THE 2022 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4XE IS JEEP GOING ELECTRIC

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe represents a significant step for Jeep into electrification, offering a compelling plug-in hybrid powertrain. The reviewer highlights its impressive combined horsepower and torque, which result in a 0-60 mph time quicker than the V8 Hemi version, despite the added weight. The interior quality is lauded, with luxurious materials, extensive screen real estate (including a unique passenger-side screen), and advanced driver-assist features that rival true luxury brands. Positives include the comfortable ride thanks to air suspension, excellent outward visibility, and a capable 6,000-pound towing capacity. However, the reviewer notes a drawback in the inability to select pure electric mode without the gas engine potentially kicking in under heavy acceleration, and the lack of three-row seating availability for the 4xe model. The cargo area's second-row seats also require manual folding from the doors, a minor inconvenience compared to rivals. Despite these points, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is considered one of the best mid-size SUVs on the market, offering a luxurious and efficient package.
