At the 2022 New York Auto Show, which opened yesterday, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe High Altitude Special Edition model was officially unveiled. The biggest highlight of the new car is the plug-in hybrid system equipped with a 2.0T engine and two motors, which is basically the same as the Wrangler 4xe version that has been listed in China, and can be seen as the grand Cherokee version of the powertrain.
In addition to the changes in the powertrain, the new car also has its own blue livery and uses a blackening treatment at the rim and roof, which is closer to the traditional two-color body design. In addition, the typical large rim of an American SUV has not fallen, and the 21-inch spoke rim also shows a hint of movement on the Grand Cherokee.
However, although it uses the same powertrain as the domestically listed Wrangler 4xe, it is uncertain whether the Grand Cherokee 4xe has a smaller battery capacity, and the nominal pure electric endurance of this car is only 40km, while the Wrangler 4xe has reached 51km, which is in line with the preferential policies of the domestic green card and the purchase tax reduction.
Judging from the feedback from previous owners, the Wrangler's 4xe 51km endurance has an actual cruising range of about 30km in winter, while this Grand Cherokee 4xe pure electric endurance should be less than 20km.
In fact, Jeep's action this year is far more than the "4xe" insertion and mixing system to promote every car under its own, at the 56th Easter Jeep Safari off-road conference a few days ago, Jeep officially announced 7 newly created concept off-road vehicles, such as jeep 41 concept car, this car is based on the Wrangler 4xe built, is to pay tribute to willis and other classic off-road vehicles and designed, the whole car uses a very retro matte green paint, With retro-style decorative covers and roofs, the military atmosphere is very strong and is my favorite concept model at this off-road conference.
The other Wrangler Magneto 2.0 concept car is a pure electric Wrangler, through the exclusive research and development of the axial flux motor, this pure electric Wrangler reached 634 horsepower, and the peak torque exceeded the 1000 mark to 1152 Nm. The entire body is arranged with four battery packs with a total capacity of 70 degrees and an 800V voltage system.
The Jeep Gladiator D-Coder is a Wrangler pickup truck model that uses 35 cherry red colored spare parts compared to the average gladiator, including wheel hubs, front bars, and high air intakes.
I have to say that Jeep did play a hundred tricks of the Wrangler, and the off-road culture of the United States does have a unique advantage, but with the independence of the tank brand, the hot sales of tank 300, 500 and other models, the domestic off-road culture is becoming more and more mature, forming a cross-country culture that belongs to China, this time should not be too long.
