A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 1999

The 1999 Cherokee against the 1998, the previous model year we hold. Only what Jeep’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

No retail configuration added or dropped: the 8 sold in the 1998 are all here.
Same range as the 1998: curb weight and length.
Curb weight differs on 1 of 4 configurations sold in both years: +2 lb.

The 1999 documents

1 document behind the 1999 Cherokee’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.
