2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Xe Review | Electric Jeep Explained
In this 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Xe review, we’ll take a look at how the iconic SUV-maker has aimed its fanciest ride at many different sorts of buyers. To be clear, the 4xe is first and foremost a plug-in hybrid with great fuel economy.
As a base 4xe, it’s a good deal for those who want a hybrid without compromising on performance. As a 4xe Trailhawk, the SUV is ready for the trail. Then there are the Limited and Summit 4xe models which are luxury liners.
Clearly, the brand engineers were tasked with delivering serious electric performance worthy enough for this nameplate. Adding to their task, this capability must be accomplished on both the road and the trail. Have they met these high standards? Keep scrolling to get the details on this new electric Jeep.
Serious Performance for the Road and Trail
The capability starts with 375 horsepower from a plug in hybrid engine. That’s considerably more power than the 290-horsepower base engine, which could never be called a slouch. In addition, it’s some 25 horsepower more than the capable 5.7-liter Hemi V8.
Even better, the 4xe kicks out 470 lb-ft of torque. This high level of capability ensures that this is a midsize SUV that can rule the road as much as it will rule the trail. Plus, it has the brute strength to tow some 6,000 pounds.
Jeep makes sure that the driver can choose when to use the electric boost. That way you can utilize it for your morning commute. Yet, on the weekend, you might use it on the trail, enjoying zero emissions and a very quiet operation for trail use.
Underneath the 4xe’s handsome exterior, there’s a new build. This architecture actually reduces the overall weight while increasing its strength for use in adventures. Extensive measures were taken to block out noise and vibrations.
4xe Powertrain Explained
This plug-in hybrid powertrain combines an effective gas-powered engine with electric motors. Unlike a traditional hybrid, plug in hybrids add much of their battery power through charging. This provides an all electric range of about 25 miles for this premium midsize SUV.
Overall, the mpg-equivalent is 56 miles per gallon, which is awesome fuel economy for an off-roading champion. The total driving range is 470 miles, and there are driving modes to help you choose a thrifty response over performance, when it suits you.
ESave mode works with you to save the battery charge for its best use. In normal driving, the electric mode kicks in when the power demand is low. This can be easily switched to increase the battery charge for more electric power later.
Hybrid mode utilizes the whole powertrain, including the 2.0L DOHC DI Turbo I4 and electric motors. This allows it to achieve maximum horsepower and maximum torque for the best driving experience. This hybrid-only mode earns 23 miles per gallon.
Max Regeneration Features
Like traditional hybrids, the battery pack actually recharges itself to some degree. This is done by capturing energy during braking. Jeep has refined this idea with its Max Regeneration feature.
First, it makes sure that drivers have the ability to control the level of regenerative braking. You can turn it off when you want to go for top performance on the open road.
Next, it responds with aggressive energy capture when slowing without actually using the brakes. Low pedal positions, such as those used on the trail, are using the brakes to slow even if the driver is simply lifting a foot from the acceleration. This ensures regeneration at trail speeds despite the fact the brake is only used for a complete stop.
Battery Charging is Easy
With a simple household plug, the standard charger allows owners to recharge the battery overnight in about 12 hours. Stepping up to the available Level II 240 v charger, the same charge can be achieved in just 2 hours.
You’ll find more and more charging stations across the country including some at key trailheads. Plus, Jeep makes it possible to utilize pure electric power at your convenience rather than let the system decide for itself. This helps you control when and how it is utilized.
Trailhawk and Off-roading Features
Ready for fun, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Trailhawk can provide up to 10.9 inches of ground clearance. This is due to the Quadra-Lift suspension which alters the height to match circumstances. For example, you can alter the height for highway driving, trail riding, and easier entry and exit. The 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe ride quality is smoothed with this smart air suspension set-up.
As a four-wheel drive Grand Cherokee, naturally it has Selec-Terrain modes. These include mud-sand and rock as well as sport and snow. This means you’ve got assistance on all types of unpaved surfaces when driving this hybrid midsize SUV.
Limited and Summit Trim Levels
The 4xe powertrain is available on three trims in addition to the Trailhawk. The base model has extensive dash tech and illuminated cupholders. It includes the comfort features that make owning a new car such a pleasure.
Stepping closer to a true luxury liner, the Grand Cherokee Limited wears Capri leather upholstery that is accented by suede inserts. Ambient lighting and a premium audio system are among its fancy features. Passengers will appreciate active noise cancellation. Drivers will enjoy having a power liftgate.
With the Summit, every material is high quality and well-integrated into the whole. This luxury liner starts with Berber floor mats that are good looking-and long-lasting. Then the bolstered seats are covered in Nappa leather with special quilting. Detailing includes real wood accents. Illuminated door sills are just another example of Jeep’s attention to ambient light details.
There’s a more complete second-row with its own charging station. Rear seat passengers will appreciate their own armrest and illuminated cup holders to match the front row. Utility is emphasized with a roof rack for extra gear.
Upgraded Safety Systems
Marking the new model year, the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe is rich with new or improved safety features. This driver assistance can help you avoid the type of situations that lead to all sorts of crashes and fender-benders. Every time you avoid a collision, that’s a good day.
Full-speed collision warnings, pedestrian watches, cyclist detection, and rear cross path detection can all trigger active braking. ParkSense can take care of the whole parking process. A 360-degree camera system shows every obstacle in real time. Plus, Jeep developed night vision cameras that can detect an animal or person in the path of the Grand Cherokee 4xe.
Infotainment Technologies
Starting big, the Grand Cherokee 4xe claims an excellent touchscreen measuring 8.4 inches. This larger, easy-to-read screen can show you maps via your smartphone and Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Plus you can enjoy extensive music choices via SiriusXM satellite subscriptions.
With a WiFi subscription, everyone can utilize the web via their smart devices. You can enjoy the help of Amazon Alexa as a virtual assistant. Many trims have a wireless charger to make it easy to maintain your smartphone’s readiness.
A new 10-inch windshield display uses full color to show speed, directions and other information right at your eye level. Then there’s the digital rearview mirror which uses a camera to show what’s happening in real time.
No one has ever known a Grand Cherokee quite like the 4xe. That’s why it’s fun to be first in line to test drive. You’ll also find other unique choices such as the Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve. Check out our inventory then pay us a visit to see how this ride suits you.
