To be built on the Groupe PSA's CMP (Common Modular Platform), this SUV is expected to feature the same Jeep signature grille upfront while we may also see LED headlamps, LED DRLs, LED taillights, prominent body cladding and a rugged stance. The same platform underpins the new Citroen C3 hatch and will use over ninety per cent locally sourced components to keep costs in check. The design however is still under the wraps and it will be interesting to see how good will this SUV look when compared to its rivals.

While we still are awaiting more details, we do expect the brand to offer a 1.2-L turbocharged petrol engine that may deliver close to 100bhp. The brand is expected to offer a manual as well as an automatic gearbox with this engine. The new Jeep sub-4m SUV is also expected to be the first car in the segment to feature an AWD system. A diesel engine may also be on offer as many of the rivals like the Venue and the Sonet offer powerful and refined engine options.
On the features front, this SUV is expected to be offered with a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, wireless charging, push-button start, rear AC vents, while other safety features like front airbags, ABS, EBD, seat belt reminders, rear parking sensors, speed alerts and ISOFIX mounts are expected to be a standard part of the package. The car is expected to be launched somewhere in 2022 and will rival the cars like the Hyundai venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, Tata Nexon, Nissan Kia and the Renault Kiger. The price of this SUV is expected to start from INR 10 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant.
