Jeep Cherokee For Sale

Jeep has been manufacturing the Jeep Cherokee in some form or another since 1974, and that translates into many options for the consumer shopping for a Jeep Cherokee for sale. It all started with the Jeep Cherokee (SJ) in 1974, which Jeep then replaced with the XJ in 1984, and manufactured until 2001. Jeep replaced that with the Jeep Liberty, also known as the Jeep Cherokee (KJ). In addition to these Cherokees, Jeep began manufacturing the Grand Cherokees in 1993.

Jeep Cherokee (SJ) 1974-1983

Similar to the famed Wagoneer that Brooks Stevens designed in 1963, the SJ, which boasts an iconic visual style, was a moderately popular full-size SUV during the 1970s and early 1980s. Its popularity grew in the years after its discontinuation. They are becoming increasingly difficult to find today, and thus highly sought after by off-road enthusiasts and other types of automotive aficionados.

Jeep Cherokee (XJ) 1984-2001

Although the XJ shared its name with the SJ model that preceded it, they shared very little else in common. The XJ is a unibody compact SUV, and it does not employ the body-on-frame chassis that was a defining element of the SJ models. The XJs are so popular that it is common to see the late 1990s and later models still used for regular driving. These are highly durable vehicles, and their only real deficiency is a lack of modern safety features.

Jeep Liberty or Jeep Cherokee (KJ/KK) 2002-Present

Called the Jeep Liberty in North America and the Cherokee in other parts of the world, the KJ is the modern incarnation of the XJ. While sticking to its compact, off-road roots, the Chrysler influence has steered the current Jeep Cherokee for sale toward a focus on luxury. The current version costs approximately ,000, and boasts a standard package that includes 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, air-conditioning, full power accessories, automatic headlamps, and a six-speaker CD stereo system with satellite radio.

Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) 1993-1998

Introduced in 1993, the Grand Cherokees were a sport-influenced mid-size UniFrame SUV. The ZJs were available as Base, Laredo, and Limited. These were essentially a sparse standard package, a mid-tier package, and a deluxe premium package, respectively. The 1995 models and beyond include ample safety features, and make for viable options for the modern used car shopper.

Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ) 1999-2004

The Grand Cherokee became amazingly popular, and as we neared the turn of the century, Jeep introduced a style and function update to celebrate it. The theme behind the WJ is power and luxury, and it certainly met those standards for all five years of its production. This is the sweet spot for used car buyers that want to limit cost while achieving maximum feature set and safety level.

Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) 2005-2010

The WK is a modern refinement of the wildly popular WJ. Unless they have heavy mileage, these vehicles hold their value well, so the car buyer considering one may also want to consider a brand new WK2. The prices are not going to be worlds apart.

Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2) 2011-Present

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is an elegant refinement of everything we loved about the WJ and the WK. The aspect that separates the WK2 from the WK is the all-new chassis that provides significant improvements to the suspension. The base 2011 Jeep Cherokee for sale is going to cost you about K, and brings with it a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 290 horsepower. The equipment package includes 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone air-conditioning, cruise control, keyless ignition, automatic headlights, and a six-speaker CD audio system with satellite radio.
