The Appeal

Similar to how Land Rover offered the Range Rover and Discovery as more comfortable and road focussed versions of their capable off-roaders, the Jeep Cherokee proved to be as capable on tarmac as it was on a rutted track. 
With a more compact footprint than a Range Rover but every bit as accomplished both on and off-road, this Cherokee 4.0-litre Limited would make a great vehicle for those who enjoy an adventure-filled outdoor lifestyle. Many enthusiasts consider the 4.0-litre Limited to be the cream of the crop, making this car eminently desirable. With lots of recent expenditure on the mechanicals and cosmetics, this is a smart example that doesn’t look its age.
