This is yet another recognition for the 4xe system on the other side of the Atlantic, where the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the most popular plug-in hybrid model in the highly competitive American market.
Jeep's electrified technology, as expressed by the e-Hybrid and 4xe hybrid systems, is a key pillar of the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, through which the Group will reduce its global carbon footprint by 50%. In this context, Jeep passenger model sales in Europe by 2030 will consist entirely of all-electric vehicles.
The first Grand Cherokee with a Plug-in Hybird system in the legendary model's history brings a range of advanced features that make it the most efficient, capable on- and off-road and environmentally friendly Grand Cherokee in history.
With all-electric drive capability for up to 50km, the Grand Cherokee 4xe combines an efficient 2-litre turbo petrol engine and two electric motors. Through an 8-speed gearbox, the hybrid system powers all four wheels with 380bhp and 640Nm of torque, ensuring, 0-100km/h acceleration in 6.3sec. and an equally impressive 2,300kg towing capacity. The all-wheel-drive system also features a sub-multiplication gearbox (short ratio), while ground clearance reaches up to 27.5cm thanks to the Quadra-Lift air suspension.
