The latest spy comes courtesy of mister Louis D. Robert, who
spotted a prototype of an SUV in Boston and was quick to nab it with his camera
phone.
Since the test mule is wearing heavy camo, we
can’t tell what model it actually is, but we can make an educated guess. In all
likelihood it is a Jeep and, judging by
the shape of the glasshouse, which for its most part is uncovered, and its
overall design, we would say that it is probably the 2018 Cherokee.
The model is due to
receive a facelift later this year or in early 2018. The most notable changes
should be the redesigned taillights and, most importantly, the new headlights,
which are rumored to change from the current models slim units that are split
in two to larger ones incorporating the DRLs, as seen on other Jeeps. The
trademark grille should also get a makeover to bring the front part in line
with the rest of the range; think something along the lines of the new Compass
and the Grand Cherokee.
We expect changes to the cabin of the Cherokee to
consist mainly of some new materials and switchgear, and maybe a new
infotainment system, connectivity and safety systems and trim levels, but
otherwise it should remain more or less the same.
