2010 Jeep Cherokee

Descendant of arguably the world's first mainstream compact 4x4, the latest Jeep Cherokee continues its tradition of compact dimensions, real off-road ability and boxy design, the last bit thankfully brought back after a disastrous flirtation with rounded styling in its previous iteration. The current version debuted in 2008, and updates for 2010 are limited to minor changes in trim materials.

The Cherokee looks great in a utilitarian sort of way, like a less gawdy version of a Hummer or a G-Wagen. And with the chrome grille, mirror-finish exterior trim, metallic roof rails, 18-inch alloys and body-coloured fender flares, it looks upscale too, even though it competes in the "affordable" segment. It is technically a compact 4x4, but appears to be a fair bit taller than our own midsize Grand Cherokee.
