2023 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK 4XE | FAMILY REVIEW WITH CHILD SEAT INSTALLATION

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe is reviewed as a capable but ultimately overpriced plug-in hybrid SUV. While praised for its spacious interior, significantly larger than its predecessor, and its impressive off-road dimensions and capabilities (including a comfortable ride over rough terrain thanks to the adaptive air suspension), the reviewers express reservations about its styling, which they find too boxy. The interior, while featuring nice textures, is criticized for excessive use of piano black trim that shows dust easily. A key point of contention is the price; at over $73,000 as tested, both reviewers feel it's approximately $10,000 too expensive, lacking features like a head-up display and having some less premium-feeling elements. They suggest that for the price, one might be better off with a more luxurious or a more affordable, gas-powered version of the Trailhawk. The electric-only range of around 25 miles is noted, and the vehicle performs well in electric mode, though the gasoline engine is described as loud and sometimes clunky in operation. The car seat installation is straightforward, and the rear cargo space is ample, but the overall value proposition is questioned.
