1997 - 2001 Jeep Cherokee
Could there be a new compact SUV coming from the recently bought out Chrysler Group? More
2005 Jeep 2500
specifically a 2011 Cherokee (not Grand?)
If you do some snooping around on the internet, you’ll see that the Cherokee wasn’t actually discontinued in 2001. Only in North America.
Up to 2005, it was produced in China, called the Jeep 2500 (because of its 2.5L 4 cylinder engine), and it even had its body style updated.
5 Year Chrysler Platform plan (allpar.com)
Go to allpar.com’s 5 year plan (http://www.allpar.com/corporate/chrysler-group/five-year-plan.html) , and you’ll see that there are two Jeep SUV’s (one is a Grand Cherokee, and one is smaller.) The White colored one looks like the China Jeep 2500.
Could this be the return of the Jeep Cherokee XJ? I sure hope so.

That white XJ looks terrible!
I hope new jeep XJ doesn’t look like as KITSCH as that sustomized chinese XJ.

Well, in my opinion, the North American XJs look way better. I’d rather have it come back where it left off in 2001 without changes.

Hate to burst your bubble, but if you continued reading that was actually the jeep commander.
