A NEW mid-range Jeep Cherokee 4.0 Classic is being launched in the UK next month. The £20,995 newcomer is powered by Jeep's six-cylinder 4.0-litre petrol engine mated to an automatic transmission.

It slots into the Cherokee range between the high-value, 2.5-litre petrol and turbo diesel models and the lavishly-equipped Orvis flagship versions. Standard equipment includes driver and passenger air bags, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, alloy wheels, remote central locking and immobiliser.
