AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – The innovative 2023 Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid has been named the 2023 Green 4×4 of the Year by the leading industry publication Green Car Journal.
Electrified and more efficient propulsion systems play an important role in the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan that commits Stellantis to cut its global carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 and to lead the transportation industry by achieving net carbon zero by 2038.
The first Grand Cherokee to offer a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) variant, the Grand Cherokee 4xe signals the continued growth of the Jeep brand’s electrified mission of Zero Emission Freedom. The Grand Cherokee 4xe’s PHEV technology enhances the fun, freedom, and adventure that the Jeep brand is known for while providing unprecedented performance, fuel economy, and environmental friendliness.
“The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe does an exceptional job of meeting the needs of a wide range of buyers today,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com. “Its 2023 Green 4×4 of the Year® title is well earned, not only due to its considerable trail capabilities and ability to drive 25 miles on battery power alone, but also because of the sophisticated and satisfying driving experience it brings to the mission of navigating everyday life.”
Offering 25 miles of all-electric range and 56 MPGe, the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe features a PHEV system that combines a high-tech, 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with two electric motors, a high-voltage battery pack and a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. Total combined system output of 375 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque delivers 0-60 mph in six seconds and max towing of 6,000 lbs.
Leading the segment in 4×4 capability, the Grand Cherokee 4xe comes standard with a two-speed transfer case, 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio and 47.4:1 crawl ratio.
