最近谍照记者在北欧拍到了一队吉普Junior原型车。这些车都进行了重度伪装,但从整体造型看,有点像吉普爱国者。虽然无法看清造型风格细节,但可以看到它采用了方正的轮拱和独特前大灯。该车还配备了日间行驶灯和方正的尾灯组。由于车门打开,谍照记者还抓拍到了内装照片。不过,遗憾的是,除了看到圆形控制键,镀铬装饰和信息娱乐系统外,没能拍到更多细节。这款入门级跨界车预计将采用延伸后的菲亚特500L平台并将搭载多个菲亚特提供的引擎。虽然车厂并未正式公布,但预计包括0.9升TwinAir Turbo,功率74千瓦/109马力,1.4升MultiAir Turbo,功率119千瓦/160马力,1.6升MultiJet II涡轮柴油引擎,功率74千瓦/105马力。吉普Junior最早将在下月初发布,可能会被命名为Laredo。
2015 Jeep Junior spied inside & out
A convoy of Jeep Junior prototypes have been spied in Northern Europe.
The models were heavily camouflaged but they appear to have a shape that mimics the Patriot. Styling details are hard to make out but we can see squared off fenders and distinctive headlights. The model has also been equipped with daytime running lights and square taillights.
Our spies were also able to snap an interior photo thanks to an open door. Unfortunately, there isn't much to see besides circular control knobs, chrome accents and a infotainment system.
The entry-level crossover is expected to ride on an extended version of the Fiat 500L platform and be offered with a variety of Fiat-sourced engines. Nothing is official but possible candidates include a 0.9-liter TwinAir Turbo with 105 HP (74 kW), a 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo with 160 HP (119 kW) and a 1.6-liter MultiJet II turbodiesel with 105 HP (74 kW).
The Jeep Junior could be unveiled as early as next month and adopt the Laredo moniker.
