Is one particular of the different brands from inside the Stellantis household preparing to release a new model dubbed the Nighthawk? It’s surely attainable.

On November 30, the automobile manufacturer filed to trademark the name ‘Nighthawk’ with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for “land vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles.” The application fails to mention which of the different Stellantis brands could use the name but it would be a logical selection for Jeep that presently sells Trailhawk versions of the Compass, Renegade, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee, and has previously sold the Grand Cherokee as a higher-efficiency Trackhawk.

As usually, the straightforward truth that Stellantis has filed to trademark such a name does not imply it intends on releasing a automobile dubbed the Nighthawk. However, we consider it would be best for a distinct trim level of a Jeep, maybe one particular with black or darkened components. The name could also suit a efficiency-focused version of some thing like the Grand Cherokee, maybe produced as a successor to the Hellcat-powered Trackhawk.

It’s also attainable that the name could be applied to one particular of the impending battery-electric or plug-in hybrid Jeep models that are in the performs, Motor Authority notes. One of the most compelling EVs getting readied for the Jeep brand is the Recon, positioned as an electric option to the ever-common Wrangler and constructed about the STLA Large EV platform.

Another compelling electric Jeep in the performs is the Wagoneer S EV, previewed in idea guise alongside the Recon at a dealer occasion earlier this year. This model is primarily based about the identical platform as the Recon but has a significantly sleeker, road-oriented style and could hit the market place with a one hundred kWh battery pack and maybe as significantly as 600 hp thanks to a pair of electric motors.
