Jeep Cherokee’s restyled appearance makes it a complete package
Jeep Cherokee's restyled appearance makes it a complete package

What it is: The current Jeep Cherokee was introduced as a 2014 model, and the thin slit headlights were immediately a controversial design element. Jeep still sold them by the truckload because it is a compact crossover, and they all sold a truckload, but Jeep clearly listened to prospective buyers and made big changes to the external appearance. The thin slits are gone and more traditionally shaped headlights have taken their place.
