The Jeep Cherokee XJ, produced from 1984 to 1993, stands as a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Jeep brand. It marked the transition from the iconic but aging CJ series to a more modern, refined, and capable SUV. The Cherokee XJ, often referred to simply as the "XJ," was the first Jeep to utilize a unibody construction, offering increased safety and ride comfort compared to the rugged ladder-frame chassis of its predecessors. This unibody design, coupled with the advanced AMC-developed 2.5L and 4.0L straight-six engines, delivered a combination of off-road prowess and on-road comfort that resonated with a wide range of drivers.
Beyond its technical innovations, the Cherokee XJ cemented its place in automotive history for its distinctive styling. The boxy, angular design, reminiscent of the iconic military Jeep, was further accentuated by the signature seven-slot grille and round headlights. This design language, dubbed "the box" within Jeep circles, became synonymous with the Cherokee XJ and contributed to its enduring popularity. The XJ's interior, while functional, also embraced a sense of ruggedness, with simple but durable materials and high-quality construction. The Cherokee XJ offered a range of trims and options, catering to both everyday drivers and those seeking more adventurous pursuits. As a testament to its design and capabilities, the XJ served as the foundation for the popular Jeep Wrangler, marking its legacy as an influential model in the SUV segment and beyond.
