The all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee L may look different from the muscular SUV predecessor, but we can already tell it's going to be a success. Its lines will influence several other models, but a sedan is obviously not going to be among them. Right?
The market is now fully saturated with SUVs, so artists don't have a lot they can imagine/render. However, an interesting idea popped up last year and is getting a lot of traction: luxury 4-door sedans from companies that mainly offer high-riders.

We think the idea started with the rumor of a Range Rover sedan model, potentially an electric one. While the idea seemed strange at first, the comfort and stately, timeless design of these British 4x4 work perfectly in a limo format. Jeep is the American equivalent of Land Rover, and it too embodies those attributes.

This wouldn't be the first time we've seen a Jeep sedan rendering. However, where all artists worked by combining the front end of an SUV with the body of a 4-door car, YouTuber TheSketchMonkey did it the old-fashioned way, massaging the body of a 2021 Grand Cherokee L into a Chrysler-like appearance.

Many small changes had to be made to the roof, fenders, windows, and especially the fascia. Obviously, since there's never been a Jeep sedan before, it's going to look a little weird. But there are some traditionally-styled models that resemble this rendering, like Rolls-Royces or the Toyota Century, for example.

Historically, there is one model that vaguely fits the description of a Jeep sedan. Before it was acquired by Chrysler in the late 80s, Jeep was owned by AMC. And they made something called the AMC Eagle, which was a combination between the Concord sedan and the all-wheel-drive from the CJ. It was a first in the compact segment, but the idea never really took off.

So can Jeep do this? Yes, obviously. Many Jeep models are based on car platforms that could be reverse-engineered. But we think this imaginary sedan would need to be a full-sized flagship, and not some slammed down Renegade.
