Cherokee gets a fresh angle

07th August 2008

Jeep is bringing boxy back! Following the lukewarm reception received by the current Cherokee’s curvy lines in 2001, the US firm has reverted to the square styling of its Nineties model.

The new Cherokee, on sale this month, also gets uprated suspension and steering, plus leather trim and an optional ‘Sky Slider’ canvas roof. There’s only one engine – a 2.8-litre diesel – and manual or auto boxes. Prices start at £24,595.
