After a brief hiatus, one of the most iconic names in SUV history is making its triumphant return to Vancouver Island.
The 2026 Jeep Cherokee has officially been revealed, and it's more than just a comeback, it's a complete evolution. Whether you're commuting along the Island Highway, heading to Elk Falls for a weekend hike, or planning a road trip to Tofino, this all-new midsize SUV is built for West Coast living.
Soon arriving at River City Ram, here's everything Vancouver Island drivers need to know.
The 2026 Cherokee isn't just refreshed, it's built on the brand-new STLA Large platform, making it longer, wider, and more capable than ever. Jeep designers leaned into a bold, boxy look that honors the Cherokee's rugged heritage while adding modern, aerodynamic refinement, perfect for both downtown Campbell River and off-the-grid Island adventures.
Efficiency meets Jeep capability.
The 2026 Cherokee launches as a Turbo Hybrid featuring a 1.6L I4 engine paired with two electric motors.
Performance Highlights:
210 horsepower
230 lb-ft of torque
Estimated 37 MPG combined (approx. 6.4 L/100km)
Up to 800 km of total range
3,500-lb towing capacity
Whether you're towing a small boat to Discovery Passage or hauling camping gear north toward Sayward, the Cherokee delivers Island-ready capability with exceptional fuel efficiency, a major win with today's BC fuel prices.
One of the biggest upgrades is interior space. Cargo capacity has increased by 30% over the previous generation.
With rear seats folded, you get up to 1,934 L (68.3 cubic feet) of storage ideal for:
Paddleboards
Mountain bikes
Hockey bags
Costco runs
Camping trips to Strathcona Provincial Park
Island families and outdoor enthusiasts will love the added flexibility
The cabin makes a massive leap forward with modern technology designed for busy Island drivers:
Standard 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 Touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™
10.25-inch Digital Driver Cluster
140+ safety and driver-assist features including:
Active Driving Assist
Blind Spot Monitoring

From rainy winter drives to highway commuting between Campbell River and Courtenay, the 2026 Cherokee is built with safety at the forefront.
