After much anticipation, Jeep has unveiled the look for its upcoming Cherokee model set to release this year.
The automaker released images of the 2026 Jeep Cherokee on May 29, teasing the vehicle it says will bring midsize SUV customers a "new, efficient and powerful hybrid propulsion option."
"This is a historic year for the Jeep brand, with more product, innovation, choice and standard content for customers than ever before," Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf said in a news release.
Broderdorf added that pricing for the new model will be competitive joining the Jeep Compass and Jeep Grand Cherokee on the brand's "winning mainstream lineup."
An official release date for the new model has not been shared, though Jeep confirmed in a promotional video that it will be available in late 2025.
"The new Jeep Cherokee joins the mission to empower customers with the freedom to adventure their way with unmatched Jeep capability and innovation," the company wrote.
The internal combustion engine vehicle marks the first new Jeep Cherokee model in three years.

Doritos, Mountain Dew could get warning labels in this state
Doritos, Mountain Dew could get warning labels in this state Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has yet to indicate if he plans to sign the bill into law. Show Caption Hide Caption FDA redefines what foods can be labeled as 'healthy' Foods will be required to contain certain ingredients and be under specific limits for added sugar, saturated fat and sodium to be marketed as "healthy." Scripps News A bipartisan bill out of Texas, awaiting Gov. Greg Abbott's signature, could change food and drink packaging as we know it nationwide. Texas Senate Bill 25 passed unanimously in the state senate before being forwarded to Abbott's desk on June 1, where it is under review. Among provisions for education on nutrition and health, one set of proposed regulations would require that packaging for food or drink items contain warnings about ingredients "not recommended for human consumption." The commonly used ingredients listed in the bill are legal to use in the U.S., but most are subject to some sort of ban or more stringent regulation in other countries State lawmaker Rep. Lacey Hull told Bloomberg that Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called her to voice his support for the bill, which aligns with initiatives in his "Make America Healthy Again" movement. HHS press secretary Emily G. Hilliard told USA TODAY in an email that, "Secretary Kennedy encourages states to promote healthy practices and enhance consumer transparency in food labeling. Americans deserve to know what's in their food so they can make informed choices for themselves and their families." While the bill managed to reach across a contentious political aisle, it is not universally popular. John Hewitt, Senior Vice President of State Affairs for the Consumer Brands Association, urged the governor not to sign it in a statement shared with USA TODAY, saying, "The ingredients used in the U.S. food supply are safe and have been rigorously studied following an objective science and risk-based evaluation process. The labeling requirements of SB 25 mandate inaccurate warning language, create legal risks for brands and drive consumer confusion and higher costs." Gov. Abbott has yet to indicate if he plans to sign the bill into law. In a statement to USA TODAY on Tuesday, June 3, press secretary Andrew Mahaleris said, 'Governor Abbott will continue to work with the legislature to ensure Texans have access to healthy foods to care for themselves and their families and will thoughtfully review any legislation they send to his desk.' What's in Texas Senate Bill 25 about food labels? Texas Senate Bill 25 would require that specific warning labels be placed on products intended for human consumption if they use certain ingredients like bleached flour, food dyes, sweeteners, oils and preservatives. Because manufacturers generally aim for uniformity and efficiency, as reported by Bloomberg, they will often expand practices employed to comply with state laws nationwide, meaning this change could impact the packaged food industry on a larger scale. The bill would require that manufacturers display the warning label prominently if their product contains one of 44 listed ingredients, most of which have some form of ban, warning or regulation in other Western countries despite being legal in the U.S. The proposed label reads as follows: "WARNING: This product contains an ingredient that is not recommended for human consumption by the appropriate authority in Australia, Canada, the European Union, or the United Kingdom." Manufacturers, and in some cases retailers, would also be required to post a similar statement on websites on which applicable products are offered for sale. This requirement would not apply to products not intended for human consumption; food prepared, served, or sold in restaurants or retail locations; drugs or dietary supplements; or agricultural products on which pesticides or other such chemicals were used in their production, storage or transportation. Regulations set by federal agencies like the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or Surgeon General would supersede these state-level rules, meaning products already overseen or required to utilize certain labels by these agencies would not need an additional warning. The FDA deeming ingredients safe or setting new guidelines for their use would also exempt them from labeling. Which ingredients are listed in the bill? acetylated