Ending current production does NOT mean Jeep will be abandoning this market segment, one in which historically the current Cherokee has flourished, but simply means a replacement and its manufacturing facility is still under development. The outgoing Cherokee, of which I have owned two over seven years, is a reliable, competent and satisfying SUV, which truthfully and candidly has a few drawbacks that a new generation mid-size Jeep could remedy.
I venture to predict the solution and projected resolutions. The next Cherokee will share a platform and manufacturing facility with the upcoming Wagoner S all electric Jeep. This resolves the minor issues I have with my Cherokee experience, a tad too narrow, a tad too short and not capable enough to match Grand Cherokee levels in demanding uses.Wider, longer, rear wheel and all wheel drive driven and based on the new STLA Large platform, clearly much more capable with a “feel” Jeep owners demand. This next generation Cherokee, unlike its Wagoner S sibling, will offer a four cylinder turbo engine at entry level, moving to Hurricane six power and a possible hybrid six offered in a high level model, perhaps the Overland.
There is no way Jeep abandons the segment, or the well received and popular Cherokee model especially since its replacement foundation building block has already been announced, shown and is close to production.

No, new Cherokee is due out in 2025 and should be built in Mexico. According to some of the Chrysler employees who posted stuff on their LinkedIn page it will have an HEV and is codenamed KM.
