Overview

  • Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf confirmed the all-new Cherokee will arrive in late 2025 offering both a traditional gas engine and a newly developed hybrid powertrain option.
  • The model shares the STLA Large platform underpinning the Wagoneer S and upcoming Recon but will launch without a full battery-electric variant.
  • Design updates include a more upright, boxy silhouette reminiscent of a scaled-down Grand Cherokee and standard driver-assist features such as adaptive cruise control.
  • Jeep plans competitive pricing to place the Cherokee squarely between the Compass and Grand Cherokee, aiming to strengthen its mainstream lineup.
  • While Jeep has not officially named a production site, analysts and union officials anticipate manufacturing at a Mexico plant and note the idled Illinois facility that built the previous generation.
