Jeep will officially unveil its Yuntu concept at the Shanghai Auto Show on Wednesday,  but here are the official teaser sketches in the meantime.

The three-row SUV has a futuristic yet recognisably Jeep exterior design while remaining still having that rugged SUV edge.

Sleek mirrors, flush door handles,a raked windscreen and a rather flat roof with black roof rails all work together to produce an attractive and streamlined design.

In the front, slender LED headlights flank the seven-slot grille and below that is aluminum underbody protection, while the side profiles shows plastic boddy cladding and familiar square wheel arches. The chunky over-sized off-road tyres give the car an aggressive look that juxtaposes the sleek design.

“PHEV” lettering on the front doors indicates the concept will boast a plug-in hybrid powertrain but no technical specifiations have been made available yet.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
