one of the most interesting introductions here at the New York Auto Show is this guy the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee replaces the Liberty in their line but you aren't even looking at me you're looking at this that's what's so notable about it a very different Jeep face kind of a pointy looking thing with just the slightest hint of the traditional sort of Jeep vertical slats but none of the squared off square jaw look and these headlights are of course a major design feature that will catch your eye immediately once you get around the side of this guy I get a big blast of Mazda cx-9 everywhere else except for the squared off wheel arches the platform underneath is shared with the Dodge Dart which is derived from an Alfa Romeo so so much for your American classic under the hood the engines will include a 2.4 liter 4 or an all-new 3.2 liter Pentastar those still without direct injection only one choice on the transmission a rather exotic 9 speed automatic power retractable sunroof on this model but notice the sort of ragtop treatment on top almost cribbed from a Fiat 500 and these running lights atop the fenders are a very bold complement to that very different grille the headlights are almost not noticeable down in the chin below inside you can option this guy up with the 8.4 inch UConnect head unit that now also supports pandora integrated and finally if you want to make this guy particularly urban you can option it up with active lane departure tech where the electronic steering rack look steer you in that of trouble and it's also got the ability to do forward collision avoidance to the point that it can bring itself to a complete stop so plenty of technology in this guy urban styling and we're gonna see how it does with a very different look
