The 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, a rugged and capable SUV, marked a significant shift in the model's history, introducing a new platform and styling that would define the Grand Cherokee for years to come. This generation, known internally as the WJ, debuted in 1998 as a 1999 model year, replacing the long-running ZJ series. The WJ brought with it a more refined and sophisticated design, featuring a rounded, aerodynamic body that was a departure from the boxy styling of its predecessor. This new aesthetic, combined with a more luxurious interior, aimed to appeal to a broader audience while still maintaining the inherent off-road capability that Jeep is renowned for.
Underneath the sleek exterior, the WJ Grand Cherokee rested upon a new, unibody platform that offered a more refined ride and handling experience than the previous body-on-frame construction. Engine options included a powerful 4.0L inline-6, a 4.7L V8, and a 5.9L V8 in the performance-oriented Grand Cherokee SRT-8. These engines were paired with either a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission, depending on the configuration. The 1999 Grand Cherokee also introduced several innovative safety features, including standard dual front airbags, optional side airbags, and the Quadra-Drive four-wheel drive system, which provided exceptional traction and off-road capability. The 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, with its blend of comfort, capability, and advanced features, solidified its position as a popular and versatile SUV, ready to tackle any terrain or challenge.
