Master Horn learned from overseas sources that Stellantis (Chinese tentative translation: Strantis) announced the first pure electric model of the Jeep family at a recent demonstration and outlined some of the Jeep brand's electric vehicle plans for the next decade.
Positioned as a small SUV, the Jeep electric concept is expected to launch in the first half of 2023. Unfortunately, the information point is not particularly short, and only two teaser pictures are released. Look at its shape and Jeep Liberty somewhat similar, although positioned as a small SUV, but the actual size may be smaller. In addition, Alfa Romeo and Fiat will also launch their brother models.
Jeep, Alfa Romeo and Fiat will share the CMP platform developed by Stellantis, which is not an electric-only architecture and will still launch an internal combustion engine model. Therefore, whether it is oil to electricity, everyone knows it. The CMP platform architecture mainly produces small cars, and the DS 3 Crossback and Opel Lookka are currently born on the platform.
The Jeep brand attaches great importance to the road of transformation and electrification, and even spares no effort to create its own brand's exclusive charging station. Meanwhile, Jeep announced last summer that it would launch its first hardcore off-road vehicle in 2025, and the pure electric Wrangler to market wouldn't be too far away.
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid version was just released last year, and according to the official, the car is currently quite a best seller in the United States. The company also said that it will also launch a plug-in hybrid version of the Grand Cherokee and other models in the future, and promised to convert all of its models to new energy vehicles by 2025.
Stellantis then said that Jeep's follow-up products will be equipped with a complete battery power unit, rather than creating a zero-emission model, that is, after 2025, Jeep brand models will include plug-in hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell models and so on.
Jeep is currently reluctant to disclose information about the battery power system, but it is certain that most of the pure electric models are from the Exclusive Pure Electric Platform of Stellantis, which is part of the Group's $36 billion plan to build a pure electric product, including four platforms, namely STLA Small, STLA Medium, STLA Large and STLA Frame, with ranges ranging from 300 miles to 500 miles.
Stellantis officially announced that by 2030, the group will launch at least 75 electric vehicles, of which the electric RAM 1500 pickup will be available in 2024.
