Jeep expands its plug-in hybrid offerings with new Grand Cherokee 4xe model
Last year, Jeep brought out a plug-in hybrid version of its signature Wrangler model, the 4xe. Pure battery power for short distances, and a conventional engine for longer trips.
The idea is the same as with the Wrangler 4xe, as they're both PHEVs or plug-in hybrids. Plug the new Grand Cherokee in and charge it up, and you've got battery power for up to 26 miles. Or, go gas-free for short commutes and local errands on pavement. Drive with anything but full throttle, and the SUV will stay in battery mode, even on the freeway. (If you do push down on the accelerator pretty hard, the engine will automatically come on. Official"MPGe," how the EPA calculates the overall mileage of the electric and gasoline systems combined, is an impressive number: 56.
Like many brands, Jeep has promised a future with many electric options, as has its parent company, Stellantis. The future is certainly electric. But they're also hedging their bets that conventional power will be needed by many people, far into the future.
