There is no way this is real life. Cherokee people, prepare to riot in the streets.

Optimistically hoping that this is actually the Patriot. Jalopnik isn't exactly known for restraining themselves from jumping to conclusions.

Chrysler released a product plan for the next 5 years just a few weeks ago, I can't find the original image but this was the jist of it for Jeep:

1) B-segment Fiat based Jeep (Compass replacement - nothing on this yet.)
2) C-segment Giulietta/Dart based Jeep - That's what we're looking at here. Makes more sense that it would be the Patriot if the below is true...
3) C/D-segment Jeep - Liberty replacement (would assume that means Cherokee). I would assume that this would be the Cherokee. Supposedly shared platform with new midsize Alfa Giulia/Chrysler 200/Dodge Journey - i.e. larger than what we're seeing here.
4) D-segment Jeep (Grand Cherokee - Current model was just refreshed, so this is a few years out)
5) D-segment 3 row Jeep ("Grand Wagoneer" - new/updated platform to also be used for Dodge Durango)

There's nothing in those pictures that definitively says that it is a Cherokee. Not as if there is even a badge on it. We are expecting a Liberty replacement soon, so I see how it would make sense. But I just think that its too small to be a Liberty replacement. I guess we'll see.

the fact they are bringing the CHEROKEE back, after all these years, and decided to make it a car crossover, makes me want to vomit.

Looks like a fat asian on wheels.

Horrible.

Jussayin...the LIBERTY looks better than that...I'll even go as far to say the 2wd Compass looks more like a Jeep than that.
