Year to Year Changes
1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
Side door-guard beams were installed, and the base model was renamed SE. Grand Wagoneers were deleted, but the V8 engine was optional on all models--automatic transmission only.
1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
In 1995, only SE and Limited models were available, plus a Laredo option for the SE. All Grand Cherokees now had all-disc brakes, and the V8 engine gained 15 pound-feet of torque. A flip-up liftgate window joined the option list, and the 5-speed manual transmission was dropped.
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
A passenger-side airbag was added for 1996, in a redesigned dashboard. Outside, a restyled grille dipped into the front bumper, and optional fog lamps were integrated into that bumper. A new steering wheel contained cruise-control switches and a center horn pad. Front and rear shoulder belts gained height adjustment.
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
Given the host of revisions made last year, changes to the 1997 Grand Cherokee were minimal.
1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
Jeep added a monster 5.9-liter V8 to a new model named 5.9 Limited. 'The big V8 came only with Quadra-Trac 4WD and an automatic transmission. Jeep's flagship was redesigned for '99.
