Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Shown, Specs to Come
As part of Stellantis’ EV Day, Jeep just unveiled the Grand Cherokee 4xe. Sort of.
It’s the automotive-launch equivalent of a harried journalist sending his editor a story marked “TK” — which in copy-editing lingo means “to come”.
For Jeep, it means that we can see the 4xe plug-in hybrid, unmasked, but know almost nothing else about it. All we get is images.
At least until August, when the full fifth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee line will be unveiled at the New York Auto Show (yes, it’s back, assuming current COVID trends hold steady/continue in a positive direction). We’ve already driven the three-row version, aptly named L.
Go ahead, feast your eyes on the images. We’ll bring you the rest of the details once we know them.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Assuming this will be the same powertrain as the Wrangler 4xe, but kind of hoping it will have a V6 like the Pacifica instead.. Either way, I'm biased against Jeeps because they tend to sacrifice good space utilization for off-road hardware I won't use, but I'd test-drive it.
Nice photo of a vehicle recharging at 10 mph or less. No shadows from the array = no sun.
