Power Shift: Moving Toward a Fuel-Free Future

---

Jeep has committed to transitioning its entire lineup to electric power. With sustainability in mind, the brand is electrifying many of its most popular models – like the Cherokee, Wrangler, and Wagoneer. 

The 2026 Cherokee lineup will offer hybrid power, reducing emissions without losing an ounce of capability and adventurous attitude. Plus, the 2026 Grand Cherokee may be up for a makeover – so stay tuned!

Performance and Capability: Efficiency Meets Adventure

Amidst its shift to electric power, Jeep’s legacy endures. Never straying from its passionate pursuit of exploration, the brand continues to prioritize rugged performance – both on and off the road.

Parent company Stellantis has carefully crafted a series of new platforms to accommodate Jeep’s new direction, with the new Jeep Cherokee hybrid utilizing the STLA Large platform. A more fuel efficient four-cylinder engine with an electric boost pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission to surge ahead of the competition. Rubicon and Trailhawk off-road trims round out the lineup, with the possibility of an all-electric Jeep Cherokee EV sometime down the road.

Enhanced Design: How the 2026 Cherokee Will Evolve

The new Jeep Cherokee is slated to be sportier than ever before, with a larger body and imposing stance. While details are sparse, the rumor is that the Cherokee will closely resemble the Wagoneer S. Redesigned bumpers, grille sensors and cameras, and a boxier silhouette are expected. Inside the roomy cabin, we suspect dashboard adjustments to modernize your drive, including bigger touchscreens and an updated digital gauge cluster.
