During Stellantis' presentation of its new global plan, a slide covering upcoming Jeep models showed just one new vehicle: the Wrangler Scrambler, a smaller pickup positioned below the Gladiator. However, this was only a small preview of what Jeep has planned between now and 2030. In a separate online briefing, the brand's leadership hinted at three new models destined for Europe.
The upcoming Recon, an electric off-roader revealed some time ago, is expected to arrive in early 2027 and will effectively replace the Wrangler, which is set to exit the European market by the end of 2026. Jeep says the Wrangler's distinctive shape limits flexibility in meeting crash-test requirements, making it difficult to bring it back to Europe under current safety and emissions regulations.

With the Avenger measuring 161.4 inches in length, these new models are expected to be slightly larger, around 165.4 inches. Internally, Jeep refers to them simply as a "B-SUV Compact" and "B-SUV Large." The two SUVs are expected to differ in both styling and positioning, and may possibly see the return of the Renegade nameplate, which was discontinued at the end of 2025.
Both models will be underpinned by Stellantis' new STLA platform architecture, designed for multi-energy use, supporting internal combustion engines, full hybrids, and fully electric powertrains, including Stellantis' new hybrid system likely based around a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine. The third new Jeep will be a mid-size (D-segment) SUV developed in collaboration with Dongfeng, which will be manufactured in China. Despite the shared platform, Jeep has emphasized that this will be a true Jeep product, with in-house design and engineering.
