The Jeep Cherokee, a name synonymous with ruggedness and off-road capability, underwent a significant transformation in 1987 with the introduction of the YJ and XJ models. These models marked a departure from the previous CJ series, offering a more refined and comfortable driving experience while retaining the core Jeep values of durability and off-road prowess. The YJ, a continuation of the iconic CJ lineage, featured a new body-on-frame design with a longer wheelbase and a more upright windshield, resulting in a more spacious and modern interior. The XJ, on the other hand, introduced a revolutionary unibody construction, achieving a lighter and more agile chassis while maintaining excellent off-road capabilities. Both models were powered by a variety of engines, including the venerable 2.5L four-cylinder and the powerful 4.0L inline-six, offering a balance of fuel efficiency and performance. The 1987 Jeep Cherokee, whether the YJ or the XJ, was a vehicle designed for adventure. With its impressive ground clearance, robust suspension, and optional four-wheel drive system, it could conquer challenging terrains with ease. The interior, while simple and functional, offered a surprising amount of space for passengers and cargo. These models were equipped with a wide array of features, including air conditioning, power steering, and a rear window wiper, enhancing the overall driving experience. The Jeep Cherokee's ability to blend off-road capabilities with on-road comfort and versatility made it a popular choice for families, adventurers, and everyday drivers alike. The 1987 model year marked a significant milestone in the Jeep Cherokee's legacy, solidifying its position as a true icon of the off-road world.
