The Jeep Cherokee KJ, produced from 2002 to 2007, marked a significant shift in the iconic SUV's design and capabilities. Replacing the popular XJ generation, the KJ introduced a more rounded and aerodynamic aesthetic, distancing itself from the boxy, rugged image of its predecessor. This change was driven by the desire to improve fuel efficiency and aerodynamics, while still retaining the Cherokee's off-road prowess. The KJ was built on the Liberty platform, underpinned by a unibody construction, providing a more refined driving experience compared to the body-on-frame XJ. Under the hood, the KJ offered a range of powertrain options, including a 2.4L inline-four engine and a 3.7L V6, matched to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. Though lacking the true off-road ability of its predecessor, the KJ still boasted a respectable ground clearance and available four-wheel drive systems, enabling it to tackle moderate terrain with ease.
The Jeep Cherokee KJ's interior, while offering a more modern design, was somewhat criticized for its lack of refinement and comfortable amenities. However, it did offer decent space for passengers and cargo, with a rear seat that could be folded down to expand cargo capacity. The KJ's technological features were basic for its time, with standard features including power windows, locks, and mirrors, along with an AM/FM radio and cassette player. Despite the changes in design and technology, the Jeep Cherokee KJ remained a popular choice for its reliable performance, fuel efficiency, and a spacious cabin. The KJ's blend of comfort, practicality, and off-road capability made it a versatile choice for a wide range of drivers, whether they were looking for a daily commuter or a weekend adventurer. The Workshop Repair Service Manual provides detailed instructions and technical information for those seeking to maintain and repair their KJ, encompassing everything from basic maintenance procedures to complex engine repairs.
