What Jeep should develop is a worthy, RWD-based successor to the Cherokee XJ, but sized like the original ZJ, slotted in between the FWD Compass and the 2-row Grand Cherokee. That would give Jeep a truly unique offering in the compact SUV/CUV segment.

So exactly how does the 4XE hybrid 2.0L I4 make so much more horsepower and torque than the 2.0L turbo 4 it’s based on? I know it has electric motors, but that’s still a big increase.

I like the way this Limited model looks. I think it's nicer looking then the white Overland Jeep showed a little while back. As long as it's available with the panoramic sunroof, the new Grand Cherokee WL74 may very well be my next ride.

According to the report, the Dodge Hornet will start production a year from now. Therefore we should be seeing prototypes and test mules hitting the streets any day now. Right?

As well as looks and proportions. RWD-based would be nice, too.

The proportions look good. Much better than the 3 row version.

Just don't expect anything even remotely based on this for Chrysler or Dodge, since new boss Stellantis seems to have decided they will continue to ignore both.

"WL74 will feature rear styling reminiscent of the 2005 to 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK)" Overall the WK74 looks attractive and well proportioned, but the rear styling seems more derivative of the Kia Sorrento.

I hope you're right, because I agree. Aside from vastly improving the Cherokee's proportions (and thus looks), as well as everything else you pointed out, it would give Jeep a unique offering in the compact SUV segment. Leave the FWD/AWD models to Chrysler and Dodge.
