Jeep unveils new hybrid Cherokee SUV, set to be released in 2025
Jeep has revealed the first details and image of its new Cherokee SUV, set to launch later this year as part of efforts to reverse declining sales. The new midsize SUV from the Stellantis-owned brand will include a hybrid powertrain option, though the company has yet to clarify whether this will be a traditional hybrid or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Jeep currently offers PHEV models in its SUV range. Bob Broderdorf, Jeep's CEO, said in a statement: "The all-new Jeep Cherokee headlines our efforts to deliver more product, innovation, choice and standard content to customers than ever before. Jeep Cherokee will boast competitive pricing that strikes at the core of the largest vehicle segment and sits perfectly between Jeep Compass and Jeep Grand Cherokee to bolster our winning mainstream lineup." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jeep (@jeep) Affordability has posed a challenge for Jeep amid rising prices. The entry-level 2022 Cherokee model started at approximately $30,000, close to the current Jeep Compass price of around $27,000. The 2025 Grand Cherokee begins at roughly $36,500. Jeep has yet to disclose further details about the vehicle, including where it will be manufactured. Industry analysts and union officials anticipate production will take place at a plant in Mexico—a decision made before the election of President Donald Trump and the implementation of 25% tariffs on imported vehicles to the US. The previous generation Cherokee was produced at a facility in Illinois, which has been idled since early 2023 following discontinuation amid cost-cutting and production realignment. The cancellation of the Cherokee and the smaller Renegade SUV after the 2023 model year contributed to Jeep's ongoing sales decline. Jeep has faced six consecutive years of falling US sales, reporting a 10% decline in the first quarter of 2025. The Cherokee's launch is expected to be a key focus for incoming Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, who previously led Jeep's turnaround efforts before his promotion to oversee the company's Americas region.

Jeep Cherokee comeback confirmed, Australia to miss out
The Jeep Cherokee will return to US showrooms – but not Australian ones – after the brand confirmed production of a new generation will begin in late 2025. Jeep also confirmed the five-seat Cherokee SUV – a rival to the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportage – will be offered with a hybrid powertrain for the first time. In a statement, Jeep said it will begin manufacturing the new Cherokee – one of its oldest nameplates – in late 2025 but didn't share any further details on the vehicle, such as specification or pricing. It did, however, release a couple of images and a short video showing the Cherokee is returning to a boxier silhouette – if one not quite as upright as the iconic XJ series that Jeep built from 1983 to 2001. "This is a historic year for the Jeep brand, with more product, innovation, choice and standard content for customers than ever before," said Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf.

"The all-new Jeep Cherokee will boast competitive pricing that strikes at the core of the largest vehicle segment and sits perfectly between Jeep Compass and Jeep Grand Cherokee to bolster our winning mainstream lineup." Jeep Australia told CarExpert the new Cherokee isn't planned for Australian showrooms, after the local arm of Stellantis – owner of the Jeep brand – also ruled out the return of the larger Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee was axed in March 2025 after a significant sales slump. It means Jeep will continue to lack a product in Australia's largest sales segment: the mid-size SUV segment. This accounted for almost a quarter of new car sales last year, with 287,637 of the total 1,237,287 total new vehicles sold. Instead, the Jeep Compass (below) – due in Australia in 2026 with electric and hybrid powertrain choices – will take up the role previously played by Cherokee in the local lineup. The previous generation KL Jeep Cherokee was sold in Australia between 2014 and 2022 with four- and six-cylinder petrol engines, before production ended globally in February 2023. With styling paying homage to the XJ Cherokee – sold in Australia between 1996 and 2001 – the new generation is expected to use the STLA Large modular platform. The STLA platform is designed for electrification and underpins the Jeep Wagoneer S and Recon electric SUVs both due in Australia in 2026. It means the Cherokee is set to be larger than before, with the platform enabling a length of up to 5126mm. For context, the KL Cherokee measured 4651mm long. It will likely be shorter, however, than the 4915mm-long two-row Grand Cherokee axed from the Australian lineup in March 2025. Jeep sales fell 9 per cent in the US in 2024 – and a staggering 48.7 per cent in Australia – while parent company Stellantis suffered a 15 per cent global sales decline and massive 70 per cent fall in profits year-on-year. The automaker is also working on a new electric Renegade – a small SUV last sold in Australia in 2020 – due in US showrooms in 2027. The current Renegade is Jeep's entry-level SUV in the US, where the pint-sized Jeep Avenger already in Europe and Australian showrooms isn't currently offered. The Avenger is offered here only with electric power, but mild-hybrid power is expected to be introduced Down Under.

Jeep reveals new Cherokee SUV, confirms hybrid model
DETROIT — Jeep on Thursday revealed the first details and image of its new Cherokee SUV, which the company expects to assist in the brand's turnaround when it arrives later this year. The Stellantis brand said the new midsize SUV will feature a hybrid powertrain option but declined to specify if it would be a traditional hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), which the company currently offers on several SUVs. 'The all-new Jeep Cherokee headlines our efforts to deliver more product, innovation, choice and standard content to customers than ever before,' Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf said in a statement. 'Jeep Cherokee will boast competitive pricing that strikes at the core of the largest vehicle segment and sits perfectly between Jeep Compass and Jeep Grand Cherokee to bolster our winning mainstream lineup.' Affordability has been a problem for Jeep sales amid price increases in recent years. An entry-level model of the Cherokee started around $30,000 for the 2022 model year, according to That is close to the current Jeep Compass at about $27,000. The 2025 Grand Cherokee starts at roughly $36,500. The company declined to release other details of the vehicle, including its production location. Analysts and union officials have said the new SUV is expected to be produced at a plant in Mexico — a decision that was made prior to President Donald Trump 's election and ongoing automotive tariffs of 25% on imported vehicles into the U.S. The last generation of the Cherokee was produced at a plant in Illinois, which has been idled since the vehicles was discontinued in early 2023 amid cost-cutting efforts and production realignments. The cancellation of the Cherokee and a smaller SUV called the Renegade after the 2023 model-year contributed to ongoing sales declines for the brand. Jeep, a coveted brand in the automotive industry, has reported six consecutive years of U.S. annual sales declines, with a 10% decline through the first quarter of this year. The SUV brand is expected to be a priority for , who was leading Jeep's turnaround before being promoted last year to lead the company's Americas region.
