A practical four-door model, it offered varying trim levels, powertrain options, and fourwheel-driveconfigurations. It also inherited the SUV- pioneering uniframe construction. The 4.0L sixcylinder remained the standard powerplant, with a large displacement 5.2L V-8 as an option. A 5.9L V-8 was even offered as a limited edition, giving the Grand Cherokee loads of performance and horsepower.Wrangler and Cherokee styling were redesigned and refined for the 1997 model year (production onthe 1996 Wrangler was cancelled due to the reworking). As a result, Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Roadnamed Wrangler its “4x4 of the Year,” and Four Wheeler Magazine named Cherokee its “Four Wheelerof the Year” in 1997.The current (1999) Grand Cherokee has received some upgrades as well.
