Powertrain Options and Availability
Two engines have been offered: a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder for the base SE, and a 4.0 liter inline 6-cylinder for other Cherokee models. Initially, the 4-cylinder model came only with a 5-speed manual gearbox, but a 3-speed automatic transmission has been available since 1998. Six-cylinder models could have a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.
