Jeep Signals More “Flexible” Designs Ahead

Future Jeep models will reveal a more flexible approach to the brand's exterior styling, says Jeep brand CEO Mike Manley.

Manley tells Autocar upcoming Jeeps will evolve into distinctively different looks across the model lineup. One exception: the Wrangler, whose iconic design won't change. "The Wrangler is non-negotiable," he asserts.

All future Jeeps will be instantly recognizable, but they will evolve. "You'll see how flexible we can be," Manley tells the British enthusiast magazine. He says the big Jeep Grand Wagoneer due in 2018 will rival Range Rover in quality, dimensions and off-road performance.
