The
state-of-the-art Grand Cherokee is designed inside and out to deliver unmatched
capability and composed driving dynamics. Its renowned 4x4 systems (Quadra-Trac
I, Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II), Quadra-Lift air suspension and
Selec-Terrain traction management system instill Grand Cherokee with the Jeep
brand’s legendary 4x4 capability.
The
all-new architecture and sculpted aerodynamic body style combine to improve
vehicle performance, safety and reliability, while significantly reducing
vehicle weight, noise, vibration and harshness. Designed to maximize overall
passenger safety, comfort and convenience, Grand Cherokee packs a powerful
punch with next-generation features and technologies that make it a stand out
in the full-size SUV segment.
The
Grand Cherokee 4xe delivers 375 hp and 470
lb.-ft. of torque, besides offering Quadra Trac II 4x4 system with two-speed
transfer case and 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio and 47.4:1 crawl ratio and around
2,720 kg 4xe max towing 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.
Efficiency is enhanced via the use of electric power steering and an
electrically driven air conditioning compressor, removing those loads from the
engine.
The
conventional alternator is replaced with a high-voltage, liquid-cooled motor
generator unit. Connected to the engine crankshaft pulley via 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 is mounted in the transmission, replacing
the torque converter. Two clutches manage power and torque from the e-motor and
engine.
The
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe carries a 400-volt, 17-kWh EV battery. The battery
units and controls mount underneath the vehicle, packaged under the floor and
protected by a series of skid plates.
The
battery pack system includes a dedicated heating and cooling circuit to keep
the battery at its optimum temperature for best performance. The system
includes a dedicated heater unit and a chiller that uses the Grand Cherokee’s
air-conditioning refrigerant to reduce coolant temperature when needed.
The
Grand Cherokee’s 4xe system also includes an Integrated Dual Charging Module
(ICDM) that combines a battery charger and a DC/DC converter in a single,
compact unit and a Power Inverter Module (PIM) that is reduced in size. These
are mounted under the body and protected with steel shields.
All
high-voltage electronics are sealed and waterproof. The Trail Rated Jeep Grand
Cherokee 4xe is capable of water fording up to 24 inches (61 cm).
The
charge port is beneath a push-open/push-close cover on the left front fender
for convenient nose-in parking at charging locations. The charge port includes
LED indicators of charging status. An LED battery level monitor sits on top of
the instrument panel, making it easy to check battery state of charge
at-a-glance during charging.
