The Jeep XJ, affectionately known as the "Cherokee" or "Comanche" depending on the body style, was a revolutionary vehicle that marked a turning point in the history of the brand. Introduced in 1984, the XJ was the first compact SUV, ushering in a new era of smaller, more manageable, and fuel-efficient off-roaders. This unibody design, featuring a rugged, truck-like ladder frame chassis, delivered exceptional strength and off-road capabilities while offering a surprisingly comfortable and refined driving experience. Its durable 4.0L straight-6 engine, paired with either a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission, provided ample power for both highway cruising and challenging off-road adventures. The XJ's spacious interior, featuring a fold-down rear seat for versatile cargo hauling, cemented its reputation as a practical and functional vehicle for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The Jeep XJ's lasting legacy is solidified by its iconic design, which, despite its age, still turns heads today. Its squared-off lines, high ground clearance, and distinctive front grille have become synonymous with rugged adventure and remain a timeless design language in the automotive world. The XJ's popularity, coupled with its robust construction and accessible aftermarket parts, made it a favorite among off-road enthusiasts. The popularity of this generation of Jeep XJ led to several popular aftermarket upgrades, including the addition of larger tires, lift kits, and heavy-duty axles, further enhancing the XJ's off-road prowess. The Jeep XJ's legacy continues to inspire modern Jeep models, and its influence can be seen in the current generation of Wranglers and Cherokees, which retain the spirit of off-road adventure and practicality that defined the original XJ.
