After I saw the new 300 I thought that new dude in charge at Fiat would be good for Jeep. After seeing the new Quattroporte, I was disappointed, but this is as bad as it gets design wise. This is a disgrace to our country, so un-American, even Asian looking.:)
Agreed, It looks like macho, steroid Nissan Juke. But the Nissan Juke looks unique and special in it's own way. This isn't, American, is best to stick to contemporary design.
Wow, a lot of hate out there for this thing, and honestly I don't think it's that bad. Not great, but what do you expect form Jeep? have you seen the outgoing Compass, or Liberty? How about the Patriot? If i was an American I would take offence to such titles being applied to those designed-by-committee atrocities. This is at least not any worse. The biggest concern for me would be what appears to be a worryingly large panel gap between the hood and the front wing.
Bit of a departure, trying to borrow some Volvo SUV cues and perhaps taking them too far, though decent photos will look better. You shocked Americans will change your tune real quick though, and buy in droves. Wait and see.
With the exception of a few auto makers, it seems to me that too often when redesigning a vehicle, especially trucks/suv's, manufacturers think it best to increase the overall size and shape of the headlights. It was a growing trend there for a while and in many cases still is (see Chevy SS). The 14' Cherokee is not a bad design from what I can tell. However, I think some bias may exist because it doesn't conform to the same design language other domestic trucks adhere to. Give it time. I'll wait until the fully loaded version arrives, instead of just the base level trim, to make a final judgment, but so far, I sort of like it.
For people we kow about Chrysler and Jeep company and how old they are , this is embarrassing in 2013 that theirs designer create something so bad and lack of inspiration , this is disgusting and real embarrassing that Jeep show to the street this monster. Embarrassing. If Chrysler or Jeep doesn't have a great designer just do what Kia and Hunday does , copy and paste from BMW and Mercedes even Audi and the result is better than this thing .
um, that's kind of what they're doing. Maybe not Mercedes, but certainly BMW (especially in this shot: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/22/2014-jeep-cherokee-uncovered-with-bold-new-look/), there's a lot of similarity toward the rear of the vehicle. and the front end (minus the grille) has a lot of Volvo in it. Too many Jeep purists here who think Jeep needs to keep building vehicles that look like they were designed in the 50s.
