in the race with smart new exterior styling and a better all-round value-for-money offering. We put the range-topping Trailhawk through its paces. STYLING This new Jeep Cherokee debuts a more conventional look, forgoing the previous headlight design for an appealing LED
