The Jeep evolution is a pretty wild one.
From the modern Jeep Grand Cherokee at the top, representing the evolution of Jeep into a more refined and luxurious SUV, to the Jeep Compass bringing that unmistakable Jeep design into a smaller and more everyday package. Then we get to the Jeep Liberty, a model that helped bridge the gap between Jeep’s rugged past and the more modern SUVs that would follow.
Of course, no Jeep evolution would be complete without the Jeep Wrangler. With its unmistakable seven-slot grille, removable top, and legendary off-road capability, the Wrangler is probably the purest representation of what makes a Jeep a Jeep.
Then we go back to the Jeep Comanche, bringing the pickup truck into the evolution and showing Jeep’s history of building vehicles that were just as comfortable working as they were exploring. And finally, the Jeep Cherokee XJ, one of the most iconic SUVs Jeep has ever produced and a vehicle that helped define the modern SUV as we know it.
Different generations. Different shapes. Different purposes.
But somehow, that seven-slot grille has always found a way to survive.
