The VX's external styling has it all over this new "Cherokee," and I'm not a big fan of the Evoque, either.
It's too bad our dashes and stacks are so early 90's. Styling-wise, it's the weakest part. I said styling, yes. No need to mention the back-seat entry/egress (tough to do without laughing), or the popperless tailgate, or the storage space... But I love my VX like few cars I've ever owned.
Speaking of - stay tuned. New horse on the way to the stable.
