The Jeep Cherokee KJ, produced from 2002 to 2007, marked a significant departure from its predecessors, shifting from the traditional body-on-frame construction to a unibody design. This move aimed to improve ride comfort, handling, and fuel efficiency while retaining the ruggedness associated with the Cherokee name. The KJ was available in a variety of trim levels, ranging from the basic Sport to the more luxurious Limited, catering to diverse needs and preferences. Powertrain options included a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine for fuel-conscious drivers and a 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine for increased torque and towing capacity. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, providing a blend of performance and practicality.
Despite its unibody construction, the Cherokee KJ remained capable of handling moderate off-road adventures. Its generous ground clearance, available four-wheel drive system, and optional skid plates allowed it to tackle challenging terrain. The interior offered comfortable seating for five occupants, with ample cargo space for luggage or gear. While not as spacious as some competitors, the KJ's interior focused on practicality, featuring durable materials and easy-to-use controls. The Cherokee KJ's blend of practicality, versatility, and a touch of rugged charm resonated with many drivers seeking a capable SUV for everyday driving and occasional off-road excursions. This model solidified its position as a versatile and reliable companion for those who value a blend of comfort, performance, and off-road capability.
