How’s its exterior?
The front fascia gets a new illuminated seven-slot grille with LED segments on each slot, giving it a clean look. The bumper at the front is also tweaked; now it comes with more muscular and rugged styling with the larger air dam for cooling. It gets square-shaped LED headlights above which the LED DRLs are placed, which align with grill lighting.
On the sides, its silhouette remains the same as the outgoing model; the main highlight in profile features chunky wheel arch cladding, blacked-out ORVMs (outside rear-view mirrors) and pillars, and roof rails for SUV appeal. Notably, the wheel arches and blacked out elements are slightly tweaked for the sportier look.
At the back, the vehicle gets the Jeep’s signature X-pattern LED taillamps to reflect the brand identity. The tailgate design is also improved to enhance the clean look, and the badging of the Jeep is retained. The rear bumper is also tweaked a little for a more rugged and sculpted look, and the faux skid plate enhances its off-roading appeal.
Interior Expectation

The interior is expected to be equipped with two 10.25-inch touchscreen screens, one at the center of the dashboard as an infotainment system and another under the steering wheel as a driver display for the instrument cluster.
The screens may come with an improved user interface and are likely to have feature additions such as connected car technology, a wireless phone charging pad, and front seats with heating and massage functions being electrically adjustable.
