Jeep Previews its First All-Electric SUV, Coming Next Year

A few weeks ago, the Stellantis Group, which includes the Jeep brand, unveiled its overall electrification plan for the next decade, and said to expect individual announcements from its brands. Here’s one.  

Jeep has previewed with a couple of images what will be its first all-electric model. Encouragingly, the two images of the vehicle reveal not an early concept but a model that looks very close to production-ready.

To wit, Jeep confirmed that we should expect this model in early 2023.

One thing it still lacks, however, is a name. The format of the SUV appears to be that of a compact model, something along the lines of the Compass. Of course, it's hard to judge from an image, with no human in it for scale. We'll see when it's officially presented.
