1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The Grand Cherokee came only in a 4-door body with a one-piece rear liftgate. Standard features included a driver-side airbag, 4-wheel antilock brakes, and a 5-speed manual transmission. A 4-speed automatic transmission was optional. Standard engine for base, Laredo, and Limited models was a 190-horsepower, 4.0-liter 6-cylinder. Later in the 1993 model year, a 5.2-liter 220-horsepower V8 became standard in the new Grand Wagoneer (a one-year-only, top-of-the-line Grand Cherokee). Three distinct 4WD systems were available. Part-time Command-Trac; Selec-Trac, a full-time system that could be switched between 2WD and 4WD; and Quadra-Trac, a permanently engaged 4WD system. Two-wheel-drive models arrived late in the 1993 model run.
