The Jeep Cherokee MK3, designated as the KK, was introduced to the UK market in 2008 as a more rugged and boxier evolution of its predecessor, the KJ. The MK3 received minor updates during its lifecycle but no major facelift. It remained on sale in the UK until 2011, when it was quietly discontinued in the lead-up to the more refined MK4 (KL) launch in 2014.

Models were often equipt with the Infinity® premium sound system.
