Segment
Small SUV
Jeep's small SUV — built in Italy by Fiat at the Melfi plant on the Small Wide platform shared with the Fiat 500X. Launched 2014. 1.0 / 1.4 / 1.6 / 2.0 turbo petrols, 1.6 / 2.0 MultiJet diesels, then a 4xe plug-in hybrid from 2020 (190 / 240 bhp 1.3 turbo + electric motor on rear axle). Trailhawk trim was the legitimate off-road version with low-range gearing and aggressive approach angles. Discontinued in the UK 2024. Used cars: 4xe is the value PHEV pick — depreciation has been brutal.
