Jeep’s Grand Cherokee is a mid-sized SUV that has earned a reputation for its dependable powertrains, beefy construction, and functional design. Its latest generation ups the ante by offering cutting-edge off-road technology and a robust plug-in hybrid system. This is your introduction to the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe!
Powertrain
At the heart of the Grand Cherokee 4xe’s plug-in hybrid powertrain is a turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 engine that partners with two electric motors to develop a total of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This incredible performance gets transferred to all four wheels through a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Along with achieving a blisteringly quick 0-to-60 time of just 5.3 seconds, the vehicle can tow up to 6,000 pounds.
The EPA has estimated an impressive fuel economy of 56 MPGe combined for the Grand Cherokee 4xe, so you can venture deep into remote territory without worrying about refueling. The powertrain enables an all-electric driving range of up to 25 miles, as well. The 14-kWh battery can be fully charged overnight when using a 120-volt outlet, though an available Level 2 charger cuts down charging times to just a few hours for a full charge.
Off-Road Capability
The Grand Cherokee 4xe’s standard four-wheel drive comes in the form of Jeep’s lauded Quadra-Trac II system. This system continuously maximizes traction and features low-range gearing and a 2-speed transfer case for improved control on especially challenging trails.
The available Quadra-Drive II four-wheel drive system adds to the vehicle’s already excellent off-roading ability with its electronic limited-slip differential that can send all of the engine’s torque to a single wheel. The Grand Cherokee 4xe’s fully independent suspension allows for exceptional absorption of bumps and impacts while providing plenty of articulation for rock crawling.
Passenger Cabin
Despite its rugged nature, the Grand Cherokee 4xe houses an elegant and amenity-filled interior. The vehicle’s cabin incorporates a generous use of high-quality, soft-touch materials and an intuitive layout for the controls. Thanks to nearly 40 inches of headroom in both rows, 41.3 inches of front legroom, and 38.2 inches of rear legroom, passengers never feel cramped. When the rear seats are folded down, cargo space increases from 37.7 to 70.8 cubic feet.
A long list of premium comforts includes dual-zone climate control, heated seats, 8-way power adjustability for both front seats, and luxurious leatherette upholstery. The Summit model adds 16-way power adjustability and massaging for the front seats and beautiful Nappa leather. The standard 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen lets users access wireless smartphone integration and connected navigation with real-time traffic updates.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe proves that you don’t need to sacrifice efficiency and comfort for powerful on- and off-road performance. Visit Charlevoix Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Charlevoix, MI today and experience it for yourself!
