The Jeep Cherokee XJ, a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by American Motors Corporation (AMC) and later by Chrysler, made its debut in 1984. The model year 1988 marked the fourth year of production for the first-generation XJ, a vehicle that would revolutionize the SUV market and become a beloved classic. The Cherokee XJ was designed with a unibody construction, a departure from the traditional body-on-frame designs of its contemporaries. This innovative approach offered enhanced handling, a more comfortable ride, and improved fuel efficiency, making it a compelling option for both off-road enthusiasts and daily commuters. The Cherokee XJ's rugged exterior, featuring a bold grille, squared-off headlights, and a high ground clearance, conveyed its off-road capabilities while its compact dimensions ensured it was easy to maneuver in urban environments. Under the hood, the 1988 Jeep Cherokee XJ offered a range of engine options, including the fuel-efficient 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the more powerful 4.0-liter straight-six. Both engines were mated to either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission, allowing drivers to tailor their driving experience to their preferences. The Cherokee XJ's standard four-wheel drive system, coupled with its high ground clearance and independent suspension, provided exceptional traction and maneuverability in challenging off-road conditions. Inside, the Cherokee XJ offered a comfortable and spacious cabin for up to five passengers. The interior featured durable materials and a practical design, with ample storage space and well-placed controls. The 1988 model year brought several updates to the Cherokee XJ, including a revised dashboard, new upholstery options, and improved sound insulation. These enhancements further solidified the Cherokee XJ's reputation as a reliable and versatile vehicle that could tackle any adventure.
