4 New Jeep Concepts Introduced at Beijing Motor Show

China has turned into a major market for Jeep. It is for this reason that Jeep has introduced four new concepts at the 2014 Beijing International Motor Show. The Jeeps are an infusion of modern day style with inspiration of millennia of Chinese culture. Their names are the Jeep Sageland, Urbane, Sundancer and Zi You Xia.

Jeep Zi You Xia Design Concept:

The Zi You Xia is based on the recently debuted Jeep Renegade. Zi You Xia translates to “rebel.” The color of the concept Jeep is inspired by the colors of the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. The scheme is Warm Chocolate Gray with Dark Anodized Bronze for contrast on various exterior parts of the Jeep such as the grille and the bezels.

The Zi You Xia also comes with the world’s first nine-speed automatic transmission and has been designed to appeal to a global market. For that reason, the Jeep comes with up to 16 powertrain combinations.

Jeep Cherokee Sageland & Urbane Design Concepts:

Both are based on the all-new and popular Jeep Cherokee. The Cherokee has already been released in the Chinese market and will now be offering its customers the chance for something extra and new.

The Sageland is inspired by the Shangri-La Region and its historical landmarks and natural scenerise. A Ivory tri-coat Pearl with bronze grille collars coat the exterior while netural grey leather seats and red and blue accent stitches fill the insides. The stitching on the seats is inspired by traditional Chinese knot design and the pattern on the doors draws its inspiration from Chinese ornamental door knobx.

In contrast, the Urbane is made with an appeal to nightlife. The exterior color is in Maximum Steel along with Hyper Black accents. The interior is based on Chinese calligraphy with bold brush stroke patterns set against dark red Nappa leather seats. Even the floor mats are stylized with a unique decorative pattern based on traditional Chinese windows.

Jeep Wrangler Sundancer Design Concept:

The really awesome name comes from the combination of the Chocolate Brown metallic color with gold accents. Even the windows get extra flair in this concept with bronze tinted glass. To really impress onlookers, the Sundancer comes equipped with 20-inch pale gold billet aluminum wheels with polished gold inserts.

The Sundancer is modeled on the Wrangler Rubicon. It comes with the choice of either the 3.6L V-6 Pentastar petrol engine or 3.0L V-6 Pentastar petrol engine.

2016 Jeep Wrangler Jeep Variant?

UntitledWhat lies in store for the popular Jeep Wrangler?  The time has come for an update to the model and the question is what Jeep has in store for an evolution.

The new Jeep is planned to come out in 2016.  Bloomberg is reporting that Mike Manley, the Jeep President, had some remarks on just what that might mean for the Wrangler at the Geneva auto show.

“I’m a big fan of a Wrangler-based pickup,” Manley said.  Does that mean that Jeep Wrangler will be getting a truck variant when it is released?  There’s a good reason to think just that.  Jeep has big plans to help the globalization of the brand.  With new models being developed for Europe, a focus on the international market is what Fiat is planning on to help their sales.  Having a truck variant in that planning will give the brand the diversity it needs to succeed.

The future is bright for Jeep as Chrysler continues a trend of looking ahead.  Is the world ready for a Jeep Wrangler truck version?
