If you are in the market for used SUVs for sale, consider our selection of used Jeep models here at Faricy Chrysler Jeep. We’ve got all sorts of sport-utility vehicles that are perfect for a wide range of lifestyles. Whether you need something for off-roading adventures or you just want a cool SUV to get the kids to school in the mornings, we’ve got them all. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite used Jeep models.

Used Jeep Cherokee

As a compact crossover with plenty of off-roading capabilities, a used Jeep Cherokee is perfect for small families. It has seating for five passengers, and recent models offer 24.6 cubic feet of cargo space. This storage area increases to 54.9 cubic feet by reconfiguring the seats. It’s worth noting that this petite ride also scored a solid 5-star rating for side-impact protection in government-conducted crash tests.

To give you an idea of the type of power you can get in a used Cherokee, let’s take a look at the 2016 model. If you find one on our dealership lot, it will be powered by one of two engines. First is a 2.4-L 4-cylinder motor that pumps out 184 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. Mated with FWD and a 9-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain has a fuel economy set at 25 mpg combined (22 city/31 highway). The other engine that you might come across is a 3.2-liter V6 that generates 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the same drivetrain, this model gets 24 mpg combined (21 city/29 highway). Both engines can also be found paired with the Active Drive I 4WD system for better performance on rough terrain.

Typically, a used Jeep Cherokee will be available in at least four trims, or more depending on the year. Each one is unique and offers nifty features to make your drive more enjoyable. One of the highlights of the 2016 version is the Uconnect infotainment interface. Displayed on an 8.4-inch monitor, this system operates with Siri Eyes Free, which can generate automated text responses and send phone calls straight to voicemail. This is quite handy in keeping you from being distracted.

Used Jeep Compass

If you are looking for a ride that is better suited for the city, consider a used Jeep Compass. This crossover is perfect for folks who don’t care much for the wild outdoors. With a seating capacity of five, it offers 27.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the back row in recent models. By folding down the rear seats, you can open this area up to 59.8 cubic feet.

The recent models years come equipped with a 2.4-L 4-cylinder engine that produces 180 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. The base Sport trim is mated with FWD and a six-speed manual transmission. Other drivetrains that you may come across include a 6-speed automatic paired with FWD, a 6-speed manual coupled with AWD, and a 9-speed automatic mated with AWD.

One of the most popular trims on the used Compass is the Latitude. It features premium cloth and faux leather upholstery throughout the cabin for a more sophisticated look. It also includes the Connect infotainment interface displayed on a smaller 5-inch screen. This trim is not compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. If you want that function, you will need to find a Compass with a higher trim.

Used Jeep Grand Cherokee

Looking for something a little bigger? A pre-owned Jeep Grand Cherokee may be the answer. This mid-size SUV seats five people, and recent model years offer 36.3 cubic feet of space in the back. Folding the seats down will provide you with a storage area of 68.3 cubic feet.

The base Laredo model is powered by a 3.6-L V6 engine that generates 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. If you happen to find one of the other higher trims, you may discover that they are equipped with a 5.7-L V8 that puts out 360 hp or 390 lb-ft of torque or a 6.4L SRT V8 that produces 4675 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. If you really want some power in your used Grand Cherokee, you might be lucky to find the supercharged 6.2L V8 engine that puts out 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque.

Highlights on the used Grand Cherokee vehicles include dual-zone climate control and rear parking sensors. Higher trims can also be found with safety features such as blindspot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, forward collision mitigation, emergency braking, and more. You may even be able to locate one with a dual-screen Blu-ray entertainment system in the back.

Used Jeep Patriot

If you are on a budget and looking for an SUV, you might want to try your luck with a used Jeep Patriot. This vehicle was produced from 2007 to 2017, can carry five passengers with ease, and has an economical design, which makes it more affordable. With 23 cubic feet of cargo room behind the back row, you can expand the cargo up to 53.5 cubic feet by folding down the seats. Even though it was released in fewer trims than we’re used to today, there were multiple packages that could be added on and two engine options.

The standard powertrain for the used Patriot is a 2.0-L 4-cylinder that generates 158 hp and 141 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with only FWD and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), this version has a fuel economy set at 24 mpg combined (22 city/26 highway). Another option you might find is the 2.4-L 4-cylinder engine that puts out 172 hp and 165 lb-ft of torque.

Highlights for this model include an infotainment interface displayed on a 6.5-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, and a rearview camera.

Used Jeep Renegade

As for a subcompact crossover, a used Jeep Renegade is a solid pick. Able to seat five people, this petite model has 18.5 cubic feet of room behind the back row in recent years. If you need extra space, you can fold the seats down to open the area up to 50.8 cubic feet. That’s pretty impressive for such a small SUV.

Perusing the dealership lot, you may find a used Renegade that is equipped with the standard turbocharged 1.4-L 4-cylinder engine. Mated with a 6-speed manual transmission, this powertrain produces 160 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque.
