The Cherokee was introduced as direct competition, to sway customers to keep buying jeep instead of Chevrolet K5 or Ford Bronchos.

Jeep made their model smaller and lighter which caught the fancy of the youth. Essentially, Cherokee created a new class.

Where Jeep CJ-5 left, the Cherokee had its journey of being sporty and youthful. The extra room in the Cherokee Chief lets you pack whatever you used to leave behind.
