The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, the first electrified Grand Cherokee, offers an all-new plug-in hybrid powertrain delivering 25 miles of all-electric range and 56 MPGe at a starting US manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $57,700.

The new Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe lineup consists of four models: 4xe, Trailhawk 4xe, Overland 4xe and Summit 4xe, as well as one package (for the Summit 4xe): the Summit Reserve 4xe.

All prices exclude $1,795 destination charge.

Built at the new Detroit Assembly Complex – Mack plant, the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is scheduled to start arriving in Jeep dealerships in spring of 2022.

The 4xe PHEV technology includes a Quadra Trac II 4x4 system with two-speed transfer case and 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio; 47.4:1 crawl ratio; and 6,000-lbs (2,720 kg) 4xe max towing capability.

The 4xe propulsion system combines two electric motors, a 400-volt battery pack, 2.0-liter turbocharged, four-cylinder engine and TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission for maximum efficiency and capability. Overall, the 4xe system delivers 375 horsepower (280 kW) and 470 lb.-ft. (637 N·m) of torque.

The fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine is part of Stellantis’s Global Medium Engine family. The high-tech, direct-injection engine uses a twin-scroll, low-inertia turbocharger mounted directly to the cylinder head. Efficiency is enhanced via the use of electric power steering and an electrically driven air-conditioning compressor, removing those loads from the engine.
