吉普指南者和爱国者替代车型即将量产，最近谍照记者拍到了Trailhawk版本照片。该车定位在自由侠（Renegade）和切诺基之间，虽然车身进行了重度伪装，但仍可看出其造型深受切诺基和大切诺基影响。虽然无法看清细节，但能看出该车采用了倾角更大风挡，更陡直腰线和更具动感座舱。车头可以看到圆形雾灯，车尾可见设置在尾门上的扰流器和细窄尾灯组。由于这款车是更注重越野性能的Trailhawk版本，它采用了两个红色挂钩，前保险杠很可能进行了改款以提供更大接近角。预计该车将采用经过延长的Small Wide平台，由于菲亚特500X和吉普自由侠也采用该平台，因此动力系统也将与那两款车共享，包括一台2.4升虎鲨四缸引擎，功率180马力，扭矩175磅-英尺（约合237牛米）。这款车将于今年晚些时候在巴西发布，随后也将在该国投产。

 

Jeep Compass & Patriot replacement spied in Trailhawk guise

The Jeep Compass and Patriot replacement is inching closer to production as spy photographers have snapped photos of the Trailhawk variant.

 

Set to slot in between the Renegade and Cherokee, the heavily disguised model appears to be heavily influenced by the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. Styling details are hard to make out but we can see the model has a rakish windscreen, an upward sweeping beltline, and a dynamic greenhouse. The crossover also has circular fog lights, a tailgate-mounted spoiler, and slender taillights.

 

Since this particular prototype is an off-road focused Trailhawk variant, it features two red tow hooks and a mostly revised front bumper that has been designed to provide a better approach angle.

 

Little else is known about the crossover but it is expected to ride on an extended version of the Small Wide platform that underpins the Fiat 500X and Jeep Renegade. Engine options are expected to carryover from the latter model so power could be provided by a 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder engine that produces 180 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque.

 

The Jeep Compass and Patriot replacement will be unveiled later this year in Brazil as the country is home to the first plant that will build the crossover.
