Jeep has released this sketch of the upcoming Trailhawk concept.
The new concept SUV will be shown for the first time at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit in January.
Jeep says the Trailhawk concept is a cross between the Wrangler and the more upscale Grand Cherokee. Based on the underpinnings of the 2007 Wrangler, the Trailhawk "taps into 'Jeep Rugged' attributes," the company says.
Jeep says the concept is built around the ideas of unsurpassed off-road capability and a "new approach to open-air freedom." The name is inspired by the appearance of the headlamps - slashed on a diagonal and looking, Jeep says, like a bird of prey.
Stay tuned for more information on this new concept as TheCarConnection covers the 2007 Detroit auto show starting January 7, 2007.
Chrysler Nassau and Jeep Trailhawk Concepts
By The Chrysler Group
Published: November 22, 2006
Chrysler Group today shared sketches of two concepts that will be unveiled in January 2007 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit — Chrysler Nassau Concept and Jeep® Trailhawk Concept.
The Chrysler Nassau concept is a four-door, four-passenger luxury coupe with an emphasis on driving dynamics. The artistic exterior design leans toward an exploration as to what could be a future sedan in the brand's lineup. The Chrysler Nassau concept highlights sweeping curves to define the front and rear fasciae.
The Jeep Trailhawk concept merges the spectrum of the Jeep brand by combining the core features of the Jeep Wrangler with the sophistication of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Derived from the all-new 2007 Wrangler architecture, the Jeep Trailhawk concept taps into "Jeep Rugged" attributes to provide classic proportions, unsurpassed off-road capability and a new approach to open-air freedom. The headlamps, cropped and peering out from beneath a diagonal brow, produce the countenance of a bird of prey, and the inspiration for the "Trailhawk" name.
