The Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe are beloved SUVs by adventure enthusiasts around North Kingstown. While they share the iconic Jeep Grand Cherokee name and several design elements, each offers distinct features that cater to the varying preferences of Providence area car buyers.
Paul Bailey's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is here to walk you through some key similarities and differences between the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe.
Reliable Performance
Jeep Grand Cherokee models are popular with Rhode Island drivers for off-road prowess and powerful engines that range from a V6 engine that makes 293 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, a V8 delivering 357 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, and a hybrid making 375 horsepower, 470 pound-feet of torque. Its impressive 7,200-pound towing capacity and the renowned Quadra-Trac four-wheel driveline ensure it can easily tackle even the toughest terrain.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model offers rivaling power from a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that delivers 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of instant torque and mates with a four-wheel drive. It has a slightly lower towing capacity than its gas-powered sibling, but at 6,000 pounds, but you won't sacrifice capability for sustainability.
Both models provide decent fuel efficiency, but where the PHEV model shines is its 25-mile all-electric range.
Beautiful and Athletic Design
At first sight, Warwick customers will notice that the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe have beautifully rugged exteriors featuring the signature seven-slot grille. LED headlamps and taillamps enhance visibility and provide a modern touch to their classic design. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe subtly differentiates itself with exclusive, blue-accented badging, signaling its eco-friendly powertrain.
The interiors offer sophisticated comfort and functionality, with plush seating for five and ample space for cargo. They also have the latest connectivity and convenience technologies, with additional displays and controls in the PHEV model.
Off-Roading Abilities
Both models offer similar off-roading features, like the Selec-Terrain traction control system and available Quadra-Lift air suspension for driver confidence and control when navigating challenging terrain.
Still, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe has a unique edge, thanks to its electric motor delivering instant torque for smooth and precise control during rock crawling and other technical maneuvers around Cranston.
