吉普切诺基改款车从内到外都将采用多项新的设计，该车将于今年秋季发布。最显著变化是前脸，新车将采用新的前大灯和类似指南者的新格栅。最近谍照记者拍到了新车照片，虽然车身进行了伪装，但可以看出采用了最终量产版的设计，可以看到细窄的前大灯。新车外观与7月发布的合成图有很多相似之处，新车整体造型更干练。车尾也采用了新的设计，尾灯组更大，造型更具现代感。车牌位置现在位于尾门中央而不是下部。此外还采用了略微改款的散流器。除了外观改变，新车还将搭载新的动力总成，预计将提供取自自由侠的九速自动变速器以及取自牧马人的2.0升四缸涡轮引擎。车厂仍将继续推出高性能的Trackhawk版本，该车还将增加更多新的安全和辅助驾驶系统。新车将在今年的洛杉矶车展发布，随后将于明年初上市。
2018 Jeep Cherokee Spied Showing Its Redesigned Headlights
Jeep’s updated Cherokee will bring with it a number of new design cues, both inside and out, when it debuts this fall. Arguably the most significant of those changes will come in the fascia – the small SUV is expected to ditch its polarizing headlights for a more sedated set, as well as gain a new grille inspired by the current Compass.
Though camouflage has kept us in the dark as to its final design, previous spy photos have teased the proposed new look. These new images, though, show even more of the upcoming Cherokee, suggesting it will indeed do with a new set of headlights. The fitments draw a number of similarities to the rendering that was pieced together back in July, and give the Cherokee a cleaner look overall.
The rear also does with an entirely new design. The standard taillights are being replaced with larger, more modern units, and the license plate now sits in the middle of the tailgate as opposed to underneath it. A lightly revised diffuser finishes off the update..
Among the exterior updates, a range of new powertrain options will also be offered. The Cherokee is expected to gain the nine-speed automatic gearbox from the Renegade, as well as the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the new Wrangler. The performance-oriented Trackhawk version will expectedly to carry over, as will new safety and assistance systems from other models.
The new Cherokee will make its debut later in the year, likely at the Los Angeles Auto Show, before going on sale early in 2018.
