Miles Overview
The 1997 Cherokee is a boxy, body-on-frame SUV that was built to go off-road, not just look like it could. It rides like a truck and the steering is vague on pavement, but that's the trade-off for genuine four-wheel-drive capability. The interior is basic and utilitarian, with a flat-folding rear seat that turns the cargo area into a practical, weatherproof load floor. Owners love the durable 4.0L inline-six engine and the simple, easy-to-repair design that keeps these Cherokees on the road for decades. The SE is the base Cherokee, skipping the Sport's power windows and the Country's woodgrain trim but keeping the same rugged four-wheel drive hardware. It carries the legendary 4.0L I6 mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic, with four-wheel drive as standard. The manual gearbox makes the most of the torquey straight-six, though you'll give up the available Up Country suspension package found on higher trims.
