Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

The new edition of the Jeep flagship will be offered in a shorter and longer body version (with which come three rows of seats) and five equipment packages. For the first time, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe also brings an electrified plug-in hybrid drive option.

In a statement, Jeep CEO Christian Meunier said: “The Jeep Grand Cherokee is our global flagship and will be leading the Jeep brand into a new era of premium refinement, innovative technology, advanced 4×4 capability and electrification.”

Inside, there are a pair of 10.1-inch screens for the driver display and infotainment system, as well as a 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display.

The hybrid Grand Cherokee is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors with a total power of 375 hp (276 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. The capacity of the 14.0-kWh lithium-ion battery is sufficient to cover 24 miles (40 kilometers) without the use of ICE, while the total combined driving range is 440 miles (708 kilometers).

The base 3.6-liter V6 petrol engine offers 289 hp (212 kW) and 260 lb-ft (352 Nm) of torque. Optional are the Trailhawk, Overland and Summit equipment packages with a 5.7-liter V8 engine delivering 362 hp (266 kW) and 390 lb-ft (529 Nm) of torque. All models use an eight-speed automatic transmission to transmit power to all wheels.

2022 Jeep Grand Commander

It’s been very exciting at Jeep lately. After the new Jeep Commander hit the South American market a few days ago, Jeep unveiled an improved Grand Commander model at the recent Chengdu Auto Show.

The new Grand Commander is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 232 hp (173 kW) engine with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive has more power, 263 hp (196 kW). Power is transmitted via a nine-speed automatic transmission, available in all models. There is also a hybrid version with a 2.0-liter engine and two electric motors, powered by a 13 kWh battery. The PHEV version produces enough juice to cover a range of 561 miles (900 km).

If you think the Chinese and South American versions are based on the same platform, you are wrong. The South American model uses a smaller platform that is also used on the Compass model. The Chinese model uses a larger platform as does the Cherokee model.

Speaking of looks, it should be noted that the new Grand Commander has retained the front grille with visible changes to the headlights with LED light strip. New bumpers with better intakes have been installed. At the rear are high-mounted thinner taillights. The interior has not been changed. There are 7 seats in three rows, in the middle of the dashboard there is a touch screen with many options available.

The starting price of the Grand Commander model with an internal combustion engine ranges from $ 37,000 to $ 51,000. The hybrid version costs about $ 48,000.
