The Appeal
The second-generation Cherokee was an impressive piece of kit in practically every lens. These were a paradigm-setting, zeitgeist-smashing masterstroke, and are often credited as being the true origin point of what we now known as the SUV.
If there were any of these more desirable than the other, it was the Orvis Edition. Sat comfortably at the top of the range, these vehicles knew how to amp up the luxury in the form of leather upholstery, walnut inlays and a whole host of top-notch tech, to boot.
This imposing example is a particularly grand one - a truly dependable, family-friendly modern classic that's ready and waiting to embark on its next adventure.
