最近谍照记者首次拍到了2017款吉普切诺基照片，当时该车正在密歇根州进行测试。虽然车身进行了重度伪装，但仍可看出新车保留了有争议的车头造型。这一点都不奇怪，吉普CEO Mike Manley最近暗示，新车仍将保留这种颇有争议的外观，因为该车整体造型非常好。据说新车将提供一台新的四缸引擎，另外还将增加Trackhawk高性能版本，预计将与道奇Dart SRT共享同一台涡轮引擎。切诺基改款车将于明年二季度发布。

 

2017 Jeep Cherokee facelift spied for the first time

The 2017 Jeep Cherokee has been spied been for the first time.

 

Caught undergoing testing in Michigan, the facelifted model is heavily camouflaged but appears to retain its controversial front end. This isn't too surprising as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently hinted the model would retain its polarizing looks because "the overall styling ... is spot on."

 

Additional styling changes are hard to spot but speculation suggests the crossover could be offered with a new four-cylinder engine. There have also been rumors about a high-performance Trackhawk variant which could presumably use the same turbocharged engine as the upcoming Dodge Dart SRT.

 

The facelifted Jeep Cherokee is scheduled to be introduced in the second quarter of 2016, so expect to learn more in the coming months.
