2023 Hornet, the new Dodge electric

What do 2023 Jeep SUVs have in store for us?

Jeep is one of the 15 brands that is part of the Stellantis group, a multinational automobile company. Stellantis was born from the merging of the French Peugeot-Citroën group with the Italian-American manufacturer Fiat-Chrysler. Now in 2023, several brands under the American Chrysler banner –including Jeep- are focusing on electric powertrains. Here is a sneak peek at 2023 Jeep hybrid SUV models.

We invite you to take a look at all of the 2023 Jeep SUV models available at Chaput Automobile, your Jeep dealership in Varennes.

The 2023 Wrangler 4xe

Wrangler got the ball rolling for all-new Jeep hybrid models with the 2020 Wrangler 4xe. Contrary to what most Wrangler aficionados were expecting (or rather –fearing), the plug-in hybrid version actually proved to be more powerful than the fuel version!

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe was loyal to its true nature: even though it turned electric, it actually offered even more performance, allowing fans to conquer natural environments with the perfect dose of adrenaline! With a 35 km electric range when in full electric –zero emission- mode, and a total autonomy of 592 km, the 2023 Wrangler has truly proven its capacities to take you on any adventure you could dream of!

2023 Wrangler 4xe: Technical Specifications and Features

Electric, powerful, fun and loaded with technologies, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is Trail Rated certified. This certification was established by the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) and Jeep Engineering. It certifies that the 2023 Wrangler has proven successful in 5 different categories: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording.

The Wrangler 4xe exterior

The 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe would not be a true Wrangler without the choice between the 3 removable roofs that allow you to take full advantage of a true outdoor experience:

• The Sunrider soft top, easy to remove;
• The removable Freedom Top hard top;
• The Sky One Touch power top.

Moreover, the Wrangler 4xe offers half doors with ice sill guards. These half doors will give you better visibility and improve the occupants’ safety during off-road maneuvers.

The 2023 Wrangler Sahara 4xe comes standard with LED headlights, fog lights, taillights and daylights as well as blue towing hooks at the front and rear.

On top of a 10.9- inch (27 cm) ground clearance, the 2023 Wrangler Rubicon 4xe is equipped with 33- inch all-terrain tires while the 2023 Wrangler High Altitude 4xe has fender flares in the same color as the body. The monochrome version of the High Altitude 4xe will give you the possibility of opting for bumpers, exterior mirrors, door handles and a hard top in the same colors as the body as well.

The hybrid powertrain

The 4xe hybrid powertrain combines:

• A turbocharged 2.0 L inline 4- cylinder VHR engine
• A 17 kWh lithium-ion battery block
• Regenerative braking
• An 8- speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission
• 4x4 Jeep drivetrain

The 2023 Wrangler hybrid 4xe powertrain provides you with 375 horsepower, a 470 lb-ft. maximum torque and a 3,500 pound (1,588 kg) towing capacity.

Charging Times and Fuel Consumption

When plugged into a level II (240 V) charging station, you can charge your 2023 Wrangler 4xe’s battery in 2 hrs. With a level I charger, you will need 12 hours to reach full charge.

Fuel consumption numbers for the electric Wrangler are as low as 4.8 L/100 km for city/highway combined.

Let’s keep in mind, however, that real fuel consumption numbers will likely be higher than 4.8 L/100 km. In fact, energy efficiency varies greatly depending on where you are driving to, the type of road surface you’ll be driving on and the way you are using your vehicle. This means that vivid accelerations, the necessary torque used for off-road driving and high speeds will have an influence over –and increase- the amount of energy being used. Electric range will also depend on your driving style as well as on your usage of air-conditioning, heating, headlights and taillights, and so on.

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

Amongst the newest 2023 Jeep, the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe makes the brand proud, and shows us what to expect over the next few years when it comes to Jeep hybrids.

Refinement and comfort

This plug-in hybrid SUV stands out thanks to its refined interior that lavishes its 5- occupants in luxury with genuine wood trims, high-quality quilted leather and a streamlined dashboard.

As an option, the driver and passenger can opt for comfortable 16- way power seats. These seats integrate a massage function as well. The Overland, Summit and Summit Reserve trim levels also have a LED ambient lighting system with a choice between 5 colors.

Uconnect5

Amongst the numerous features and technologies found aboard the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe, let’s mention the newest generation of the Uconnect5 infotainment system. Quicker than the previous generation, the Uconnect5 will provide you with, amongst other things:

• The possibility of saving up to 5 different user profiles (music, seat and mirror positions, temperature, vehicle’s operating parameters)
• Simultaneous connection of two wireless devices
• A 10.1- inch (25.7- cm) screen
• GPS navigation
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity
• Speak Easy voice recognition
• Alexa voice commands to lock/unlock doors, start the vehicle, get weather reports, traffic reports, and more.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe hybrid powertrain

The Jeep’s hybrid powertrain combines:

• 2 electric motors
• A 400 V and 17 kWh lithium-ion battery
• A turbocharged 2.0 L inline 4- cylinder engine
• An 8- speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission
• 4x4 Quadra-Trac II drivetrain

The powertrain provides you with 375 horsepower, 470 lb-ft. maximum torque and 6,000- pounds (2,721 kg) maximum towing capacity. The 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe has a 42 km 100 % electric range and 761 km total autonomy.

Let’s not forget that the 2023 Grand Cherokee is a luxury SUV, which puts its price into perspective. Base price for the entry-level model is set at $ 75,630 and the price for the Summit Reserve –the high-end model- is $ 89,290. To these amounts, you will have to add prices for options and packages. Even though these outstanding vehicles are not affordable for everyone, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe still remains a luxury hybrid SUV that sells at a very competitive price.

Jeep SUVs to come

Several Jeep hybrid and electric vehicles are part of the SUVs that the Stellantis group are planning on launching on the North-American market over the course of the next few years. We are indeed awaiting the arrival of the very first 100 % electric Jeep by 2024. Stellantis has also announced the arrival of an electric Dodge sports car, an electric RAM truck and the Chrysler AirFlow SUV, as well as an all-new subcompact Jeep that will be smaller than the Renegade.
