The Jeep Cherokee XJ, a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV), was produced by American Motors Corporation (AMC), and later Chrysler, from 1984 to 2001. This model introduced a new level of versatility and capability to the SUV market, building upon the success of its predecessor, the Jeep Wagoneer. The XJ boasted a unibody construction, a departure from the traditional body-on-frame design common in SUVs at the time. This innovation resulted in a lighter, more agile vehicle, while still retaining its off-road prowess. It was offered in a range of trim levels, from the basic "Base" model to the more luxurious "Limited" and the highly capable "Renegade". The Cherokee XJ became a popular choice for its blend of practicality and ruggedness. It offered a spacious interior with comfortable seating for five, ample cargo space, and a surprising degree of off-road capability thanks to its high ground clearance, available four-wheel drive system, and selectable low-range gearing. Under the hood, the XJ was powered by a variety of engines, including the 2.5L Iron Duke four-cylinder, the 4.0L inline-six, and a 2.8L V6 diesel engine. The XJ also featured a range of optional features, such as air conditioning, power steering, and a premium sound system, contributing to its widespread appeal. While its production ended in 2001, the Cherokee XJ left a lasting impact on the SUV market, establishing a strong reputation for its off-road performance, versatility, and overall value.
