Jeep has rolled the hits out of their factories and onto show floors.  The Cherokee has been a major success for the company and the Renegade is poised to make a major impact with the newer generation of Jeep buyers.  What is next?

Automobile Mag spoke with Jeep President and CEO Mike Manley to ask that very question.  The response is that something new may already be in the works for the next major Jeep.

“It’s literally halfway between the two,” Manley said referring to the Cherokee and Renegade.  “It’s well-positioned from a size point of view between the two vehicles.”

Jeep needs new vehicles to fill in slots that will soon be empty when they follow the five-year plan.  According to it, the Patriot and Compass will be put away for a while and something else will be taking their places.

As far as the styling goes, Manley was coy on what the look would be.  Would it follow the newer stylized look present in the Cherokee and Renegade or would it be a call back to the boxy look of traditional Jeeps?  Who knows, Manley is certainly not dropping any hints.  For those longing for a classical look, I think you may be waiting, but it could be the case that the half-way point between the Cherokee and Renegade is an older look.
