What’s New for the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
While the automotive industry makes the shift to all-electric vehicles, many automakers are making a slow transition, testing the waters with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). One iconic automaker is known for this – Jeep®. Known for its 4×4 off-road SUVs, “electric power” may not be as synonymous with the name, but that won’t be for long. After all, electric motors deliver more torque, and that is more prevalent than ever with the 4xe lineup. Check out the highlights for the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe.
What’s New
Made up of four trims – 4xe, 4xe Trailhawk, 4xe Overland, and 4xe Summit – the Grand Cherokee 4xe now comes with 18-inch black-painted aluminum wheels standard on the Trailhawk trim. Later in 2023, a new Anniversary Edition will eventually be released. This comes with Capri leatherette seats, ventilated front seats, wireless charging pad, nine-speaker Alpine audio system, Uconnect 5 NAV with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, unique blacked-out exterior appearance, 20-inch black wheels, special badging, and body-color rear fascia, lower moldings, sill claddings and wheel flares.
Power
Because this is a plug-in hybrid SUV, the powertrain is a combination of a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine and an electric motor, able to generate up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic PHEV transmission, the Grand Cherokee 4xe provides a total all-electric range (AER) of 25 miles, with an EPA-estimated 56 MPGe. As good as any other Jeep, this plug-in hybrid SUV comes with the Quadra Trac II 4×4 system with two-speed transfer case and 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio, is capable of providing a 47.4:1 crawl ratio, can deliver up to 10.9 inches of ground clearance and 24 inches of water fording. The Grand Cherokee 4xe also has a max towing capability of 6,000 lbs.
