Jeep executives have confirmed that a new generation of the Cherokee is in the pipeline. It should exist in 100% electric.
In recent years, Jeep has focused its efforts on its top of the range, with the return of the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, then the total redesign of the Grand Cherokee. In contrast, the American is preparing a small crossover, cut out for Europe, which will be its first electric vehicle.
And in the middle of all this, the core Cherokee range seems abandoned! The latest generation will soon be 9 years old, a canonical age in this category. Moreover, the vehicle has already been withdrawn from the European catalog, where it was in competition with the Compass. Will it disappear permanently?

Jeep executives said no. A new generation is well in preparation. Jim Morrison, head of the US subsidiary, said it will be “bigger”, surely to fit better between the Compass and the Grand Cherokee. Above all, big boss Christian Meunier said that there will be “a lot of electrification”. However, he did not give more details on the technique!
There is no doubt that there will be a plug-in hybrid to begin with. It is also the absence of this offer that weighed down the model with us, Jeep having launched it on the Renegade and Compass. The big unknown is the presence of a 100% electric variant. It is very likely, Jeep having said that it will launch an electric model in each new range from 2025.
It is in any case an almost obligatory passage if the model wants to make its return to the European market!
