It has been just over two years since the last Jeep Cherokee rolled off the assembly line in Toledo, Ohio, after a 49-year run stretching five generations of SUVs. But the famous name, which helped popularize SUVs as family vehicles in the 1980s and 1990s, will make a comeback this fall. The 2026 Jeep Cherokee, unveiled today, will be new from the ground up, comes wrapped in an angular new shape with clear links to the upmarket Grand Cherokee and will offer hybrid power from the start.

Well, consider me a believer. In the span of a decade, Genesis has blossomed from an offshoot into a major player in the luxury car segment.

CreditZach Doell | U.S. News & World ReportFirst Impressions: 2025 Volkswagen GTI and Golf RSUMMIT POINT, West Virginia — It's amazing what 40 years and eight generations of vehicle development can do.
