4. Jeep Cherokee (KL, 2019 facelift)

With its 2019 facelift, the Jeep Cherokee underwent a noticeable shift away from its bold, polarizing front-end design toward a softer, more mainstream aesthetic.
Gone were the distinctive split headlights and aggressive grille arrangement, in favor of a subtler, more conventional look that left many Jeep loyalists disappointed.
Critics argued the facelift diluted the Cherokee’s rugged identity, making it appear less adventurous and more urban-oriented.
While some buyers appreciated the toned-down styling, others felt the facelift undermined Jeep’s iconic heritage, sparking mixed reactions and debates within automotive circles about balancing broad appeal against brand authenticity.
