Late last year, Jeep announced that it would idle its Belvidere, Ill., factory. That happened at the end of February, bringing Cherokee production to a halt, which has seen its sales dip in recent years. However, according to Jeep, the model is “not canceled.”
A Jeep spokesperson told Motor1.com, “We have plans for that important vehicle in that important segment, which we will reveal in due time.” This echos what Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said earlier in the week when meeting with reporters about announcing plans about the next-generation Cherokee in “due course.”
