BAIC Jeep Cherokee 2500

Jeep Cherokee 2500: Which Version Should You Buy?

The choice is straightforward because the BAIC Jeep Cherokee 2500 catalogue contains one generation and one version: the 2.5 MT. Produced from 2003 to 2005 as an SUV 5-doors, it combines a 2,464 cc Gasoline engine producing 113 hp and 183 Nm with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and AWD.

The choice is straightforward because the BAIC Jeep Cherokee 2500 catalogue contains one generation and one version: the 2.5 MT. Produced from 2003 to 2005 as an SUV 5-doors, it combines a 2,464 cc Gasoline engine producing 113 hp and 183 Nm with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and AWD. There is no alternative engine, transmission, body type, or generation to compare, so the buying decision depends on whether this exact specification meets your needs.

Jeep Cherokee 2500 generations: what changed?

The Jeep Cherokee 2500 has one generation in the supplied catalogue. The 1 generation ran from 2003 to 2005 and was offered as an SUV 5-doors. It contains one version, the 2.5 MT.

Because there is only one generation, there is no newer or older generation to compare for changes in power, torque, drivetrain, body style, weight, or ground clearance. No restyling is listed within the 1 generation. Buyers therefore do not need to choose between separate generations or decide whether a later generation provides additional performance or different specifications.

Jeep Cherokee 2500 engine and specs

The sole 2.5 MT uses a 2,464 cc Gasoline engine with 4 cylinders in an Inline layout. It produces 113 hp (83 kW) at 5,200 rpm and 183 Nm at 3,500 rpm. The engine is mounted Front, longitudinal and uses Distributed injection (multi-point). It has 2 valves per cylinder, a compression ratio of 9.2, and a bore and stroke of 98.4 × 81. Boost is No, and the specified fuel is 95.

Power output works out to approximately 45.9 hp per litre. Torque output is approximately 74.3 Nm per litre. These calculated figures describe the output relative to the engine’s 2,464 cc displacement; they do not create a comparison with another version because no other Jeep Cherokee 2500 version is present in the data.

For a buyer, the key conclusion from the specification table is that every listed Jeep Cherokee 2500 has the same engine and drivetrain choice. Selecting the 2.5 MT means accepting a naturally aspirated configuration, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, and AWD; the catalogue provides no Automatic or alternative-drive version.

Jeep Cherokee 2500 performance, mpg, and economy

Acceleration from 0–100 km/h for the 2.5 MT is not measured. Top speed is also not measured.

Fuel consumption in the city is not measured, fuel consumption on the highway is not measured, and combined fuel consumption is not measured. Consequently, an mpg figure cannot be compared with another version, and the supplied data does not support a numerical estimate of running range or fuel cost. CO₂ emissions are not measured, and the emissions class is not measured.

The 2.5 MT has a 76-litre fuel tank and uses 95 fuel. Tank capacity is known, but consumption is not measured, so tank range cannot be calculated from the available figures.

Jeep Cherokee 2500 dimensions, weight, and ground clearance

The 2.5 MT has a kerb weight of 1,353 kg and a gross weight of 2,113 kg. The difference between gross and kerb weight is 760 kg. This arithmetic difference is not a separate load-rating claim; it is simply the difference between the two supplied weight figures.

At kerb weight, the 2.5 MT carries approximately 12.0 kg per horsepower. Its power-to-weight ratio is approximately 83.5 hp per tonne. These calculated values are useful for understanding how the 113 hp output relates to the 1,353 kg kerb weight, although no second version exists for a direct comparison.

Ground clearance is 200 mm, while fuel-tank capacity is 76 litres. Wheel sizes are not measured.

The chassis specification is equally fixed across the catalogue because there is only one version. The 2.5 MT has Dependent, spring front suspension and Dependent, leaf spring rear suspension. Its front brakes are Disc, while its rear brakes are Drum.

Jeep Cherokee 2500 reliability and problems

Reliability results and known-problem records are not provided in the supplied data. It would therefore be unsupported to rank the 2.5 MT for reliability or name recurring mechanical problems.

The catalogue does identify the mechanical specification that a buyer can verify when inspecting a vehicle: a 2,464 cc Gasoline engine, 5-speed Manual gearbox, AWD, Dependent, spring front suspension, Dependent, leaf spring rear suspension, Disc front brakes, and Drum rear brakes. Condition, maintenance history, repair costs, and parts availability are not measured in the data.

Which Jeep Cherokee 2500 version should you buy?

Choose the 2.5 MT if you specifically want the only configuration represented here: an SUV 5-doors with AWD, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, and a 2,464 cc Gasoline engine. It supplies 113 hp and 183 Nm, with approximately 45.9 hp per litre and a kerb-weight burden of approximately 12.0 kg per horsepower.

There is no higher-output version, no alternative gearbox, and no second generation in the supplied catalogue. As a result, extra money cannot be tied to additional power, torque, equipment, or a newer generation using these data. The figures also cannot justify choosing one production year over another, because the same 2.5 MT specification covers the full 2003–2005 production period listed.

The practical buying answer is therefore conditional rather than comparative: the 2.5 MT is the version to buy when its 113 hp, 183 Nm, Manual transmission, AWD, 200 mm ground clearance, and 1,353 kg kerb weight suit the intended use. If acceleration, top speed, or fuel economy is decisive, the available figures are insufficient because each of those performance and consumption measurements is listed as not measured.
