According to François Castaing, Vice President for Product Engineering and Development, the smallest U.S. Īs AMC began the development of the next Jeep in 1985, management created a business process that is now known as product lifecycle management (PLM). However, the basic design for the Cherokee's replacement was well under way by AMC's in-house designers and the 1989 Jeep Concept 1 show car foretold the basic design. Three outside (non-AMC) designers- Larry Shinoda, Alain Clenet, and Giorgetto Giugiaro-were also under contract with AMC to create and build a clay model of the Cherokee XJ replacement, then known as the "XJC" project. The Grand Cherokee's origins date back to 1983 when American Motors Corporation (AMC) was designing a successor to the smaller Jeep Cherokee (XJ).
At its introduction, while most SUVs were still manufactured with body-on-frame construction, the Grand Cherokee has used a unibody chassis from the start.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a range of mid-size SUVs produced by the American manufacturer Jeep.
