The record

The Sport replaced the Pioneer and Chief as the mainstream Cherokee, standardising the 4.0-litre with a manual or automatic gearbox and Command-Trac; it was the XJ most fleets, police forces and families bought, and it ran to the last Cherokee of June 2001.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
