What comes after the KL?

If we're talking model year, a company can introduce a 2023 model earlier in calendar year 2022. Electrification takes some time to retool because assembly time is money on the production line. Stellantis states electrification is a given for the future of Jeep. This doesn't make the next change a simple restyle.

This just guessing on my part.

I can promise you there won't be a WK2 Grand Cherokee for 2022 MY either, the WL74 launches later this year.

Yeah, I figured that.

Oh yeah that's a good point too, and I absolutely understand this concept. The 2019 KL refresh was released in late 2017, my 2019 Cherokee was ordered in February 2018 and I picked it up in March 2018; and the Caliber had a long first year too, my 2007 Caliber was built November 2006 and I picked it up in January 2007.

We've seen vehicles "missing" from documents before too.

But wait, I thought it didn't exist.

The only argument I see from that image is that it goes to March 2020, and the claimed document is as of March 2021.

Like I said before though, we've seen vehicles missing from these documents before.

be a good plan.....

Some people cannot understand the difference between executed and existing.

Go on

I do hope that the KM keeps a 6 cylinder option, just for my own uses. However, I might just keep an eye on how the WL does and pick one up used in a few years when I want to trade my KL
 
It more a comment about other places and the existence that something didn't exist if it isn't implemented.

There is a KM and there is a 3.0T

But also the was a CUSW+ SUV and 300 replacement Chrysler. There was also CUSW Chrysler.

I agree with you 3.OT when Kokomo is fully running for the KM would be awesome.

...not to mention the concept of something being OBE (overcome by events).
 
I don't know, but I hope it's more reliable than KL has been. We bought one new in 2018 and it's been drinking oil as fast as gasoline ever since. And the steering column is making an awful popping noise when you steer now at 42,000 miles. And there's been a multitude of TSBs and recalls on it, one of which had to do with preventing vehicle fires. Goodness....

The Ford Escape PHEV is the current poster child for OBE. It was supposed to be available in the Spring of 2020. First there was Covid, and now Ford announced production is delayed because of the chip shortage.

Likely will die altogether with an all EV Small CUV coming.
Escape becomes the value entry level Ford for the U.S. when Ecosport dies.
