The Jeep Grand Cherokee has long been synonymous with off-road prowess, luxurious comfort, and cutting-edge technology. For 2025, the bar is raised even higher with the Grand Cherokee 4xe, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that seamlessly blends Jeep’s legendary 4×4 capability with remarkable efficiency and electric driving range. This isn’t just an evolution; it’s a revolution, injecting electrifying performance into the heart of the most awarded SUV ever.
Electrified Performance Meets Trail-Rated Capability
The Grand Cherokee 4xe isn’t about compromise; it’s about enhancement. It amplifies the Jeep experience, delivering an exhilarating 375 horsepower and a staggering 470 lb.-ft. of torque. This power comes from a sophisticated powertrain that combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors and a 400-volt battery pack. The result? Impressive acceleration and robust performance both on and off the road.
But the story doesn’t end with power. The Grand Cherokee 4xe also boasts an EPA-estimated 56 MPGe and 25 miles of all-electric range. Imagine your daily commute powered solely by electricity, and then having the full capability of a Jeep Grand Cherokee ready for weekend adventures. This plug-in hybrid technology allows drivers to tailor their driving experience with E Selec modes:
- Hybrid: The default mode, seamlessly blending power from the electric motor and gas engine for optimal fuel efficiency and performance.
- Electric: Zero-emission driving using only electric power until the battery is depleted or increased power is demanded.
