Jeep® fans, the wait is almost over. The all-new 2026 Jeep Cherokee (KM) is on its way, and it’s bringing a big change with it: it’s going hybrid-only. That’s right—this will be the first North American Jeep vehicle offered exclusively with a hybrid powertrain. No gas-only or plug-in (PHEV) options—just one smart, fuel-saving setup built for adventure.

 

2026 Jeep® Cherokee Limited 4×4 Makes Its Detroit 4Fest Debut​

Jeep Shows Off Its Newest SUV to Core Enthusiasts​

Yesterday at the Detroit 4Fest, Jeep® enthusiasts got a close-up look at the all-new 2026 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4×4 at the Jeep display inside Holly Oaks ORV Park in Holly, Michigan. Surrounded by mud pits, obstacle courses, and a community of diehard off-road fans, the Cherokee drew plenty of attention as Jeep’s latest contender in the competitive midsize SUV segment.

 
In all seriousness, Jeep should offer a taxi package on the KM. It's a Jeep, so such a package won't damage the brand's reputation. Seeing beefed up Cherokees on black steel wheels weaving through big city Hellscapes will only enhance the Cherokee's image. Such a package could share interior parts and some trim pieces with a Charger law enforcement package.

I thought they were going to make the Cherokee at Belvidere Assembly. Additionally, now that Canada has scrapped tariffs on American vehicles, you would think they would make this vehicle and the new Compass and Brampton.
 
Could be made in Belvedere in the Future when the plant is re-aligned. But Brampton is too narrow. STLA Mid only
 
People continue to project their own bias into the market place. That one would say put a lazy old powertrain in it or I won't buy it, shows it. Please Please put something that is heavy, underpowered, poorly packaged, and less efficient..... is NOT a broader market position.

Lets sit it product meeting a make that pitch, yes there is no ROI and it make the product worse is nearly every aspect weight, power, balance, braking, handling, emission, efficiency, manufacturing complexing, regulatory approval ...... Sure Kevin... here is a paper box your last check will come in Mail ........ but but guys on the Mopar forum want old tech engines cuz even though hybrid tech is proven and in high demand everywhere else and decades old just because they are new adverse. Great Kevin you want us to compete with our own Used vehicles? Good luck in life.

We want affordability... Build one powerplant and build it well. I not concerned at all with it being Hybrid, in fact it would be suicide NOT to offer it as Hybrid, I am not concerned with it being exclusively a Hybrid.... I am concerned that it is PSA based.

My expectation is this is the FWD Large so the engine will run direction for best packaging.... So if there is another powertrain offered I would like to see a upgrade to the 2.0 and e-axle .....

As for putting the Hurricane 6 in it.... LOVE THE Idea... SRT Cherokee.....:D :D :D :D not happening but love it. They should drop the in JGC and Wrangler first though.
Where is the new Chrysler???
