Jeep Cherokee (93-01) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Demand for stylish four-wheel drive transport took off rapidly in the early '90s, and Chrysler Jeep seized the opportunity to introduce the proven Cherokee to British buyers in 1993. It competes directly with the Land Rover Freelander for the affections of city-folk and suburbanites who want a good looking, well packaged vehicle and aren't too worried about the running costs. Cherokee is also a competent off-roader, though country motorists looking for a workhorse will probably look elsewhere.

Running costs

Thirsty – even the 2.5 turbo-diesel; parts and servicing costs are a bit steep. A versatile alternative to a family estate; used prices are falling faster now.
