Jeep lineup in the next few years

[haven]

Automobile Magazine got Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne to open the corporate kimono a bit regarding future products. Here's what Marchionne said about Jeep.

2013
new Liberty, based on same platform as Dodge Dart. AWD, turbo 4 and 3.2L V6 engines. 9 speed auto transmission possible.

2014
Grand Wagoneer, stretched version of today's Grand Cherokee, 3 row seating
new Jeepster, based on Fiat 500X, built in Italy, I-4 (turbo 4 likely)
new Patriot, larger than Jeepster, smaller than Liberty, AWD, turbo 4
Compass discontinued

Here's what the Fiat 500X is expected to look like. It's considerably larger than the current 500, about the size of the MINI Countryman. (pay no attention to the big wheels and road race tires) This is one of several crossover style vehicles that will appear in Europe in the next couple of years, all inspired by the success of the Range Rover Evoque.

2015 or 2016
new Wrangler
(This is when I expect Jeep to introduce a pickup version, and possibly a diesel powered version of the Wrangler)

2016
new Grand Cherokee, may be AWD with no two speed transfer case
Dodge Durango discontinued

Fiat go away!

And the only part of that list I look forward to is the demise of the Compassssss! Feep, YOU SUCK!

Yep, I'll keep my CJ, thank you!

One man gathers what another man spills...

I like the 500X.

Yup. The Grand Cherokee is getting the diesel for 2014 (being released early '13). So I'm expecting the Wrangler to follow again like they did with the Pentastar.

I like the 500X as well. The MINI Countryman is much too expensive. The Jeep version will have at least a few different styling cues, so it will look a little different from the rendering above.

Should be interesting to see what they come up with. Hopefully they make at least one of them small and capable (more than just AWD an snow car)!

The 500x could be interesting. As for a diesel Wrangler... we can only (continue to) hope.

My understanding is the GC is getting the 3.0 Diesel for the 2013 model year, which means it will be on the showroom floor sometime around Aug/Sept.Oct. 2012.

Not according to one of, if not, the most reliable sources in the Jeep forums community. 2013 will be a shortened year and will have minor changes and will actually end January 2013. That's when 2014's come out with the diesel option.

Dollar, can you link your source for that info please?

They stopped making Jeeps in 2006.

Chrysler and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne told Automotive News that there will be a diesel option for the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Google "Marchionne 2013 diesel" and you'll find a lot of hits.

I will believe it when i see it. Theyve been baiting us with the wrangler truck for what, 6 yrs now? I would like to get excited about the Wagoneer, but Ive got a feeling that it will be a Durango with Jeep badging. I guess time will tell
