The automaker Jeep is quickly moving the hybrid part of the SUV business to the point that drivers can expect a full-size ride with top-tier power and comfort. Designed with high trims that compete with top foreign luxury SUVs, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is a feature-rich ride that also offers excellent towing capacity. Take the time to get to know the new Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, and you'll want to own it.
Hybrid Performance Reaches New Heights
The hybrid powertrain in the Grand Cherokee 4xe will stun anyone who hasn't checked in on the state of Jeep vehicle engineering in a while. Yes, the Grand Cherokee 4xe easily has the power needed to motivate a full-size SUV with a trailer down the road. The 4xe even produces more peak horsepower than the gas-only version, the Grand Cherokee. It maxes out at 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
One of the more intriguing aspects of a hybrid powertrain is its ability to direct power to the wheels almost immediately. There is no need to wind up the powertrain like you would with a traditional engine. Consequently, you will get to the peak torque very quickly. If you're attempting to merge with traffic with a fully loaded vehicle and a loaded trailer, that kind of acceleration makes a difference when driving around North Kingstown.
Incredible Fuel Efficiency
Notably, you won't expect the extreme fuel economy that's often associated with smaller hybrids. It is a big SUV, and that means you're looking at a top fuel economy of about 23 mpg city and 24 mpg highway in hybrid mode. Anyone who has ever owned a full-size SUV will tell you that's an excellent number for the class, though.
With a plug-in charging system and the ability to operate in all-electric mode, you can get some killer numbers over a 26-mile range, though. As an all-electric vehicle, the Grand Cherokee 4xe hits 57 mpge city and 56 mpge highway. Even if you can't fit your daily drive into the electric-only range, it will take the pain of gas prices out of your commute around Rhode Island.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe is a legitimate four-wheel drive. With 10.5 inches of ground clearance in the base trim, the 4xe also is a superb off-road SUV. There is also a Trailhawk trim that offers 10.9 inches of ground clearance and a 35.7-degree approach angle to minimize the risk of hitting rocks when off-roading around Providence. The Trailhawk also has skid plates to maximize underside protection in case you can't avoid a boulder.
A Luxurious SUV
Even the lowest trim for the Grand Cherokee 4xe has leatherette upholstery, and the top trims include leather. Comfort and style are in vogue with the Grand Cherokee 4xe. The SUV offers two seating rows and room for up to five people. With a 116-inch wheelbase, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is about as roomy as any SUV comes. It also includes 37.7 cubic feet of rear cargo room, so you'll always have space for lots of stuff.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe is also available with desirable features like aluminum wheels, chrome exterior trim and a panoramic sunroof. Even the base trim includes an Alpine audio system, navigation, and an adaptive cruise control that operates at full speed. You can even get a version with oak interior trim. Automated parking assistance is also an option.
