The Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ, produced from 1993 to 1998, represents a significant evolution in the Jeep lineup. This second-generation Grand Cherokee was a significant departure from its predecessor, the XJ, offering a more refined and luxurious experience while retaining the brand's off-road prowess. The ZJ introduced a unibody construction, replacing the XJ's body-on-frame design, resulting in improved handling and ride comfort. It also debuted a new, more aerodynamic exterior, featuring a rounded front end and sleeker lines. Under the hood, the ZJ offered a range of engines, including the iconic 5.2L V8, a 4.0L inline-six, and a 2.5L inline-four, catering to a variety of needs and preferences. The ZJ's interior boasted a more spacious and comfortable cabin, with improved ergonomics and upgraded materials. It also introduced standard features like power windows, locks, and mirrors, further enhancing its appeal for a wider audience. The 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ, specifically, was a popular year in the model's production run. It continued to offer the same robust engine options and capable off-road capabilities as its predecessors while benefitting from minor refinements and updates. This particular year saw the introduction of several safety features, including standard dual airbags and an optional anti-lock braking system (ABS). The 1996 ZJ also offered a comprehensive range of trim levels, from the base Laredo to the luxurious Limited, allowing customers to tailor the vehicle to their individual needs and tastes. Its blend of luxury, off-road capability, and reliability established the ZJ as a successful and enduring model in the Jeep lineup, solidifying its place as a beloved vehicle for both on-road and off-road enthusiasts alike.
