JEEP Cherokee XJ (used) review

1. What Is It?

Date Published: 21st January 2011

Price £500-£2500
Dates 1993-2001

Jeep’s original family wagon, and the car that brought it to the UK at the height of the 4x4 boom. Originally had 2.5 and 4.0 petrol power, with a 2.5 diesel added later. All are thirsty, but surprisingly good off-road, and the 4.0 engine is unbreakable.

Buyer Beware!
Check the transfer box engages properly. Power steering is fragile, as is the interior trim, and electrics fail easily.

Fun, tough, well kitted
- Cruddy trim, gulps fuel

What you get
£1000 Leggy petrols from early on
£1750 Later petrols, mega-mileage diesels
£2500 Low-milers from near the end
