A Jeep EV is on the way, and this is what it looks like.
The Jeep brand, a part of Stellantis, is moving forward with electrification plans to stay relevant in the market. We’ve already seen the brand dabble in plug-in hybrids and even electric scooters for whatever reason. But now, it’s becoming clear that the company also wants to start selling an all-electric SUV too. This plan was shared at the beginning of the month at the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 presentation. Two images of an upcoming electric Jeep product were shown:
The design looks like a familiar but clearly modernised step for the Jeep brand. There’s nothing too controversial and all the brand’s familiar design beats are here. Flared arches, the 7-slated front grille, and a rugged design.
Looks like another winner-in-the-making for Jeep and Stellantis in general. We wonder which of their platforms will be underpinning this new product. Expect it to be launched early in 2023.
Here’s the press release with more information.
