Jeep is on a roll – just three weeks after the unveiling of the new Wrangler, the off-road specialist has released first pictures of the facelifted Cherokee, which gains a number of significant updates.
The biggest change is that the controversial styling has given way to a more homogenous look, clearly inspired by the new Compass. Out goes the polarising dual-tier headlights, replaced by larger single-piece units sitting where the LED daytime running lights once were. The front and rear bumpers have also been redesigned for a more modern and sophisticated look, as have the tail lights.
Inside, revisions are limited to a mildly reprofiled centre console, although there are likely also changes to the Uconnect infotainment system. Jeep also mentioned that there will be a range of more fuel-efficient engine options, although it stopped short of detailing the new powertrains.
These will likely mirror the new Wrangler’s, which includes an all-new 270 hp/400 Nm 2.0 litre turbo direct-injected four-cylinder petrol engine with an eTorque mild hybrid system, along with a 260 hp/600 Nm 3.0 litre EcoDiesel V6 and a 285 hp/352 Nm 3.6 litre Pentastar petrol V6 with Engine Stop Start (ESS). A nine-speed automatic gearbox will likely continue to be offered, along with a range of four-wheel drive systems.

Lingkup la Jeep Msia under DRB…
Jeep taboleh jual di SG, pun DRB salah ke? Apa logic ni?
Lingkup na Jeep Msia.
The previous Jeep priced at about RM500k did not sell well. Many Malaysians could not brain the fact a car costing US$30k can come to Malaysia at RM500k.
Hopefully, this new generations of Jeep, the bodoh local distributor will price it reasonable for it to sell.

When the band was re-launched in Malaysia, the USD hovered around 3.2. Almost immediately, the ringgit weakened to 4.1, and the CBU cars lost pricing ground.
abang oh abang 3.2 is about 95,000.
4.1 is about 120,000
Both also, how can jump to RM500k??
Lupa kena tolong orang ba wau dal wau ha…
Tazex? Duties? How would the government feed you with BR1M otherwise?? :)
Jeep Malaysia last update on FB was in june if not mistaken. so not sure if its still around.
The showroom in Glenmarie is now empty. Looks like it has ceased. The cars seem to have been moved to the EON offices further up the road.
I hope they bring the back Jeep Malaysia. All model has been facelifted and installed the latest tech especially for Compass & Wrangler. I know compass looks outdated when it launched in Malaysia 2 years ago and it overpriced. Jeep also already introduced the 2.0L turbocharged and V6 diesel engine. Hope they bring all model with that engine and the excise duty and tax will be less cause smaller engine.
No need to bring here.
2.0 turbo? Very nice. I thought this Najeep got 2.6L N/A only
Is’a 2.0l.
Is this fella sharing the same platform as the X-Trail because it looks so familiar… especially from the back.
