Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe offered in four-wheel drive?
The class-exclusive PHEV powertrain in the all-new Grand Cherokee 4xe is both pure innovation and pure power. While it sounds different in nearly silent all-electric operation, the performance undeniably improves upon the legendary abilities of Grand Cherokee. Overall, the 4xe system delivers 375 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. All while providing an estimated 25 miles of all-electric range, returns an estimated 57 MPGe, and has an estimated total capacity of more than 440 miles. In addition, the 4xe is more than capable with a 6,000-lbs max towing capability, and the Quadra Trac II four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case. This 4x4 system offers a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio 47.4:1 crawl ratio.
What size battery comes in the Grand Cherokee 4xe?
The Grand Cherokee 4xe’s propulsion system combines two electric motors, a 400-volt battery pack, 2.0-liter turbocharged, four-cylinder engine, and TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission for maximum efficiency and capability. The fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine is part of Stellantis’s Global Medium Engine family. The high-tech, direct-injection engine uses a twin-scroll, low-inertia turbocharger mounted directly to the cylinder head.
Does the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe have a torque converter?
Jeep took it one step further by using an electric power steering and an electrically driven air conditioning compressor, removing those loads from the engine. The conventional alternator has been replaced with a high-voltage, liquid-cooled motor-generator unit. This unit is connected to the engine’s crankshaft pulley through a belt. The motor-generator spins the engine for nearly seamless, fuel-saving, start-stop operation and generates electricity for the battery pack. A larger high-voltage motor-generator has replaced the traditional torque converter is mounted in the transmission.
Is the Grand Cherokee 4xe waterproof?
The battery in the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is a 400-volt, 17-kWh EV battery. The battery pack system includes a dedicated heating and cooling circuit to allow the battery to run at optimum temperature for the best performance. All high-voltage electronics are sealed and waterproof allowing the Grand Cherokee 4xe to trail in up to 24 inches of water. The battery units and controls are mounted underneath the vehicle and protected by a series of skid plates.
What are E Selec Drive modes?
With E Selec Drive modes, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe driver can tailor the hybrid powertrain to suit each trip, whether commuting, off-roading, or long-distance travel. With the push of a button, the driver can select from Hybrid mode, Electric mode, or eSave mode. When placed in Hybrid, the 4xe integrates torque from the electric motor and gas engine, optimizing battery and engine power to deliver the best combination of fuel efficiency and performance. Electric mode allows the vehicle to operate on zero-emission electric power until the battery reaches the minimum charge or the driver requests more torque, which engages the engine. If you decide to work in eSave mode, the 4xe will first use engine power and save the battery charge for later use.
