Jeep launches new Cherokee

Jeep has given its off-roader Cherokee a refresh for 2008. Taking styling cues from the original Cherokee, the all-new model has been brought up to date with a new suspension and steering system, while the interior benefits from leather interior, heated front memory seats, climate control, electric windows and cruise control as standard. A new feature is also the powered Sky Slider full-open canvas roof which can be operated while driving. All-new Cherokees get a full-time four-wheel drive system as standard across the range too. The 2008 Jeep Cherokee will be available with a 2.8-litre diesel engine only and a choice of manual and automatic gearbox.
