OK.
I spent a LOT of time with the Cherokee at the auto show.
... hmm...
My KK FEELS wider inside. Not sure if it is or isn't, but it feels wider inside.
Honestly overall, it's the size of a KJ so if you're used to that, you'll get used to a KL real quick.
It has the XJ's seating position... more car-like instead of bar stool, like a KJ/KK.
The front overhang doesn't look NEARLY AS BAD up close and personal. I mean it's bad but it's not ... ridiculous. Interior is ridiculously high quality. Better than the Grand Cherokee. Go figure, right?
Seats are very comfortable.
Cargo space is lacking a bit, but we all knew that was gonna happen. It has about as much cargo FLOOR space as a KJ *but* don't expect to stand anything up back there.
There was a full sized spare in the Trailhawk I saw, under the cargo floor. It was a matching tire, Firestone Destination A/T. Speaking of tires, in the case of the Trailhawk, it looked like you could fit something a tad bit larger without a lift.
Steering column is kinda weird. The same issue with the Dart with which it shares some architecture... but not all. It doesn't drop as much as we Americans are used to. Takes some time to adjust if you're NOT used to what I call the "School Bus Position"... lol3.gif
Nothing you touch on a regular basis felt cheap inside. Not even the doorhandles. Yes, they are plastic, but they feel much more substantial.
It seems to attract an older crowd. I am NOT sure why??? I mean are these just old XJ buyers who wanna see the new Cherokee? I don't get it. I do believe that the name is what sells this vehicle more than anything. I mean who doesn't know what a Jeep Cherokee is?
