The Jeep Grand Cherokee TJ, produced from 1997 to 1999, is the second generation of the highly popular Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV. This iteration marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the ZJ, with a bolder, more rugged design and a focus on off-road capability. The TJ incorporated a new, independent front suspension with coil springs, replacing the previous solid axle setup. This change significantly improved on-road handling and ride comfort while retaining the Jeep's hallmark off-road prowess. Powertrain options included a 4.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, delivering 190 horsepower, and a 5.2-liter V8 engine producing 225 horsepower. Both were mated to a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission, further enhancing the TJ's versatility. The TJ also introduced the option of a Quadra-Trac II four-wheel-drive system, which offered even greater off-road traction and capability.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee TJ's design was a blend of classic Jeep styling cues and modern design elements. Its signature seven-slot grille, round headlights, and boxy body lines gave it a distinctive and instantly recognizable appearance. The TJ's square, high-mounted taillights and the spare tire hung on the rear swing gate further solidified its rugged look. Inside, the TJ offered a comfortable and functional interior. The spacious cabin provided ample room for five passengers, and the dashboard featured a straightforward layout with easy-to-use controls. The TJ offered a wide range of optional features, including leather seats, power windows and locks, air conditioning, and a premium sound system. The Jeep Grand Cherokee TJ quickly became a popular choice for drivers seeking a capable and versatile SUV that offered both off-road performance and everyday practicality.
