Jeep Cherokee discontinued after 49 years, successor in the works.

Jeep has officially ended production of the Cherokee after nearly 50 years, with the plant being idled indefinitely as negotiations with the United Auto Workers union continue. The name "Cherokee" will still be used for the Grand Cherokee, which was recently overhauled, but it's unclear if Jeep has plans to replace the midsize crossover. The new Alfa Romeo-based Hornet may fill that spot in Stellantis's lineup.
