Underneath the skin expensive is new, though; a five speed automatic is standard, and there are now three 4×4 transmission packages to select from -the choice being based on how serious the driver is all about rough terrain driving – along with a flagship 5.7 Hemi engine that revives one of Chrysler Group’s glory names from the 1960s, when Hemi translated into instant muscle.

The newcomer isn’t any slouch, but fears of rampant fuel consumption are countered by an economy mode which shuts four from the eight cylinders. Perfect in relation to balance, the 2005 Cherokee is going to be another winner for Jeep.
