Powertrain Options and Availability
Cherokees may have either a 4-cylinder engine or a 4.0-liter inline 6-cylinder, the latter developing 177 horsepower in 1990. Both engines gained power in 1991, growing to 130 and 190 horsepower, respectively. For 1996, the 4-cylinder lost five horses and sixes reached peak horsepower and torque at lower rpm than before. Command-Trac 4WD is a part-time system with shift-on-the-fly capability. Selec-Trac is a full-time system that can be used on smooth, dry pavement.
