I stoped by my dealerthis AM to get a brochure. I found out they have a Cherokee Limited on lot, so I decided to check it out with the kiddo. It seems smaller than I was expecting. The driver compartment is comfortable, but with the CommandView sunroof, quite a bit of headroom disappears (I'm only 5'10"). That wasn't what got me all twisted up though, it was the headroom for the back seats! Sitting in the seat (all the way back and reclined until it touches the tonneau cover) I had to lean my head towards the sunroof as the roofline sides were hitting my head. I think I actually have more headroom in my wife's 2014 Compass (which also has a sunroof) in both the front and rear seats.

I thought the Cherokee was sized between the Compass/Patriot and the Grand Cherokee... But the interior dimensions are closer to (and in some cases smaller than) the Compass/Patriot twins.

In one of the video's the guy doing the review highlighted the same thing,lack of headroom with a sunroof.
What was your impression of the cargo room behind the rear seats ?

Open the sunroof. Problem solved

 

[barnettd]

Stick your head out

Open the sunroof. Problem solved

Don't sit in the back seat... especially while driving! Problem solved

Yeah I saw that comment in a few reviews.

Don't get a sun roof.

 

[JonJones]

I sat in the one without the sunroof and felt like it had plenty of room. Does it really make that much difference?

 

[Hudsonhawk]

Yes, The one I sat is had the sun roof and my head was very close to the roof in the rear. The sun roof cuts at least an inch out of the available headroom.

So since I'm only 5'2" if I raise my eyebrows, the sunroof shouldn't bother me!

The cargo area is wide and deep, but not tall as the roofline sweeps downward towards the end of vehicle. (Cargo area is larger (L/W) than '04 Liberty and '14 Compass, but smaller than '04 Grand Cherokee)

Thanks for that much appreciated.

yes and no... the area under the pano roof is higher than where the headliner would be (if no sunroof) but, around the edge of the pano, the headliner has to drop down to accomodate for the sunroof mechanisms (when sunroof is open, it's undernear fixed rear portion of glass) and the sunshade curtain.

Thanks!

This is my concern...rear cargo room and headroom in front row and second row with the pano sunroof.

I'm 6'2" so it's important!

Holy crap! Look at how deep the glove box is. Thanks for the shots.

I'm slightly concerned about this. I drove one without a sunroof, but ordered one with it, thinking it'd be the same. I'm only 5 10, so it might not matter, but I hope I don't feel cramped. Can't keep the sunroof open all winter in Michigan.

Well certainly when I order it will be no sunroof for me, I have one in the Journey and find we rarely use it anyway.

I rarely open the one on my Ridgeline, but I have the cloth cover open all the time. I just like having a glass ceiling since it makes the car feel big - and this Cherokee sunroof is like two or three times the size of the one in the Ridgeline.
