As previously announced, Jeep has decided to modernize its offering in the European market. This decision refers to stopping the offer of cars with petrol and diesel engines, after Jeep electrified all its models on offer.

This decision comes a day after the premiere of the plug-in hybrid Grand Cherokee. Jeep will continue to offer internal combustion engines in the Italian market, while the rest of Europe will have to choose between E-Hybrid and plug-in hybrid (4xe).

“We’re speeding up electrification, boosting 4×4 capabilities and the spirit of freedom with electrification. It’s not just about being more green. It’s about highlighting and improving the capabilities of our Jeeps – to make them more fun, exciting, sustainable and enable off -road driving in silence, “said Jeep CEO Christian Meunier for British Autocar.

The new generation plug-in hybrid Grand Cherokee is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine assisted by an electric motor, with a total power of 375 hp (280 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque.

Recently, Jeep announced its plan that by 2025, 70% of sales will be electrified models.
