2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Newark DE

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or PHEV for short. PHEV systems are comprised of a gas engine, one or more electric motors, and a rechargeable battery pack. For the Grand Cherokee 4xe, this setup includes a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine, two electric motors, and a 400-volt lithium-ion battery pack. One of the electric motors replaces the alternator at the front of the engine while the second replaces the transmission's torque converter. This gives the Grand Cherokee 4xe 56 MPG gas equivalent, a combined driving range of 440 miles, and a 25-mile all-electric driving range. Additionally, drivers of the Grand Cherokee 4xe enjoy 375 horsepower and a remarkable 470 lb-ft of immediate torque. 4xe stands for 'four-by-electric', so Jeep equipped all 4xe models with a legendary 4x4 system. Quadra-Trac I is standard equipment, while Quadra-Trac II is optional. Quadra-Drive II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential is standard on the rugged Trailhawk trim for unparalleled off-road traction.

As you've probably put together, the Grand Cherokee 4xe's battery is recharged by being plugged into an EV charger. Upon purchase of their Grand Cherokee 4xe, all owners get a Level I EV charger. A Level I charger plugs into a household wall outlet and uses 120 volts to charge the Grand Cherokee 4xe from 0-100 percent in roughly twelve hours. However, 4xe owners can purchase the Level II charger to reduce the full charge time to as little as two hours. The Level II charger is a hardwired, professionally installed charging unit. Jeep partnered with QMerit to ensure proper installation of all Level II units for Jeep 4xe customers. Like most PHEVs, the Grand Cherokee 4xe also uses regenerative braking to maintain or increase the battery's state of charge. When you boil it down, regenerative braking essentially takes the kinetic energy from the friction between the brake pads and rotors, converts it into electrical energy, and sends it back to the battery pack. The Grand Cherokee 4xe offers a Max Regen feature, which is more aggressive with the regeneration calibration, beginning the regen process when the gas pedal is released and continuing it until the gas is pressed again, maximizing the brake regeneration charge.

To easily give drivers control over their Grand Cherokee 4xe's battery usage, Jeep invented the E-Selec buttons, allowing drivers to choose between Hybrid, Electric, and E-Save. Hybrid is the default setting using a mix of gas and electric power. Electric mode, which can be used when the battery has a minimum of 1% of charge left, shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine, turning it off and using only electric power for silent emissions-free driving. E-Save mode does the opposite, powering down the electric motors, stopping the flow of electricity, and operating solely on gas power, saving battery life and recharging through brake regeneration.

Along with a complete makeover, the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee brings electric power with the plug-in hybrid 4xe lineup!
