The profile looks alot like the Grand Cherokee from the shape of the wheel arches, the side profile and rear quarter window, and then you get inside, and the dash layout is very similar right down to the center stack air vent shape! VW copy Jeep?

I see some jeep design language in the fender arches, but then again how many ways can you make a wheel well, either completely round or partially round alas the GMC terrain, their new full size pickups, and the Cherokee. Either way, Id take this over an explorer any day. Diesel Hybrid is a win.
