1997 Canadian Jeep Cherokee Test Drive
The Jeep Cherokee was a case study in how long a solid design could remain viable, even when some of its elements had become dated.
When it was introduced back in 1984, the four door Cherokee was tres chic, scooping up all kinds of “of-the-year” awards and helping to launch America on its amazing romance with sport-utility vehicles. Cherokees began sprouting up in suburban driveways like mushrooms, and for awhile the Cherokee Limited black with gold striping, was the height of automotive fashion.
But even in 1997 the Cherokee seemed a little old and blocky, an impression that mitigated by a modest interior and exterior refresh.
