The Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, produced from 1999 to 2004, marked a significant evolution in the popular SUV's lineage, building upon the success of its predecessor, the ZJ. This second-generation Grand Cherokee embraced a more refined and modern design language, incorporating a sleeker exterior with a more aerodynamic profile, while retaining the iconic Jeep ruggedness. The WJ also offered a wider range of powertrain options, including the powerful 4.7L V8 engine, the fuel-efficient 4.0L inline-six engine, and a 3.8L V6. The availability of a Quadra-Trac II full-time four-wheel-drive system with a low range transfer case enhanced off-road capability, further solidifying its reputation as a versatile and capable vehicle. Inside, the Grand Cherokee WJ provided a more spacious and comfortable cabin with improved ergonomics and technology. Notable features included a redesigned dashboard with a user-friendly layout, comfortable seating, and an optional premium sound system. The WJ also introduced advanced safety features like dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control, contributing to its overall safety rating. However, the model also faced criticism for its handling and ride quality, which some felt weren't as refined as its competitors. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ remained a popular choice for its spacious interior, off-road prowess, and iconic Jeep heritage.
