It's really an 8-speed unless you manually force it into 9th under very specific conditions, but other than that it's fine. Nice and smooth. That said, I would not go for the base 4-cylinder. Go with the V6 (now standard on the Limited) or the Turbo-4 (a $500 upgrade)

I took a rental Cherokee Limited to Florida and back in December. Even with the V6 and driving at quite extra-legal speeds, I managed 26/27 mpg the whole time. My Encore does the same these days even at slower speeds. Other than that, I'd look at the CX-5 once the turbo comes out.
