I glanced at my mother's XK Commander the other day, and couldn't help but see a Cherokee. The styling ques are EERILY similar, and the model names: XJ & XK! I think this was Jeep's silent throwback to the Cherokee, and I would say that the XK is more of a Cherokee than the 2014...
It looks more like the 1997 and later XJs, but I couldn't find a side-by-side.
Or for those of you that would prefer to see it as a Grand Wagoneer...
I'm more inclined toward this version. When they changed the grille on the FJ the hood shape never really made sense.
Back in the dreamtime oh so many years ago I had a '64 Gladiator with the original grille, and the shape made good sense.

edit to add:
My old J200 looked pretty much like this one, except that it was gray and had less chrome, and had the short bed (what would qualify nowadays as halfway between short and long). The grille on the lowest models was painted. Note the tire treads. I think those are the same as what I had, "Commercial" 700-15 6 ply bias tires. Unbelievable traction. Its only real fault was the legendary crappy engine.
