Jeep Wrangler 4xe

The Jeep Wrangler has long been known as the most iconic SUV built. It can take you on just about any adventure you want to go. As if Wrangler lovers thought it couldn't get any better, the Hybrid model just got supercharged with the Uconnect system. Its rugged capabilities and off-road prowess are combined with a plug-in hybrid electric powertrain, which offers increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The Wrangler 4xe is equipped with a hybrid powertrain that has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. The combination gives a total output of around 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.


 
 
 

It has a 17 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that provides an all-electric driving range of approximately 21 miles. No matter if you choose a short commute or an off-road adventure, as long as you're in electric mode, you are reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The 4xe has eTorque technology, which uses a belt-driven motor generator unit to provide additional torque during acceleration and regenerative braking to recharge the battery. This technology enhances both performance and fuel efficiency.

 

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

The Grand Cherokee 4xe is an electric version of the ever-so-popular Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV. It combines the luxurious capabilities of the Grand Cherokee with a plug-in hybrid electric powertrain. The Grand Cherokee 4xe has enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. It comes equipped with a hybrid system that combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors. This system has a total output of around 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

 
 

The 4xe model is equipped with a 17.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, offering an all-electric driving range of approximately 25 miles. This driving range allows for emission-free driving on shorter commutes or city driving. Its eTorque technology uses a belt-driven motor generator unit to provide additional torque during acceleration and regenerative braking to recharge the battery. The 4xe has different driving modes to suit various driving conditions. The options include a Hybrid mode to optimize power distribution for maximum efficiency automatically. Electric mode allows for all-electric driving, and eSave mode prioritizes the combustion engine to conserve battery charge.

 

Wagoneer S

The sporty and exciting Wagoneer S will be one of the first high-performance electric SUVs. According to Jeep, the S stands for speed, striking, and sexy. The Wagoneer S is projected to have a 400-mile range goal and an acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. It should have dual 600-horsepower electric motors. The plan is to make the Wagoneer S available for reservations in 2024. The S will be slightly smaller than the current size of the Wagoneer. It's expected to be about the same size as the Grand Cherokee. 

 

Jeep Recon

The Jeep Recon is another attempt at Jeep's all-electric vehicle. The Recon is intended to be like the Jeep Wrangler but better because it's electric only. Jeep plans to design the Recon to be as strong and robust as the Wrangler but without the emissions. The Recon is supposed to feature the Selec-Terrain traction management system and e-locker axle technology. It will also have standard features like under-body protection, tow hooks, and aggressive off-road tires. It is given the gold standard of trail-rated capability.

The Recon is supposed to debut in 2024 when it will be available for reservations. Production should start late in 2024. Additional features offered as part of the Recon include a one-touch power top, removable doors and glass, and the most Uconnect system. The Recon will also have travel guides for the best off-road trails.
