"Body. Soul. Only in a Jeep Cherokee," 1985

Summary

AMC introduced a new compact, unibody design on its Cherokee and Wagoneer models for 1984. They were the most thoroughly redesigned Jeeps in 20 years, and they were an immediate hit. These XJ-series Jeeps combined the flexibility of four-wheel drive with the comfortable ride of a sedan, and they pioneered the modern concept of the sport utility vehicle.
