In recent years, with the rise of domestic cars, the market share of joint venture cars has gradually been eroded, but the Grand Cherokee 4xe is still very ambitious.
Test drive the all-new Grand Cherokee 4XE.
The front of the car is still boxy and majestic, and the new design details are more refined and sporty, and it is clear that this tough guy is more trendy. Jeep's signature seven-hole grille has been widened and enlarged, with dot matrix details added to the interior.
The three-section lower bracket is sportier and larger, with LED daytime running lights embedded in the cutouts on both sides. It is worth mentioning that the new Grand Cherokee 4xe has a 50mm lower center of gravity and a 36mm wider track, and a new wider design for a more robust visual experience.
The sides are still stiff, and the body size has been improved compared to the old model. Length, width and height are 4906*1979*1812mm, wheelbase 2964mm. The charging port for the 4xe plug-in hybrid system is located on the left front fender. The most innovative thing on the side is the glossy black roof, which is more luxurious and fashionable, and the temperament comes up at once.
The pinnacle model has 21-inch wheels and has a cool styling. Peak Edition 275/45R21, Far Peak Edition 265/50R20. Goodyear Eagle Chi F1 Asymmetric 5 luxury sports tires, precise handling and sensitive braking.
The rear of the car is a simple and capable style, and the slender and flat taillights are more trendy, and the sense of refinement has been significantly improved. The simple and heavy surround is matched with two large-sized exhausts, and the tough guy temperament is just right without being exaggerated.
Authentic American luxury.
The interior layout is also more trendy, there is a Jeep idea between the stable and the trendy, and the three screens plus the HUD head-up display are also very technological.
Large-area leather wrapping + double diamond-shaped lattice sewing, wood grain panel embellishment, is still straightforward American luxury. The steering wheel is wrapped in leather and is electrically adjustable, as well as heated steering wheel and steering wheel memory.
The full LCD meter is 10 inches and displays a wealth of information. The Pinnacle is equipped with a night vision system, which allows you to better see obstacles and creatures in front of you in extreme environments. The central control screen is also 10 inches, the system is quite functional, and it supports Apple CarPlay, but it is almost meaningless in terms of connected entertainment.
The 10-inch passenger screen is configured for the peak version, but there is no online audio and video entertainment, it is more like an expansion screen, and the practicality is discounted. Mclntosh 19-speaker hi-fi audio system, with a total power of up to 950 watts, is really good for the old brand of audio.
In the air conditioning area above and below the central control screen, a large number of physical buttons are retained, which is convenient to operate. The knob shift mechanism and driving modes on both sides, air suspension adjustment, exquisite shape, and simple operation.
Large space for American cars.
In addition to being luxurious and comfortable, the seat shape also has better wrapping, which can better "hug" you when off-road. The front seats are electrically adjustable for ventilation, heating and memory, and the Pinnacle also features a more premium semi-aniline perforated leather, as well as a front massage function and passenger seat memory.
The texture of the rear seats is still excellent, and the seat cushions are wide. It also has heated seats, and the pinnacle also has ventilated rear seats. The rear seat backs can be adjusted at an angle, and the adjustment range is large.
The Yuanfeng version is a dual-zone air conditioner, and the peak version is a four-zone air conditioner, and the various power interfaces below are very rich. As a hard-core four-wheel drive model, it is inevitable that the rear center platform has a certain protrusion.
There is no need to worry about the trunk space at this level, it is wide and neat, and the power interface, hook, and anchor point are fully equipped.
The road is cool enough, and the off-road is strong enough.
The 4xe plug-in hybrid system is significantly more vigorous, the power output is strong enough, and it is more delicate, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is officially 6 seconds, which is obviously strong enough. The hybrid system provides three modes: HYBRID, ELECTRIC, and e-SAVE, that is, hybrid, pure electric, and electrified modes.
In terms of cruising energy consumption, the all-electric range is 47km in WLTC mode, 4.35L/100km in comprehensive mode, and 9.5L/100km in low power mode.
The steering force is moderate, the feel is tight and the response of the head car is sensitive, it is really vigorous, and the front double wishbone rear multi-link independent suspension with air suspension is very solid.
The fun of Jeep also has to be off-road, light rain, muddy and slippery mountain roads, so the off-road vehicles have been replaced with off-road tires. The air suspension offers five levels of height adjustment. The Selec-Terrain traffic mode also offers 5 modes. Standard on the Grand Cherokee 4xe. The active two-speed transfer case has an off-road 4-LOW low-speed four-wheel drive mode, providing 2.72 times the torque amplification and a climbing ratio of 47.4:1.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe has a maximum wading depth of 610mm.
The off-road assistance configuration is also very practical, such as the front and rear off-road cameras, the central control screen can view the image and real-time pitch and roll angle, etc., in addition, the passenger screen also plays a role, and the co-pilot can help command.
Jeep's wild genes are still the biggest charm, even if the Grand Cherokee 4xe is more trendy and luxurious, even if it plays with electricity, but the heart of conquering distant places will not change.
