The Jeep XJ, affectionately nicknamed "Cherokee" by enthusiasts, was a game-changer in the SUV market when it debuted in 1984 for the 1985 model year. This compact SUV, built on a unibody platform, marked a departure from the traditional body-on-frame construction of earlier Jeeps. This innovative design, coupled with its advanced features, helped the XJ achieve immense popularity and establish itself as a legendary off-roader. The XJ's success can be attributed to its compact size, making it agile and maneuverable both on and off-road, combined with its rugged and durable construction. This combination of features enabled the XJ to navigate challenging trails while remaining comfortable and practical for everyday use. The 1985 Jeep XJ came equipped with a range of engine options, including the 2.5L four-cylinder and the 2.8L V6. The 4-speed automatic transmission and a 5-speed manual were available, with optional four-wheel drive providing excellent off-road capabilities. The XJ was also renowned for its spacious interior, accommodating five passengers comfortably. The interior offered several convenient features, including a fold-down rear seat, ample cargo space, and a dashboard that was both functional and stylish. Despite its compact size, the XJ delivered a surprising amount of cargo space, which was further enhanced by the fold-down rear seats. The XJ's combination of off-road prowess, practical features, and stylish design made it a highly sought-after vehicle for a wide range of users, from outdoor enthusiasts to families looking for a reliable and capable vehicle for everyday use.
