- Besides a new Cherokee and Renegade, Jeep is working on a redesigned Compass.
- The models will be joined by facelifted versions of the Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer / Grand Wagoneer.
- Jeep is also embracing electrification and will offer a total of six EVs by the end of 2027.
Jeep recently announced plans for a new Cherokee and Renegade, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg as we can expect several other redesigned and facelifted vehicles. Among them is an all-new Compass, which will arrive by the end of 2027.
The company didn’t say much about it at their recent investor’s day event, but the Compass will be joined by updated versions of the Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer / Grand Wagoneer. The Gladiator and Wrangler were also mentioned, but the company is referring to their recent refresh and not a future one.

Little is known about the future models, but Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa recently confirmed plans for a Wagoneer / Grand Wagoneer 4xe. It will borrow heavily from the Ram 1500 Ramcharger, which is a range-extended pickup that has a 92 kWh battery as well as a dual-motor all-wheel drive system producing 663 hp (494 kW / 672 PS) and 615 lb-ft (833 Nm) of torque.
This enables the truck to accelerate from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in approximately 4.4 seconds. However, it’s more notable for having a 3.6-liter V6 engine that acts as a generator and enables the model to have a range of up to 690 miles (1,110 km).
As for the Grand Cherokee, rumors have suggested the facelifted SUV will drop the 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engines. They’re expected to be replaced by a new turbocharged powertrain.
Speaking of future models, Jeep revealed they’ll have 13 nameplates globally by the end of 2027. That’s up from ten and includes new models such as the Recon and Wagoneer S.
More interestingly, Jeep confirmed plans to embrace electrification while staying committed to the internal combustion engine. All ten nameplates will remain ICE-powered, while there will be two new hybrids, one new plug-in hybrid, a range-extended vehicle, and five new EVs.
The new models and powertrains are expected to make Jeep far more appealing. Furthermore, the company expects to increase market coverage from 45% to 85%.
This could help to reverse disappointing sales figures as the off-road brand wants to sell more than 1 million units in the United States by the end of 2027. That would be a dramatic increase from the 641,166 vehicles sold last year.
As you’re likely aware, Jeep sales have plummeted in recent years due to a series of major missteps. The numbers are truly telling as the brand sold 973,227 vehicles as recently as 2018. However, Stellantis is acknowledging they’ve shot themselves in the foot by dramatically increasing prices. To address this, the company is adjusting pricing and incentives as well as attempting to better match supply with demand.
