Driver-focused and intentionally analog, the Laredo concept embraces a “fewer features, more feel” philosophy.

Jeep XJ Pioneer Concept
Introduced in 1984, the Jeep Cherokee XJ was the industry’s first true compact SUV, redefining 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 is meant to honor Jeep as the segment’s original trailblazer. It blends authentic history with a restomod approach designed to resonate with those who owned an XJ throughout its 17-year production run.
