The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Delivers the Best of Two Worlds

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Driving Range and Electric Capability

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is not your typical SUV. When you think of SUVs, you probably think of vehicles that are versatile and spacious, but less than efficient when it comes to fuel consumption. With gas prices as high as they have been lately, electric-powered vehicles ought to be near the top of the list for any car shopper.

In our opinion, at the very top of that list should be the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid for its electric capabilities and impressive MPGe. The 4xe will significantly cut down your gas costs. That’s because the Grand Cherokee 4xe can achieve an all-electric driving range of 25 miles while achieving 56 MPGe. For those who aren’t familiar with the term, MPGe stands for “miles per gallon equivalent” and is used in this case because it is a measurement of the 4xe’s electric efficiency. The EPA has yet to release an official MPG rating for the vehicle when operating in full hybrid mode.

2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain Specs

One thing many people mistakenly assume about plug-in hybrid powertrains is that they must deliver a lack of engine power. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Between its combination of electric and gasoline power, the Grand Cherokee 4xe puts you in command of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

4xe Driving Modes

That’s a lot of torque, which is a useful thing to have whether towing or merging onto the highway alike. Better yet, the Grand Cherokee 4xe has three E-Selec modes: Hybrid, Electric and eSave. These modes allow you to tailor the powertrain power and efficiency to your preference. Use the full Hybrid mode to experience the 4xe in its truest form, including utilizing the vehicle’s 6,000 lb towing capacity. With the Electric mode, you can switch to fully electric power for up to 25 miles, meaning you could potentially make your daily commute without using any gas at all, then charge up at home overnight. On the flipside, eSave mode will utilize solely engine power while saving power from the electric battery.

Off-Road Capability

It’s important to know that just because the 4xe is a plug-in hybrid doesn’t mean that it isn’t capable of the same off-roading prowess you’d expect from the rest of the Grand Cherokee lineup. The Selec-Terrain system makes it easy to traverse any terrain with five modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand.

The 4xe also offers two 4×4 systems. Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II, the latter of which includes a rear electronic limited slip differential. There is also Quadra-Lift (isn’t “Quadra” a fun word to say?), which is an air suspension system giving you 24 inches of water fording and 10.9 inches of ground clearance. Simply put, you won’t be missing out on any off-roading adventures by opting for a plug-in hybrid like the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe.

By 2025, all Jeep SUVs are expected to offer electric mobility options, and the Grand Cherokee 4xe proves that the future is bright. MSRP info has yet to be made available for the 2023 model, but you can contact us at Rairdon’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Monroe for all the latest information.
