New Jeep Cherokee Revealed With Hybrid Powertrain With Fully Electric Version
Prior to its formal launch later this year, Jeep has shown the first official pictures of the next Cherokee. The SUV will take the place of the Compass and Grand Cherokee in Jeep’s global lineup, marking the return of the Cherokee nameplate, which was terminated in 2023 following a ten-year production run. Stellantis’ STLA Large platform, upon which the new generation Jeep Cherokee is based, should enable a fully electric variant as well.
The third-generation Compass, which was just unveiled, likewise follows Jeep’s most recent design language, as does the new Cherokee. Large rectangular headlights with expanded parts for the indicators are positioned on either side of the new Cherokee’s signature Jeep seven-slot grille up front. There is a lot of black plastic cladding on the front bumper, along with silver inserts on either side and an air dam at the bottom.

The side view shows a blacked-out roof and pillars, new alloy wheels, extra plastic cladding, and “Cherokee” writing on the front doors. Although Jeep hasn’t revealed any pictures of the rear end of the new Cherokee, it is anticipated to have a sizable rectangular light bar, similar to the one on the most recent Compass.
Additionally, it appears that Jeep is holding off on releasing interior photos of the new Cherokee until later this year. A 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, an all-digital instrument cluster, and a recessed touchbar for the climate controls were all anticipated features of the Cherokee.

Stellantis’ innovative STLA Large platform, which supports all-electric, gasoline, and hybrid variants, is utilized by the new Cherokee. As of right moment, Jeep has only confirmed a hybrid drivetrain for the Cherokee; specifics are still being kept under wraps.As previously stated, the global market introductions of the new Jeep Cherokee are anticipated to start in 2026, with a full unveiling scheduled for later in 2025. It is unlikely that the new Cherokee will be introduced in India.
EV and pure-petrol models are probably going to be added to the Cherokee lineup. The latter powertrain, which consists of two motors and a 100kWh battery, may be similar to the Wagoneer S electric SUV. It is anticipated that the output will fall short of the 600 horsepower of the Wagoneer S. The 3.0-litre “Hurricane” twin-turbo inline-6 engine from Jeep, which produces 548 horsepower and 707 Nm in its most powerful configuration, may be used in the gasoline-powered Cherokee.
