The Jeep Cherokee KJ, produced from 2002 to 2007, marked a significant shift in the Cherokee lineage, moving away from the rugged body-on-frame design of its predecessors to a unibody construction. This change aimed to improve fuel economy and enhance handling, positioning the KJ more as a comfortable everyday vehicle while retaining Jeep's renowned off-road capability. The "KJ" designation, though less familiar than the "XJ" used for the previous generation, represented the internal code for this model. The 2003 Jeep Cherokee KJ 4X4 (RHD), specifically, is a right-hand drive variant, making it suitable for markets where driving on the left side of the road is standard.

The 2003 Cherokee KJ 4x4 was available with a 2.4L four-cylinder engine or a 2.8L CRD (Common Rail Diesel) engine, both offering varying levels of power and efficiency. The 4x4 drivetrain, a hallmark of the Cherokee lineage, equipped this model with a selectable four-wheel drive system, allowing drivers to engage the system when needed for added traction and off-road performance. While the KJ represented a departure from the previous generation's more rugged aesthetic, it maintained a sturdy, utilitarian design, embodying Jeep's trademark ruggedness and versatility. Despite its shift towards a more civilized approach, the 2003 Cherokee KJ 4x4 remained a capable off-roader, making it a popular choice for both everyday driving and adventure-seeking enthusiasts.
