The automotive world’s shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) continues to gather momentum, and Jeep is joining the fray with its latest reveal – the 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe. This exciting new addition to Jeep’s portfolio showcases the brand’s commitment to expand its EV lineup by 2025.
The 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe is a plug-in hybrid that builds on the success of the Wrangler 4xe, Jeep’s first electrified model. Combining powerful performance with impressive efficiency, the Grand Cherokee 4xe offers off-road enthusiasts an eco-friendly option without compromising on capability.
At the heart of this innovative SUV lies a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, supplemented by two electric motors that derive power from a 17 kWh battery pack. Together, these components churn out an impressive total output of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The electric-only driving range is estimated to be around 25 miles, while still providing a remarkable towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds.
The new Grand Cherokee also features three different e-Selec modes – Hybrid, Electric, and e-Save – enabling drivers to optimize their driving experience based on performance and efficiency. Furthermore, Jeep has equipped this trailblazing model with its next-generation four-wheel-drive technology to ensure exceptional off-road prowess.
Impressive as it is under the hood, the Grand Cherokee 4xe doesn’t skimp on contemporary design or interior creature comforts. Its exterior boasts a distinct and stylish look that sets it apart from traditional Jeep models. Inside, passengers will enjoy luxurious appointments such as leather-trimmed seats and premium wood accents. A cutting-edge infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto guarantees seamless connectivity on the go.
The launch of the Grand Cherokee 4xe is a pivotal step in Jeep’s electrification plan, and the company has set ambitious goals for the near future. According to recent statements, Jeep aims to have at least 70% of its global sales come from electrified vehicles by 2025. Furthermore, the brand plans to introduce two full-electric models by 2023.
As awareness around sustainability and environmental impact grows, more and more automakers are increasing their investment in EV technologies. Jeep’s bold move with the 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe places it in a strong position in the rapidly evolving market and underscores its commitment to building an environmentally conscious product lineup for years to come.
