2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Electric Driving Range

Jeep engineers haven’t gone full electric with the latest member of the Grand Cherokee family. The bulk of the vehicle’s propulsion will come from a turbocharged 2.0-litre, inline four-cylinder engine. While this is a smaller power plant than Grand Cherokee owners are used to seeing, the engine will still make up to 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The secret to such high-performance output is a powerful electric motor that supplements the gasoline engine’s capability. Drivers will be able to travel up to 40 km using only the electricity stored in its high-capacity battery system.

Just because the Grand Cherokee 4xe is a plug-in hybrid platform, does that mean it is losing any of its well-earned off-road capability. Jeep has fully enclosed all of the otherwise sensitive electrical components required for the 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe to move. A series of rugged skid plates protect these systems. Additionally, each battery unit is independently cooled to ensure optimum performance.

How Much Cargo Volume Does the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe have?

Like its gasoline-powered counterparts, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe offers very generous dimensions for all five passengers as well as for cargo. When people are sitting in the rear row of seats, there will still be more than 1 cubic-meter (37.7 cu.-ft.) of cargo volume to use. Folding the seats down will open the rear of the vehicle up to offer 2.0 cubic-meters (70.8 cu.-ft.). 

Towing will also be a strong point for the hybrid version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. The vehicle can tow more than 2,700 kg (6,000 lbs.) when it is properly equipped.

More information about the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe will be available before its official launch date. Make an appointment with a Finch Chrysler product expert today if you would like to learn more about the exciting new vehicle platform.
