The arrival of the New Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe Plug-In Hybrid sees the new Jeep SUV join the existing American brand’s “4xe” models. The “4xe” badge, consolidated as authentic Jeep branding, represents capability, sustainability, efficiency and even more safety and driving pleasure.

From the moment the Jeep brand introduced the Grand Cherokee in 1992 by driving it up the steps of Cobo Hall in Detroit and through a glass window, signifying the breakthrough premium SUV, it set a new industry benchmark and quickly became synonymous with upscale design and uncompromised capability.

As the most capable SUV brand pushes toward its future of “Zero Emission Freedom,”, this fifth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee builds on its legacy as the most awarded SUV ever, bringing an all-new architecture, new plug-in hybrid powertrain, all-new exterior design, all-new interior with world-class craftsmanship and first-to-market technologies to the global full-size SUV segment.

Setting the Standard

The new Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe has been designed and engineered to deliver even more of what has made it a true global icon in the premium SUV segment.

The state-of-the-art Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe is designed inside and out to deliver unmatched capability and composed driving dynamics. Its renowned 4×4 systems (Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II), Quadra-Lift air suspension and Selec-Terrain traction management system instill Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe with the Jeep brand’s legendary 4×4 capability.

The all-new architecture and sculpted aerodynamic body style combine to improve vehicle performance, safety and reliability, while significantly reducing vehicle weight, noise and vibration. Designed to maximise overall passenger safety, comfort and convenience, the all-new Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe packs a powerful punch with next generation features and technologies that make it a standout in the full-size SUV segment.

First-ever Grand Cherokee 4xe

The all-new Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe is the first Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid (PHEV). Its introduction signals the continued growth of the Jeep brand’s electrified mission, towards future mobility.  The 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technology enhances the fun, freedom and adventure that the Jeep brand is known for, while providing unprecedented performance, fuel economy and environmental friendliness:

• up to 30 miles electric range in combined cycle and 32 miles city electric range in the urban cycle
• 380hp combined and 637 Nm torque
• Quadra Trac II or Quadra Drive II 4x4system with two-speed transfer case and 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio
• 47.4:1 crawl ratio
• 2,300 kg of max towing capability

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe PHEV Side View

Available in Limited 4xe, Trailhawk 4xe, Overland 4xe and Summit Reserve 4xe models, the all-new Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe propulsion system combines two electric motors, a 400-volt battery pack, 2.0-litre turbocharged, four-cylinder engine and TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission for maximum efficiency and capability.

Overall, the 4xe system delivers 380 combined horsepower and 637 Nm torque, up to 30 miles electric range in combined cycle and 32 miles city electric range in the urban cycle.

The fuel-efficient 2.0-litre 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.

The conventional alternator is replaced with a high-voltage, liquid-cooled motor generator unit. Connected to the engine crankshaft pulley via a belt, the motor generator spins the engine for nearly seamless, fuel-saving, start-stop operation and generates electricity for the battery pack. A larger high-voltage motor generator is mounted in the transmission, replacing the torque converter. Two clutches manage power and torque from the e-motor and engine.

A clutch is mounted between the engine and the motor. When the system operates in electric-only mode this clutch is open so there is no mechanical linkage between the engine and the e-motor. When the clutch is closed, combined torque from the 2.0-liter engine and the e-motor flow through the automatic transmission. A variable clutch mounted behind the e-motor manages engagement with the transmission to improve drivability and efficiency.

The all-new Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe carries a 400-volt, 17-kWh EV battery. The battery units and controls mount underneath the vehicle, packaged under the floor and protected by a series of skid plates.

The battery pack system includes a dedicated heating and cooling circuit to keep the battery at its optimum temperature for best performance. The system includes a dedicated heater unit and a chiller that uses the Grand Cherokee’s air-conditioning refrigerant to reduce coolant temperature when needed.

The Jeep® Grand Cherokee’s 4xe system also includes an Integrated Dual Charging Module (ICDM) that combines a battery charger and a DC/DC converter in a single, compact unit and a Power Inverter Module (PIM) that is reduced in size. These are mounted under the body and protected with steel shields.

All high-voltage electronics are sealed and waterproof. The Trail Rated Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe is capable of water fording up to 61 cm.

The charge port is beneath a push-open/push-close cover on the left front wing for convenient nose-in parking at charging locations. The charge port includes LED indicators of charging status. An LED battery level monitor sits on top of the instrument panel, making it easy to check battery state of charge at-a-glance during charging.

4xe E Selec Modes

With E Selec modes, the new Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe driver can tailor the hybrid powertrain to best suit each trip, whether it be commuting, off-roading or long-distance travel. The driver selects the desired powertrain mode via buttons mounted on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel:

• Hybrid: Blends torque from the electric motor and petrol engine. The powertrain will optimise battery and engine power to deliver the best combination of fuel efficiency and performance
• Electric: Operates on zero-emission electric power only until the battery reaches the minimum charge or the driver requests more torque (such as wide-open throttle), which engages the engine
• eSave: Prioritises the engine, saving the battery charge for later use. The driver can also choose between Battery Save and Battery Charge via the Hybrid Electric Pages in the Uconnect 5 monitor

Regardless of the mode selected, the all-new Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe operates as a hybrid once the battery nears its minimum state of charge.The driver information display and main touchscreen include Eco Coaching pages. The Eco Coaching pages let owners monitor power flow and see the impact of regenerative braking as well as view their driving history with a detail of electric and fuel usage.

Regenerative braking is part of the 4xe system. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the powertrain control engages the maximum available regenerative braking, up to 0.25 g, from the electric motors to slow the vehicle, augmented with the Jeep® Grand Cherokee’s traditional friction brakes.

With 4×4 engaged, all four wheels feed torque for regenerative braking, maximising the energy recovery. Electricity from regenerative braking is fed to the battery pack to maintain or increase the state of charge.

A driver-selectable Max Regen feature deploys a more assertive regenerative braking calibration when the vehicle sees zero throttle input from the driver (coasting). Max Regen can slow the Grand Cherokee 4xe faster than standard regenerative braking and generate more electricity for the battery pack.

Legendary Jeep 4×4 Capability

The all-new Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe delivers unrivaled capability along with composed on-road driving dynamics. That legendary off-road capability begins courtesy of two 4×4 systems – Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II with rear electronic limited slip-differential (eLSD). Both systems are equipped with an active transfer case to improve traction by moving torque to work with the wheel with the most grip.
