There is a five slot grille, if you ignore the fact that they are not vertical but slanted. The headlights are definitely Cherokee influenced. The profile is ... well, I saw it in the 1990s, usually on concepts.

Just because it has stacked headlights, doesn't mean it's KL-like. I agree that I see more Evoque than anything. Which doesn't speak SUV to me at all, so if that's the case, glad this has a Fiat badge on it and not Jeep.

Did someone say it has a bit of the Ford Edge to it? No? Well, I see some of that Ford Edge-ness in the concept. Not a lot, but there is that sort of Vibe, for lack of a better word.

Not liking the greenhouse - the ratio of body metal-to-glazed area IS NOT getting it for me. Yeah, I know: It's just a concept rendering.

If I had a series of test renderings of various designs with intended specifications, I would give back a rank ordering of what I liked. This, however, I'm not liking.

I would guess they made it a Fiat concept because it is Brasil and they did not want to go through all the criticism that happened with the Cherokee.
It is Qwerky but I like the concept.

It's simply a concept from the FIAT Brazil style center. They usually have one each year.

Ford used styling/design cues from its portfolio when it owned Land Rover...I see it in all of its mid-sized cuv/suv offerings.

FWIW, Some Jeep concepts also didn't always scream traditional Jeep values and style....long before FCA. Concepts should be taken for what they are.
It's a concept and as such it hardly matters what in looks like or what is underneath it at this point. (That stopped mattering 5 years ago)
My comments were prompted by the proclamation by Sergio that Jeeps are now the worldwide brand.
"Jeeps" are popping up under the FCA banner all over the world, regardless of their underpinnings. I simply thought it was inconsistent to call a Jeep-like SUV in Brazil, ...a Fiat.

Ha! Because the Concept is the next Freemont....

I wouldn't be surprised to see the upcoming Dodge D-CUV take on a similar form...
