We know Jeep car The roughly 18-month docket includes battery-electric product launches S carriage and Recon, which introduces plug-ins 4xe hybrid powertrain in Gladiatorand maybe just switch engine mix in the Grand Cherokee. We also know there is a fifth generation Jeep Cherokee Along the way, the return of a nameplate of such historical importance to the brand that new CEO Antonio Filosa tactfully questioned its discontinuation under his predecessor. Back when Jeep was discussing the new model, back in 2022, we predicted it would launch in 2024 or 2025. Italian Newspaper Il Sole Ore 24 (translated), through Mopar Insiderbelieve that, “The Cherokee people A successor will be announced later this year.”
But the article only said that when the reporter asked Filosa about the arrival of the Cherokee next year, “Filosa considered the arrival of the Cherokee heir probable (as certainty could be announced at the end of the year). this year).” So let’s understand it according to the Italian proverb revenue.
The newspaper’s story led Cherokee to believe there was a possibility Stellantis would build the SUV at Melfi, Italy, factory for European market. Stellantis recently met with Italian unions and government officials about production there, trying to prevent more uprisings over production capacity and naming rights. From the car manufacturer Confirm the vehicle year allocated to the factoryone of the next generation Compassthe others are reported as two DS models (by Citroën luxury brands), Lancia Gamma crossand a Opel. The name Cherokee never appeared. Those five Melfi vehicles are all based on the STLA Medium architecture, while The next Cherokee continues to receive Prediction for major platform STLA. The Italian factory Cassino built the model on the STLA Large as it is now Maserati Grecale and the future Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
The Cherokee for our market is expected to be produced at Stellantis’ Toluca, Mexico plant, the same current construction facility as the Compass. The automaker confirmed this week the driver S on the STLA Large platform also targets Toluca, as does Recon on the STLA Frame architecture.
On a more solid footing, the upcoming Cherokee will grow some and offer premium options like the Wagoneer trim. Compare STLA major specifications On the CUSW platform, the STLA Large has a wheelbase that is 7 to 8 inches longer than the old Cherokee, a vehicle length that is 4 to 11 inches longer, and a width that is about 1.5 inches wider. The upper end of those dimensions could make a new Cherokee about the same size as the old one Avoidance journey.
Motorcycle trends suspect a starting price of around $40,000, a guess that would put the all-new model $1,000 less than the price of the 2023 Cherokee, which remains on Jeep’s website and shows 900 in stock despite the end produced that year.
