The Jeep Cherokee XJ, produced from 1984 to 2001, marked a significant shift in the Jeep lineup, transitioning from the rugged, utilitarian CJ series to a more refined and versatile SUV. The XJ, fondly nicknamed "Cherokee" or "XJ," introduced unibody construction, a first for a Jeep, offering a smoother ride and enhanced interior space. Its compact size, compared to its predecessors, made it more maneuverable in urban environments, while still maintaining off-road capability thanks to its solid axles, high ground clearance, and optional four-wheel-drive system. The Cherokee XJ became a popular choice for drivers seeking a vehicle that could handle both daily commutes and weekend adventures. The Cherokee XJ was offered with a variety of powertrains, including the fuel-efficient 2.5L four-cylinder engine, the powerful 4.0L straight-six engine, and, in later years, a 2.5L diesel engine. The interior was spacious, offering comfortable seating for five, and featured a user-friendly dashboard. The Cherokee XJ's success can be attributed to its versatility, affordability, and overall ruggedness. Its iconic design, with its distinctive square headlights and seven-slot grille, contributed to its enduring popularity, making it a beloved model among Jeep enthusiasts. Over its production run, the XJ was continuously updated with new features, powertrain options, and safety improvements, solidifying its reputation as a reliable and capable vehicle. The Cherokee XJ remains a popular choice for those seeking a classic SUV with a blend of off-road prowess and everyday practicality.
