Does the Jeep Cherokee Sport come with a manual transmission?

I want to get a Jeep Cherokee Sport for its off-road prowess. However, I want to make sure I can get one with a stick for better control when I’m off the pavement. Does a Jeep Cherokee Sport come with a manual transmission?

The
Jeep Cherokee Sport
is one of the more iconic SUVs from the American automaker. Unfortunately, the Jeep Cherokee Sport hasn’t come with a manual transmission since 2001. Jeep also discontinued this model between 2002 and 2013, so you can essentially get a newer model or a vintage option.
If you want to get an old-school Cherokee Sport, the 2001 model comes with a five-speed manual that pairs with a 190-hp, 4.0-liter V-6. The last generation of the Cherokee Sport, made from 2014 to 2017, comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission that pairs with either a 184-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a 271-hp, 3.2-liter V-6.
Whether you decide to buy an old-school model with a manual or the newer nine-speed automatic, make sure you get your Jeep Cherokee Sport insured with an affordable option from the
