Cherokee UK Version

Jeep®'s award-winning Cherokee has been improved for 2005 with a new look, updated interior and a new 2.8-litre diesel engine, with variable geometry turbo, that boasts lower emissions, more power and higher torque than the previous engine.

This common-rail diesel 2.8-litre engine replaces the 2.5-litre diesel unit across the entire Jeep Cherokee range, and uses an electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger to improve control of boost pressure, reduce emissions and improve full load engine power and torque. Injectors on the 2.8-litre diesel have also been improved so that fuel burns more thoroughly, producing fewer particulates and lower emissions than previous generation diesel engines.

This Euro IV engine is mated to either a new six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic transmission and produces 161 bhp at 3,800 rpm and 295 lb ft of torque at 1800rpm. The 0-62 mph time with the manual transmission is 12.8 seconds and 12.2 seconds for the automatic.

The new six-speed manual gearbox is also fitted as standard to the 2.4-litre petrol engine, while a 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine with five-speed automatic transmission completes the range.

The Jeep Cherokee includes a host of features including a new front grille with foglamps integrated in the grille surround together with a new front fascia, wider and more comfortable seats with improved lumbar support and rear seats that fold flatter than the previous model. Other improvements include moving the electric window switches to the centre console for better ergonomics and side-curtain airbags as standard on Limited models.

Simon Elliott, Managing Director for Chrysler Group in the UK, said: "The Cherokee has always been a big seller for Jeep in the UK -we have sold more than12,000 vehicles since 2001. Customers are often surprised just how much standard equipment you get in a Jeep, and the combination of its new rugged good looks and a 4*NCAP safety rating will all help make it an even more attractive purchase."

The Sport model, which starts the range at £17,995, is available with either the 2.4-litre or 2.8-litre engines, and features 16in steel wheels, multi-stage airbags, front fog lights, headlamp levelling, air conditioning, ABS, electric front windows and a single CD player as standard. Limited models, available with the 2.8-litre CRD or 3.7 V6 engine, come with 17in alloy wheels, jeeome front grille, side curtain airbags, cruise control and power front seats as standard.

The addition of the VGT to the 2.8-litre CRD engine has increased the mount of torque on offer by 11 per cent -266 lb ft to 295 lb ft compared to the previous engine, while the power output has increased from 148 bhp to 161 bhp. The CO2 emissions have fallen from 262 g/km to 246 g/km while the top speed stays the same at 108 mph.

The new Jeep Cherokee is available from all Chrysler UK dealers from January 2005. The commercial version of the Jeep Cherokee, the Pioneer, will also feature the 2.8-litre engine and is available with either a six speed manual gearbox or five-speed automatic transmission.

Wrangler Unlimited

The Wrangler is a mini SUV from Jeep. It is a successor to the famous World War II GP vehicle by way of the 'Willy's' Jeep in the 1950s and later by the Jeep CJ series. The Wrangler debuted in 1987, was updated in 1997, and is still popular today.

The Wrangler is produced at Jeep's Toledo South Assembly plant in Toledo, Ohio.

TJ
The YJ gave way to the TJ for the 1997 model year. This updated Wrangler featured a coil-spring suspension (based on that of the Jeep Grand Cherokee) for better ride and handling, and a return to the CJ's iconic round headlamps. The engine is the same 4.0 L AMC Straight-6 used in the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. A 2.5 L AMC Inline-4 motor was available on entry-level models until 2003 when the 2.4 L DOHC Neon 4-cylinder engine replaced it. This model of the Jeep was the first Wrangler to have airbags.

Other changes included the 1999 additions of a larger standard fuel tank, child seat tethers and sound system improvements in 2000, and intermittent wipers, a new console, and an optional locking compartment for 2001.

TJ Wrangler Rubicon
The Wrangler Rubicon (named for the famed Rubicon Trail off-road test circuit) was introduced in 2003. It features front and rear Dana 44 axles with built-in air-actuated locking differentials, rear helical gear-driven limited slip differential, 4:1 low-range NV241 transfer case, 4.10:1 differential gears, 16 in alloy wheels, and Goodyear MTR P245×75×R16 tires. 2003 and 2004 featured the NV3550 manual transmission in the Rubicon while 2005 changed to a six speed. The 42RLE four-speed automatic transmission was available from 2003 to 2005.

A limited run of 1,000 Wrangler Rubicon "Tomb Raider" models were produced in 2003 to promote the Tomb Raider sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Along with the standard Rubicon fare, it also included exterior features such as 16 in. Alcoa forged aluminum wheels, Tomb Raider badging, and Mopar accessories including a light bar, riveted fender flares, tubular grille guard, diamond-plated bumper guard, etc. Interior features included Dark Slate fabric seats with red accent stitching down the center, silver surround instrument panel bezel, red seatbelts and a Tomb Raider badge with serial number. To match the vehicle in the film, it was offered in Bright Silver.

TJ Wrangler Unlimited
In 2004, Jeep introduced the Wrangler Unlimited with a 10 in (~25.4 cm) longer wheelbase, a Dana 44 rear axle with a 3:73 gear ratio and the Command-Trac 231 transfer case; this model is also known by its unofficial designation of LJ. In 2005, Jeep released the Rubicon Unlimited, which has the wheelbase of the Unlimited and the off-road features of the Rubicon such as front and rear Dana 44 axles with locking differentials, diamond plate rocker guards, a NVG241OR transfer case with a 4.0:1 low range, 245/75R16 Goodyear MT/R tires, a six-speed manual transmission and other comfort and convenience options not offered on other Wranglers.

Cherokee UK Version

Jeep® has shown it is still a favourite with the 4x4 experts after picking up yet another top off-roading award.

The rugged Jeep Cherokee, which is winning fans by the day, has been voted top choice in the "Best Mid Size" class of 4x4 magazine's 4x4 of the Year 2003 event. The car was described by the magazine judges as "positive" and "a winner every time".

Describing the Cherokee, John Carroll, Editor of 4x4 said: "Whether you're going to take your car off road or stay on the well beaten track there are few more positive, encouraging mid-size 4x4s out there. It's great at the wheel, and the auto gearbox is one of the best I've driven for the price. A winner every time."

It has been a good year so far for the popular Cherokee. In June a special edition Extreme Sport version was launched in 3.7 litre petrol (£20,880) and 2.8 litre CRD (£21,880) form. Nearly 40,000 Cherokee models have now been sold in the UK since its 1993 introduction.

Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler and Jeep in the UK said: "Once again it is nice to see the experts from a top off-roading magazine like 4x4 voting the Jeep Cherokee among their favourites. We know it's a fantastic car on and off-road but it's great to see that the people who test these cars, year in, year out, agree with us."

The Jeep Cherokee range starts at £17,995 for the 2.4 Sport and rises to £24,000 for the 2.8 CRD Limited. Like all Jeep vehicles, Cherokee comes with a three year, 60,000 mile warranty, roadside assistance and seven year, unlimited mileage anti-corrosion guarantee.
