The 2022 North American Consumer Electronics Show (CES) opened as scheduled on January 5, and jeep brand's new Magneto concept car debuted at the show. The new car is based on the Wrangler Rubicon two-door version, and the most unique thing is that it is still equipped with a manual transmission with pure electric drive.
In terms of appearance, although the powertrain of the Jeep Magneto concept has changed, its appearance still looks very wild. The front face is still the familiar combination of seven-hole grille and round headlights, and the hood also retains heat dissipation. Only the frame is retained on the side and top of the body, and the blue frame can highlight the characteristics of new energy models. The charging port is set above the left wheel brow of the vehicle, and the Jeep New Energy 4Xe nameplate is embedded in the side and rear of the body.
In terms of interior, the new car continues the interior design of the two-door version of the Wrangler Rubicon, with blue trim on the center console and blue leather on the seat, highlighting the identity of the new energy model.
In terms of power, the new car's powertrain can output a maximum power of 289 horsepower and a peak torque of 370 Nm. The official 0-100km/h acceleration performance is 6.8s, and the drivetrain matches the 6-speed manual transmission.
Answer comment: As a pure electric version of the Wrangler, the wheel end torque of the new car is stronger than that of the fuel version of the Wrangler, and the off-road performance and ability to get rid of difficulties have been raised to a new level. The new car is uniquely mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, which is rare among electric models. Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, explained that a new car that matches a manual transmission also has the convenience of an automatic transmission, while meeting the needs of off-road enthusiasts for manual transmissions, and the driving pleasure will not be reduced by electric drives.
