Well TX is the oil and gun state, which can barely keep a decent electrical grid through a minor cold snap, so I doubt they'll be rushing to push those mandates.

I'm not all in on electrics, but hybrids (mild- and plug in) will work for the public until they can go fully electric. Currently the infrastructure doesn't support the American market and until the can make charging stations widely available to every household it's not a realistic option. All...

I read this awhile back on one of the sites and I'm excited to see both the Jeep Cherokee and Wagoneer S (or whatever it is officially named). I'm surprised there are no test mule sightings of these roaming around. Seems Stellantis is keeping everything close to the chest until it's close to...

I hope they choose the Cascade name, I like the sound of that.

Jeep Liberty Name To Be Revived For Future SUV In finding this article and my curiosity of what will replace the KL Cherokee, will Jeep bring back the Liberty nameplate? In my opinion this would cut down on some of the confusion between the two model lines and allow the "compact" model to have...

Looking at what Maserati just released with the GranTurismo GT, with both ICE and BEV sharing the same platform, Jeep will likely follow suit with the Wagoneer S. The STLA platforms were supposedly designed with this in mind when they were being developed.

I have to agree with you based on the emissions regulations, but it would be a waste of a design if it's EV only. If the Cherokee replacement is going to look like this, then there is salvation in that, but it's going to cost almost as much as a Grand Cherokee. I have a feeling they are going...

I can see them doing a larger grille opening for more air flow on this easily, just not sure they would give us the coupe like rear with the floating spoiler, which would be unique for an SUV. I'd like to see Jeep get some models that are more distinctive and aggressive with their styling...

Here's to hoping you're right all counts, but they should simplify the number of trims. They tend to go a little overboard. If it were simply-Limited, Overland, Trailhawk, and Summit, people wouldn't get so confused trying to get all the options they want.

I doubt this will sell only in an electric version, I expect gas or HEV models to sell beside it to sway buyers wanting something similar to the Range Rover Velar. They have the SO Hurricane engine, which is more powerful and likely the STLA Large platform will allow for better FE. I'll be...

Also, is Dodge going to move the interiors more upscale as well?

From what we saw of the teaser model under the tarp, it will be gas powered possibly hybrid of some sort. The reason I say that is because a full on electric model wouldn't make use of so many functional air vents.

Maybe fresh perspective is a great thing. We know that everyone is rushing to electrification, but the biggest sellers are CUV/SUV people haulers. Dodge and Alfa are getting large B CUVs, so Chrysler should get a C-segment model akin to the KM Cherokee. If they aren't planning on anything...

Referring to the KL Cherokee, but if they used the STLA platform wouldn't it be the medium version?

I love the front design of this Commander, I could see some variation of this for the KM Cherokee. Since the Cherokee is up for a redesign, you'd think we'd be seeing some prototypes of the new variant after they revealed this new Commander.

Jeep should do just 4 trims of the KM (Cherokee) replacement--Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, and Summit for the US market. Since the Compass is now over $26K starting and the two row Cherokee is likely to start at $36K, there isn't much room to play in. Jeep can easily target the...

They are already in two different classes. Even at 185" the Cherokee would still fall under the compact category as the Grand Cherokee currently sits at 195". I do expect the Grand Cherokee to be slightly wider and longer.

I was curious when the Cherokee (KM) was being replaced and hopefully it is this year or early 2022. Isn't it classified as a compact? I would assume it'll stay in that category, but move up in length to about 185" or so.

So all this from the article is wrong and you know for sure: The new 1.5-liter mild-hybrid electric vehicle (mHEV, also known as a 48V HEV in Europe) powertrain, will be similar to the eTorque system found on the Ram 1500 pickup. The mild-hybrid system replaces the traditional alternator on the...

I do believe this engine will be linked to the 9AT in the NA market. They wouldn't spend all this time developing the powertrain so similar to 2.0T eTorque, if it couldn't be used with a transmission for this market. Besides that, most other markets have already gotten their 2022 MY versions...
