    All-New 2026 Jeep® Cherokee (KM) Prepares for Debut Late 2025

    Punch and it's not a DCT, at least not a classic one with preselected gears. From what I know it has 4 physical gears or reductor. Depending on application it has 6 or 7 operational gears. For 48V MHEV it's 6, for PHEV it's 7. And yes, it's Punch.

    All-New 2026 Jeep® Cherokee (KM) Prepares for Debut Late 2025

    @patfromigh I'm not sure about transmission. I believe it's a Punch bit it seems it's a high voltage hybrid and there is a rumour that the same or similar powertrain is considered for use on STLA Medium products in Europe.

    All-New 2026 Jeep® Cherokee (KM) Prepares for Debut Late 2025

    I see that most guys here do not realize that this is a FWD based model and it's launched with PSA sourced powertrain, the infamous Prince engine. Speaking about Toyota hybrids. Many people do not like scooter like effect which their EVT provides. Scooter like Piaggio Beverley and such. If you...

    Alfa Romeo and Maserati could join development?

    Stellantis made a so called premium poole witth Alfa, DS and Lancia. Technically Alfa can't have less in common with these 2 brands. From what I know STLA Large was considered by many European brands at the time and was discarded. Dunno the reason. Costs, French supplier base... But STLA Medium...

    A choice by the new boss of Stellantis that speaks volumes about his change of strategy?

    Unfortunately powertrain development takes a lot of time and a lot has been lost due to Manley and especially due to Tavares. Damage is irreversible. I repeat something which I typed on another forum. Combined FCA+PSA marker share in Europe once reached almost 25% while now it's around 16%. At...

    And then Carlos killed Maserati R&D.

    Alfa Romeo and Maserati could join development?

    Basically, this isn't something new. They will just get back to what was started (under late Sergio) and how it should be.

    Alfa Romeo and Maserati could join development?

    "We will have the new [Stellantis] CEO [on the] 23rd of June. There will be an announcement to define the alignment with him," Filici said. "Then after this time, we will go ahead with the presentation of the strategic plan of Alfa Romeo and Maserati, together finding synergies where is...

    A choice by the new boss of Stellantis that speaks volumes about his change of strategy?

    But beware, the "new" Stellantis could review its technological synergy strategies. It has long been said that the strengths of the group's Italian brands take a dim view of the gradual replacement of their technologies by those whose roots come from PSA (especially with the Puretech scandal...

    Dodge Reportedly Planning New Crossover Between Hornet and Durango

    Something doesn't add up. We are talking about year when current generation Dodge Hornet should be already dead if all goes according to plans. STLA Medium based car should offer more interior space for a given size than comparable STLA Large based car. Of course if Peugeot did design it properly.

    2026 Cherokee (KM) Spied - Nobody cares because of the 1.6L powertrain

    It depends on competitors. But yes, low to mildly boosted 2.0 GME running on Miller cycle would be a much better choice. I don't like this push up with PSA sourced engines. We ate the **** in Europe. But it's too much with US. And IMO this product has engine problem on pointing to a wrong...
