2024 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4XE: A BIT TOO EXPENSIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe presents a compelling, albeit expensive, package. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain delivers impressive performance with 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, making it the quickest Grand Cherokee to date. The interior is noted as upscale for a Jeep, featuring comfortable seats, a refined digital gauge cluster, and Jeep's excellent Uconnect 5 infotainment system. Standard safety features are abundant, and the vehicle retains classic Jeep styling with modern touches, including distinctive amber headlights and blue accents for the 4xe model. Off-roading capability is highlighted as a significant advantage over competitors. However, the primary drawback is its steep starting price, which begins above $60,000, placing it in contention with luxury brands. The reviewer also points out a jerky and unrefined transmission, particularly noticeable when not in full electric mode, and a somewhat disappointing 26-mile all-electric range. While the ride quality is acceptable, it doesn't quite match luxury rivals, and the overall driving experience, especially the transmission's behavior, is seen as a significant detractor for the price.
