After launching its first, Wrangler-based pickup
truck, Jeep is entering a brand new segment with the all-new 2019 Sedan, which
can be found now in dealerships across the nation, in order to rival the
traditional German rivals in the premium saloon segment.
If you smell a rat here, you’re absolutely
right.Jeep Middle East’s April Fools joke appeared on their official Facebook
page, posting a picture of what looks like a Chrysler 300 wearing the front end
of a Jeep Cherokee. It doesn’t look as bad as it sounds, though. The pronounced shoulder
lines and fender flares of the Chrysler 300 have blended in nicely with the
headlights and grille of the Cherokee – but that’s about it.
The brand is currently in the middle of launching
the new Gladiator midsize truck, set to arrive in dealers this summer, while
it’s also working on a brand new three-row full-size SUV that will reportedly
revive the Wagoneer nameplate.
Electrification also plays a major part in Jeep’s
plans, with the plug-in hybrid versions of the Renegade and Compass models
going on sale next year, while another model that is expected to get an
electrified powertrain in 2020 is the Wrangler.
