Jeep’s Next Five Years: A Pickup and—Go Figure—More SUVs

From Car and Driver

Easily Fiat Chrysler’s strongest brand, Jeep will only become more so in the coming five years. As laid out by FCA during its 2018 Capital Markets Day, Jeep will continue aggressively expanding both in the United States and globally to maintain its place atop the wave of demand for crossovers and SUVs. Next to the expected updates and redesigns of current models such as the Renegade, Cherokee, and Compass, Jeep will introduce at least four all-new models, including a Wrangler-branded pickup truck, Wagoneer-badged full-size SUVs, a sub-Renegade-sized subcompact crossover, and a compact three-row offering. Here is a quick rundown of what to expect:

“Baby” SUV: A new crossover even smaller than the Renegade that will offer some sort of electrification. It’s unclear if it will come to the United States or not.

Cherokee: Will be redesigned. READ MORE >>

Compass: Will be refreshed. READ MORE >>
