It鈥檚 been a rough ride for the Jeep Cherokee back home in America, thanks to controversial styling that didn鈥檛 really appeal to the tastes of American buyers. As a result, the Cherokee has spent the last five years sitting on the sidelines, even as other similarly-sized SUVs have seen skyrocketing sales in the States. It鈥檚 taken a while, but Jeep finally revealed a facelifted Cherokee at this year鈥檚 Detroit Motor Show. Though the new Cherokee won鈥檛 arrive in Europe until the autumn, we traveled to California to take a test drive in the US version. Obviously, styling is the biggest change. All of the sheetmetal ahead of the windscreen is new, with a higher bonnet-line and more conventional lighting assemblies that give the Cherokee a close resemblance to the Grand Cherokee and the new Compass. Reshaping the front end also gave Jeep the opportunity to rework the underlying structure for better crash protection. Out back, the entire hatch lid is new, and it鈥檚 made from composite materials to save weight.
Superior traction over loose ground, mud, ice or snow is the result. If any significant difference between wheel speeds is detected during heavy braking, the four-channel Anti-lock Braking System is designed to automatically reduce the braking force applied to that wheel, helping the driver to retain control. ABS is also standard on the 110 station wagon. Excellent axle articulation, thanks to its coil sprung suspension, also plays its part in keeping the Defender at the front of the pack off road. The solid coil sprung suspension helps the wheels to maintain contact with the ground and follow the contours of rough surfaces. Every drive off road is enhanced by the Defender's six-speed transmission. It has been specially developed for heavy-duty applications. The transmission is now lighter, stronger and provides smoother on-road performance too. A lower first gear reduces the crawl speed for tackling big dinosaur eggs, and it combines superbly with the increased engine torque to make towing effortless. Incredibly, since its debut in 1948, there are still over seventy five percent of all Defenders made still in use.
That is why the purchase of the 4脳4 jeep is a long and exhausting process! Whether we like it or not, if we drive continuously in off road conditions and participate in many of road adventures, not only the running gear wears out faster, but also the vehicle in general. And different rear defects show up with time - cracks in the body, problems with electronics and others. From such purchases you should also avoid. Some more advices: when you buy your 4脳4 off road jeep, pay attention to the things that could ask some immediate investments, like, if the tires are worn-out you must consider the purchase of new ones. Then of course check whether the window glasses or lumps aren鈥檛 cracked. Also the lack of CD player would require additional expenses. When talking about the technical condition of the vehicle it is of course better to consult with the professional, especially if you buy your first 4脳4 jeep, because it is not the same as buying the city car. If you already have experience with off road jeeps, you can count on your own judgment about the vehicle. Of course after you have had a test drive - on different roads, trying different gears and the capability of all-wheel drive. Don鈥檛 forget to check the engine, the running gear and the body - how rusty the vehicle is. Also pay attention to the clutch, gear box and to thousands of other important details. Usually when somebody asks my advice about the purchase and the choice of the best 4脳4 off road jeep, I give a simple answer - the one who has run less! The year of production has little importance - what does matter is the condition of the vehicle. If it is good, you鈥檒l be able to drive safely and with no worries for a longer period!