esters of mono- and diglycerides (acetic acid ester) anisole azodicarbonamide (ADA) butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) bleached flour blue 1 (CAS 3844-45-9) blue 2 (CAS 860-22-0) bromated flour calcium bromate canthaxanthin certified food colors by the United States Food and Drug Administration citrus red 2 (CAS 6358-53-8) diacetyl diacetyl tartaric and fatty acid esters of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM) dimethylamylamine (DMAA) dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DSS) ficin green 3 (CAS 2353-45-9) interesterified palm oil interesterified soybean oil lactylated fatty acid esters of glycerol and propylene glycol lye morpholine olestra partially hydrogenated oil (PHO) potassium aluminum sulfate potassium bromate potassium iodate propylene oxide propylparaben red 3 (CAS 16423-68-0) red 4 (CAS 4548-53-2) red 40 (CAS 25956-17-6) sodium aluminum sulfate sodium lauryl sulfate sodium stearyl fumarate stearyl tartrate synthetic trans fatty acid thiodipropionic acid titanium dioxide toluene yellow 5 (CAS 1934-21-0) yellow 6 (CAS 2783-94-0) Which foods could be impacted? Packaged and processed foods of all kinds could be impacted by the bill. If it passes, consumers will begin seeing the warning on labels developed and copyrighted beginning in 2027. Chips, candy and snack products like Doritos, Ruffles, Lay's flavored chips, microwaved popcorn, M&Ms, Sour Patch Kids and Skittles would need to be labeled, along with cereals like Froot Loops and Cap'n Crunch. Sweets like Twinkies or Hostess snack cakes and packaged cookies like Oreos and Chips Ahoy! contain the offending ingredients, along with frozen dinners, instant noodles, some breads and even processed meats like sausages and hot dogs. Drinks like Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Capri Sun, Hawaiian Punch and Juicy Juice would also be affected. RFK Jr.'s push for ingredient reviews, tighter regulations In April, the FDA and RFK announced plans to "phase out" petroleum-based synthetic dyes previously allowed under FDA regulations from the U.S. food and drug supply by the end of 2026. No formal agreement or legislation was passed officially banning the substances. Instead, HHS and the FDA have a "mutual understanding" with the food industry that the dyes will be progressively removed, according to Kennedy. Are food dyes getting banned in the US?: What know to about 8 dyes being phased out During an April 22 press conference, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said the agency intended to revoke the approval of some dyes and work with industry leaders to substitute petrochemical dyes with "natural" ones. A press statement released by the FDA also said it plans to establish a "national standard and timeline for the transition from petrochemical-based dyes to natural alternatives." The FDA will authorize four new natural color additives and expedite the approval of more, according to its statement. The agency will also partner with the National Institutes of Health to research the effect food additives have on children's health and development.

Donald and Melania Trump to attend Kennedy Center's opening night of Les Misérables
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are set to attend the opening-night showing of the musical Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center next week, making a rare public appearance in Washington's nightlife by visiting the cultural institution Trump controversially took over. The White House confirmed the first couple's attendance to USA TODAY. But they won't be seeing all of the musical's cast members, some of whom plan to sit out of the show that night, CNN and the Washington Post reported. Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance will also attend the same showing of Les Misérables, Fox News reported. The musical debuts at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on June 11 and runs through July 13. "I love the songs, I love the play," Trump told Fox News on June 3 after The Atlantic first reported on the plans to attend Les Misérables. "I think it's great ‒ we may extend it." Les Misérables, set in early 19th-century France, tells the story of French peasant Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who struggles to find redemption after 19 years in prison. Trump is known to have "Do you hear the people sing? ‒ one of the musical's most famous songs about everyday people rising up against injustices ‒ playing as he enters for campaign rallies. For JD Vance, his attendance at the Kennedy Center comes after he was loudly booed and jeered while attending a National Symphony Orchestra performance at the center in March. Just weeks into his second White House term, Trump ousted the Kennedy Center's leadership in February and named himself board chairman after complaining about "woke" programming and "drag shows" at the center. He named top ally Ric Grenell, his envoy for special missions, as the Kennedy Center's new president. But Trump's takeover has sparked a significant backlash. Acts such as actress Issa Rae and the Broadway hit "Hamilton" canceled previously scheduled Kennedy Center performances in response to Trump's takeover. And the center has experienced a nosedive in yearly subscriptions. The Washington Post reported sales of subscriptions for the next season of programming at the Kenny Center have plummeted by 36%, down about $1.6 million in revenue from subscription sales to theater, dance, classical and other seasons of performance from the same point in 2014.
