The Appeal
Marketed as a compact ‘Sportswagon’, the Jeep Cherokee is often cited as an important innovation in the development of the modern-day SUV. Combining impressive off-road capability with a comfortable interior, the Cherokee proved to be immensely successful.
Here we have a very presentable example of the Cherokee Classic. Garaged and used sparingly since the vendor acquired it in 2011, this Jeep is ready to be used as its designers intended.
