A POPULAR car brand has announced the relaunch of one of their classic off-roaders, that is set to make its comeback in 2026.
The American manufacturer is bringing the Cherokee out of retirement, with an all new model of the beloved motor.

Jeep discontinued the car in February 2023 after a solid 10 year production run in the US.
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.
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.”
