The 1.8L and 2.0L engines return decent fuel efficiency numbers at 30-31 and 27-28 combined mpg, respectively. However, competitors in the segment are rated better. Regardless of engine choice, it takes close to 10 seconds to motivate the 2016 Hyundai Elantra from 0 to 60 mph.
The 3.2L has a relatively good reputation for reliability and overall performance. The 2.0T has a performance edge over the 3.2. Some respected automotive analysts in Quebec did a nice review of the 2019 Cherokee with the 2.0T, saying this engine brings a better overall driving experience and is a better match to the 9-speed than the 3.2.

More electronic-rich modern engines also require less frequent tune-ups when compared to older engines. Other key engine components, like carburetors, have also been given an electronic-makeover.
