00:00Welcome to the new video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:05Today, we're all about the upcoming 2026 Jeep Cherokee,
00:09which Jeep claims will be the most technologically advanced Cherokee ever.
00:16The market launch is planned for late 2025,
00:19and the first official teaser images are already available,
00:22providing an exciting insight into the new design of the popular crossover.
00:25The Cherokee presents itself with a fresh, angular look
00:30that emphasizes more width at both the front and rear.
00:35The shape of the tailgate is particularly striking, with its striking lines.
00:41As are the taillights, which extend into the sides of the body.
00:46The new design language is inspired by the revised compass
00:49and the upcoming facelift of the Grand Cherokee.
00:51The upcoming Rakan model also apparently served as a design template.
00:59In the limited version shown,
01:01the Cherokee already has a roof rack that is ideal for transporting a bicycle or kayak.
01:07There are also two-tone rims with a milled surface and good are all-season tires.
01:13Although Jeep has remained tight-lipped about the trim levels,
01:16current information suggests three variants will be available at launch.
01:21The base version is called Sport,
01:25the mid-range version Latitude,
01:26known as North in Canada,
01:28and the well-equipped Limited variant.
01:32As with the current compass,
01:33all-wheel drive could be standard,
01:35which is also expected for the new Cherokee.
01:38This positions the vehicle exactly between the smaller compass
01:42and the larger Grand Cherokee.
01:45Ideal for buyers looking for a middle ground between compactness and space.
01:48Technically, the 2620 Cherokee is based on the STLA large platform from Stellantis.
01:56This allows for both longitudinally and transversely mounted engines.
02:00In the case of the Cherokee, the latter is the case, as is typical for modern crossovers.
02:07Jeep already made the switch to transversely mounted engines with the KL generation in 2013.
02:12Production of the new generation takes place in Mexico,
02:16more precisely at the Toluca plant,
02:18where the compass and the Wagoner S for North America are currently already being built.
02:24Under the almost flat hood of the new Cherokee,
02:27there will be at least one hybrid drivetrain based on a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine,
02:33presumably derived from the engine of the former Group PSA.
02:35This unit is to be combined with a three-speed transmission specially developed for hybrid applications.
02:45In addition, a pure gasoline version is also likely to be offered in order to keep up with the strong competition.
02:52The logical choice here would be the turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder known from the compass.
02:59Rumors of an all-electric version are also making the rounds.
03:01However, it is unclear whether Stantis North America will already have the necessary resources
03:08for such an implementation in the current political and economic situation.
03:13In particular, fluctuating demand for electric vehicles and political interventions
03:18in existing environmental regulations pose challenges.
03:23Although nothing has been officially confirmed in terms of price,
03:26the new Cherokee with hybrid drive is likely to start at around âŹ35,000 in the upscale limited trim.
03:36Cheaper versions could cost around âŹ29,000,
03:39while the top-of-the-range equipment could reach âŹ40,000 depending on the extras.
