After all, in the United States, the starting price of this car is also 60,490 US dollars, about 438,300 yuan, but even so, in the face of today's domestic market, its competitiveness is still not strong.

Off-road is one of the most important labels of the Jeep brand, and the Grand Cherokee 4xe is powered by the Quadra-Trac (Drive) II The 4x4 system, equipped with an active two-speed transfer case, provides off-road 4-LOW low-speed four-wheel drive mode, can achieve 2.72 times the torque amplification function and 47.4:1 climbing ratio, standard air suspension, supports 106 mm 5-level height adjustment, maximum ground clearance 268 mm, maximum wading depth 610 mm, approach angle of 30.4 degrees, departure angle of 28.4 degrees, longitudinal passing angle of 21.2 degrees, the use of front double wishbone rear multi-link independent suspension and load-bearing body structure, which can be regarded as taking into account off-road performance and paved road driving comfort.
The appearance of the Grand Cherokee 4xe is still classic, the 7-hole grille has a high brand recognition, the side suspension roof and contrasting design enhance the sense of refinement and fashion, and it looks significantly larger and longer than the previous generation model, and the color matching is also more abundant, providing ink black, dark rock gray, twilight snow white, glacier silver, cinnabar red, deep sea blue, and distant mountain green 7 colors to choose from, much younger.

The configuration is unambiguous, the front seats support heating and ventilation functions, the second-row seats are electrically heated, and the standard 19-speaker McIntom audio is equipped with air suspension and L2 intelligent driving assistance.
In terms of product power alone, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is not bad, but even after the price reduction, it is still difficult to make achievements in the face of market competition, because from the perspective of off-road performance and price, the tank 700Hi4-T and Toyota Prado are stronger than it, from the perspective of new energy, the 47km range commuting is a bit chicken, and the cheaper equation Leopard Leopard 5 and tank 500Hi4-T have a longer battery life and can also be competent for most off-road scenarios. Coupled with the decline in brand power, the next road is still difficult.
