Jeep unveils new Trailhawk Concept

Let�s get it out there first that a few years back Jeep unveiled a concept called the Hurricane, which allowed all 4 wheels to turn independently, and that never hit production; we�ll se how this one goes. Anyways, Jeep�s new Trailhawk is looking to bridge the gap between their Jeep Wrangler unlimited and their Cherokee. The Trailhawk is meant to be able to transport 4 people (just like the previously mentioned ones) off-road, and the roof has 3 panels of glass, which can be removed, so you can go off-roading with the wind blowing in your hair (sound like a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?). Besides the obvious designs to make this a Jeep, the Trailhawk is taking a stab at the higher-class of off-roaders, making the Trailhawk a little sleeker appearance. One of these stabs are rear-mounted speakers that can be removed and used as portable media. One final thought before you start praying that Jeep puts this on the market: this is powered with Bluetect diesel, you know, the expensive stuff. More pictures after the jump.
