A classic off-roader is making a comeback after a two year hiatus CAR COMEBACK Major car brand reveals return of iconic model discontinued 2 years ago and says 'it'll deliver more than ever before' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR car brand has announced the relaunch of one of their classic off-roaders, that is set to make its comeback in 2026.

However, the reimagined model will officially debut later this year, before going on sale in 2026. Jeep has already released early images to give buyers an idea of what to expect from the brand's next mid-size off-roader. Jeep CEO, Bob Broderdorf, said: 'The all-new Jeep Cherokee headlines our efforts to deliver more product, innovation, choice, and standard content to customers than ever before.' According to Motor1, the 2026 Cherokee adopts Jeep's latest design language, first seen on the Wagoneer S, and then on the new Compass that debuted in May. The motor pays homage to the brand's classic look, with a seven-slot grille and a body with the familiar, rugged shape. Also, the new model will use Stellantis's STLA Large Transverse architecture, which Motor1 believe could mean it will have a variety of power train options. Popular dealership that sells Dodge and Jeep models abruptly closes for good as owner mourns 'difficult decision' Jeep has already confirmed a hybrid, but pure gas and fully electric power trains seem likely as well. An electric Cherokee would likely have a similar setup to the Wagoneer S, which uses a 100.0Kilowatt-hour battery pack and two electric motors to produce 600 hp and 617 pound-feet of torque. Mr Broderdorf added: '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.'

Could Jeep's rugged EV debut a new off-road-ready transmission?
Stellantis has patented a new three-speed transmission designed to bring its Jeep brand's legendary off-road capability to electric vehicles (EV) without the need for additional motors or equipment. Jeep released its first EV in Australia in 2024 – the urban-friendly Avenger – with the larger Wagoneer S crossover SUV and rugged Recon set for Australia in 2026. It's the latter that appears most likely to receive the new transmission, should it enter production. As reported by Mopar Insiders, Stellantis has been granted a patent for a three-speed transmission bringing low-range, high-range and direct drive gearing to electric powertrains. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. It's designed to replace the single-speed reduction gearboxes found in most EVs in new car showrooms which, in its filing, Stellantis says are "unable to provide sustained high torque for trail and desert driving or various other speeds". With Jeep's 'trail-rated' credentials crucial to its brand image, the new transmission has been designed to offer smarter gearing choices for EVs while hitting the rough stuff, mimicking the low- and high-range gearing found in conventional combustion-powered four-wheel drive off-roaders. The three different gear-sets each look to expand the capability of EVs, most notably tapping into the instant torque characteristic provided by an electric motor – and minimising energy use at other times. The lowest gearing – created to deploy maximum torque – acts like a traditional '4LO' gear and is designed for trail driving, rock crawling and towing. The second gearset is more suited to 'normal' conditions, while the third provides the typical one-to-one ratio and is intended to maximise energy efficiency, battery life and driving range while highway driving. The transmission connects directly to the output shaft of the electric motor and can be used on the front or rear axle, while it can also lock or open a differential for true off-road flexibility. Jeep hasn't made any announcements on which vehicles will use the new transmission, or when we can expect to see it in a production model. The relatively simple, compact design means it could bring benefits beyond Jeep's off-roaders, extending to other Stellantis brands such as Ram trucks. It could also have high performance all-wheel drive applications at Dodge, Chrysler and potentially Alfa Romeo and Maserati – all brands belonging to Stellantis.
