It offered only 85 hp and despite very good fuel economy, was woefully short on power. The Renault-sourced Douvrin 2.1-liter turbo-diesel engine was also short-lived and available from 1985 to 1987.
It developed about the same power as the base 2.5 and was soon dropped and replaced by the 4.0. Two different 4WD systems were on offer - the Command-Trac part-time system and the Selec-Trac part-/full-time system.įor the first three (1984-1986) model years, a 2.8-liter V6 engine was offered too, namely the LR2 engine from the GM 60-degree V6 engine family. The only transmission choices for the 4.0 were a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. The 4.0 was initially offered as a 4WD only in 1987 before 2WD versions arrived the next year. Four- or five-speed manual transmissions and three- or four-speed automatic transmissions were offered on the 2.5, depending on the year and model. The 2.5 was offered with 4WD from the start and, from 1985, with 2WD. The four-cylinder was developed from the inline-six, with two cylinders removed and some other smaller changes to its geometry.
These two engines also happen to be directly related and share many characteristics, such as their cylinder spacing and bore widths. From the day the second-generation Jeep Cherokee was launched as a 1984 model until it went out of production in 2001, the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder and top 4.0-liter inline-six engines were part of the lineup.
