Few vehicles have influenced the modern SUV landscape like the Jeep® Cherokee XJ. Introduced in 1984 as the industry's first true compact SUV, the XJ redefined the formula that was efficient, maneuverable and unmistakably Jeep.

The Jeep XJ Pioneer concept celebrates that breakthrough moment while marking two milestones, 85 years of Jeep heritage and the return of the Cherokee nameplate for 2026. Built from a first-generation 1984 Cherokee donor vehicle, the XJ Pioneer concept honors Jeep as the segment's original trailblazer. It blends authentic history with a thoughtful, enthusiast-driven, resto-mod approach designed to resonate with the millions who lived with and loved the XJ throughout its 17-year production run. The result is a cultural time capsule infused with a bold, unmistakable '80s attitude inside and out.

Mopar designers set out to create a sporty two-seat adventure machine with extreme capability and expanded storage for longer excursions.

Overlanding is all about self-reliant, vehicle-based adventure where the journey matters as much as the destination. The 2026 Jeep® Wrangler ANVIL 715 concept reclaims that spirit with a purpose-built vision of what an overland-focused Wrangler can be: capable, intentional and thoughtfully engineered without unnecessary bulk.

Built from a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, ANVIL 715 extends the overland narrative first introduced with the Jeep Bug Out concept, evolving it into a more refined, boundary-pushing expression. A bold new design approach, unexpected functionality and simplified solutions challenge assumptions about Wrangler's limits.

Drawing inspiration from iconic Jeep vehicles of the 1960s while pushing forward into new territory, the ANVIL 715 concept blends heritage cues with forward-looking proportions, clever packaging and solutions created specifically for long-range exploration.
