Jeep launches the Cherokee Night Eagle edition

Jeep's latest special edition Cherokee combines a few cosmetic tweaks with some extra specification. Called the Night Eagle, it's based on the existing Longitude Plus trim grade.

Distinguishing features include deep-tint glass, gloss black roof bars, satin grey bodywork elements and a unique tailgate badge. Furthermore, the usual 17” alloy wheels have been upgraded to gloss black 18” five-spoke items.

Inside, the Longitude Plus standard equipment list is augmented by leather upholstery, electrically-adjustable lumber support for the driver and front-seat heating.

Power is provided by a 2.2 litre MultiJet turbo diesel engine which produces 197 bhp (147 kW / 200 PS) with 440 Nm (324 lb/ft) of peak torque. That output is sent to an Active Drive I 4x4 system via a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
