New Jeep model showcases upcoming Cherokee design: First official shots revealed
The Jeep brand, an American automobile manufacturer, has disclosed the first visuals of the forthcoming generation of its Cherokee Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). The unveiling took place on Thursday and marks a significant comeback for the model, which was temporarily discontinued in 2023 following a decade-long tenure that offered mixed success.
The next iteration of the Cherokee, slated for release in late 2025, is expected to bear a striking resemblance to the Grand Cherokee, a staple in Jeep's lineup. Preliminary reports indicate that the new Cherokee will boast a design inspired by its more distinguished sibling.
Although technical specifications are yet to be confirmed, it has been suggested that the SUV will be equipped with a hybrid powertrain to bolster its market competitiveness. The vehicle is anticipated to sit on Stellantis' modular STLA Large platform, implying a new direction for the model that might share similarities with the upcoming Alfa Romeo Stelvio. Furthermore, whispers of an electric variant are circulating in the industry whispers.
The final product will be presented to the public later this year.
