Re: Jeep B-Segment Compact SUV: Here are more details

Jeep's ultra-compact SUV, which will position itself below the Renegade, will not arrive before the end of 2022, for a market launch that will take place during 2023.

Jeep B-Segment Compact SUV: Here are more details-jeepbabysuvrender1024x640.jpg

Quote:
Beyond the aesthetic appearance, which remains for the moment shrouded in mystery, the new Jeep baby SUV will represent an important stage in the technical and technological integration between the former FCA and PSA, the two manufacturers that merged to create Stellantis. In fact, the new Jeep model, which will be built at the Polish plant in Tychy, is the main suspect for being the first model of a former FCA brand to exploit a former PSA platform,namely the CMP architecture

Is Stellantis planning to launch it in India when they are focussing on C3 as their mainstream product?

Expect Jeep Avenger inspired design on this upcoming compact SUV. Speculations might suggest a length under 4.3m, similar to Skoda Kushaq and VW Taigun.

To be priced around Rs. 15 lakh to Rs. 18 lakh
Will sit below Compass
Quote:
Powertrain-wise, the Jeep’s SUV will likely make use of Citroen’s 1.2-litre turbo-petrol motor mated to a six-speed manual and an automatic gearbox. This C3 Aircross’s engine is tuned to generate a power output of up to 109bhp and 205Nm of peak torque.

I don't have a good feeling about this. They'll end up diluting the Jeep brand with this product. Till now, Citroen has just launched cheapened out products other than the C5 Aircross. Not sure if just adding a Jeep brand and some features will attract people in the long term. Indian consumer is a highly informed buyer, they will see through this and it might result in 1 more flop!

They should have rather used Jeep Compass as the base platform and launch a Citroen product based on that - with a proper QC and saner pricing!

Creta and Seltos needs a solid competitor, and this can bring something strong to challenge them, provided it has the pedigree of Jeep, and should stay far away from Stellantis way of doing things. And hopefully, this will be exciting.

It could go either way. The C3’s platform is a modified version of the same CMP platform that underpins the Avenger and Peugeot 208. We’ll have to wait and watch to see which side the rumoured Jeep leans towards.

This article from Argentina explains the similarities and differences between the CMP platform for the C-cubed project and other products.
