2000 Jeep Cherokee in the UK The Jeep Cherokee is an SUV. It began as a full-size model, along with the similar Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. But 1984's unibody Cherokee set the stage for the modern SUV, being a cross between a station wagon and truck with little pickup truck heritage. It is built in the United States and Beijing, China.
SJ (1974–1983)
The first vehicle to use the Cherokee name was the 1974 SJ.
XJ (1984–1996)
The XJ Cherokee was introduced in 1984 as the first unibody Jeep. It was to be replaced by the larger Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) in 1993, but the continuing popularity of the original Cherokee caused the company to rethink this decision. It was eventually replaced in 2002 by the Jeep Liberty (KJ), though that vehicle is called the Cherokee in some markets.
An upscale trim line on the Cherokee from 1984 through 1990 was the Jeep Wagoneer. It was sold as a separate model, and had plastic wood trim on the outside.
