Jeep Cherokee Live Photos

Arguably the most important debut of the show – certainly the most polarizing – the Jeep Cherokee has split the opinions of the B&B in a bitter feud not seen since Jack declared the Mazda MX-5 superior to the Scion FR-S. I’m not sure I’d describe the Cherokee as attractive, but I do think its reception in the marketplace will be much warmer than anyone anticipated. After all, the Nissan Juke was criticized endlessly, and it’s gone on to become a sales success throughout the world.

    The biggest regret I have in my new car buying history is that I passed on buying a 2000 Cherokee Classic back in the day... I will not say that someday about this ugly Jeep badged Fiat.

      Hang in there, I have a feeling that the next iteration of the Cherokee will more closely resemble the old XJ in appearance and capability. Once the CUV craze passes SUVs will return to being the rugged, purpose built vehicles they once were. The demand hasn't evaporated but has been overlooked and ignored by manufacturers in recent years. Some forward looking auto exec is bound to figure this out...hopefully sooner rather than later.

    Can it go off road like the older ones could? Or is this basically a car with a high center of gravity?

  • Analoggrotto Does anyone seriously listen to this?
  • Thomas Same here....but keep in mind that EVs are already much more efficient than ICE vehicles. They need to catch up in all the other areas you mentioned.
  • Analoggrotto It's great to see TTAC kicking up the best for their #1 corporate sponsor. Keep up the good work guys.
