Jeep Cherokee (SJ)
The original full-size Cherokee introduced the term "sport utility vehicle" to the American automotive vocabulary. Using the Wagoneer's body with a two-door configuration, V8 options, and Quadra-Trac full-time four-wheel drive, it offered car-like comfort with genuine off-road ability.
