The Jeep Cherokee XJ, produced from 1988 to 2001, is an iconic compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) that marked a significant shift in the Jeep brand's direction. Departing from the rugged, utilitarian design of its predecessors, the XJ incorporated a unibody construction, a car-like driving experience, and a more modern, aerodynamic aesthetic. The XJ was available in various trim levels, ranging from the basic base model to the luxurious Laredo and the off-road-oriented Sport. Its versatility and capability were further enhanced by a range of engine options, including the 2.5-liter four-cylinder, the 4.0-liter inline-six, and the optional 5.2-liter V8. The Cherokee XJ became renowned for its rugged reliability, excellent off-road performance, and comfortable on-road handling. Its popularity soared, making it a mainstream success and a beloved choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The Jeep Cherokee XJ's legacy extends beyond its sales figures. It introduced innovative features, such as the renowned "Command-Trac" four-wheel drive system, which offered multiple selectable driving modes for different terrains. The Cherokee XJ further paved the way for future Jeep models, setting the stage for the brand's focus on on-road comfort and off-road capability. Its distinctive design, particularly the distinctive "cherokee" grille design, became synonymous with Jeep and its adventurous spirit. The XJ continues to be a popular choice for enthusiasts and collectors, celebrated for its durability, affordability, and the vast aftermarket support that allows for customization and restoration. The Jeep Cherokee XJ remains a testament to the brand's heritage and its enduring appeal as a true icon of the SUV genre.
