Scheduled to be unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in March, alongside the Euro-spec 2014 Jeep Cherokee, the brand’s all-new subcompact SUV (Laredo?) is still a mystery as far as design and powetrains are concerned.
Although Jeep has yet to drop the camouflage off its new vehicle, which was spotted several times by our spy photographers in Italy and Sweden, the folks over at Auto Express took a shot at guessing what’s beneath the black covers.

The rendering takes inspiration from the familiar Jeep Wrangler and features the same boxy shape and squared-off wheel arches seen across the automaker’s lineup. The seven-bar front grille is flanked by round headlamps, despite Jeep’s efforts in making them looks square on their test vehicle.

The new crossover will be built in Fiat’s factory in Melfi, Italy, alongside the 500L model, who will be donating its 0.9-liter TwinAir, 1.4-liter MultiAir and 1.6-liter MultiJet engines.
