Jeep obviously makes very capable off-road vehicles, but I just can’t get past their reliability issues no matter who the current owner of the name plate is. Great review. I’ve tried other vehicle review channels but yours is by far the most professional, comprehensive and well videographed of any I’ve seen.

I wish Jeep would bring back the gas-engine Trailhawk. The 4xe is cool but it's priced almost double what I'd expect to have to pay for a GC. It's probably the only reason I don't own one right now. Very interested in this review thanks.

I got my 4xe overland for slightly over 61 before tax and ev rebate. I agree with you that the only downside is the low ev range. Always enjoyed your show. Thank you!

Great review of the Jeep. I enjoy your honest review of the different features. Looking forward to another vehicle review. Have fun on the gravel roads.

i like how he refers to the vehicles alarms and configuration limitations at complaints. this is a true car enthusiast point of view.

I really enjoy seeing things come and go with vehicles. Auto makers always try new stuff. Some of it doesn't work, but some of it stays permanent. Piano black is going to run its course. There was also a very short era of having screens without volume knobs.

Conquest Overland will LOVE this.

Thank you for really nice reviews. Love this new look grand Cherokee 👍😀

Ryan, great review. You possess very thorough knowledge and you deliver your narratives very clearly and with good methodology. This is the first review of yours I've seen. Thank you. I'm in the market for a new car (SUV) and am trending toward this Jeep. Thanks again, Ryan.

Somehow I haven't been a viewer of this channel. Glad I found you. A new sub for sure! Thoughtful, logical, pragmatic believable. The world needs 2 Alex on Auto type channels. As for the GC 4xe. I like the GC and the GC 4xe. Off road ability of Jeep with a luxurious interior that Stelantis has leaned in to. What would stop me from buying it? Complexity. From a brand that still has to build trust to get the simple things right... Combining a two-speed transfer case with adaptive suspension AND a plug-in hybrid system on a non-Toyota product. No. I pause at a standard GC much less a plug in hybrid.

I think you should consider putting more numbers as text on screen. Especially because you are an off road oriented channel, I would appreciate a slide at the beginning of the drive section stating approach, departure, breakover, and max and min ground clearance (for air suspensions).

I love the look and the interior of this generation of Grand Cherokee. I am going to hold off buying a Jeep right now since a co-worker purchased a Wrangler 4xe a year and a half ago with nothing but problems. They have already replaced the transmission, replaced the hardtop due to manufacturing defects, and has had numerous engine stall issues. Seems like every other week he is driving a loaner or rental because his Wrangler is in the shop. If Jeep can get it’s reliability up I would love to have a Grand Cherokee in my garage.

The PHEV aspect is very much on a case-by-case basis. We can charge regularly and do most of our errands/commuting within electric range (round trip) and have been able to hit 950 miles between needing to fill up on gas. We also lucked out with a bunch of free L2 chargers around our area that aren't ICEd often or at all. Potential buyers also need to keep in mind what their cost per kWh is vs. what the price per gallon of fuel is if they are more concerned about the cost of running one of these. As for the passenger screen, it came standard on our Base trim, and we have used it maybe a handful of times. It could be used if you are offroading with a passenger, and they can view the cameras on that screen at any speed. We have also used the TomTom nav, and the passenger can look up destinations on the fly and send them over to the main screen. The HDMI port does allow you to hook up any number of FIRESTICKS or equivalent, but then you are at the mercy of a data plan and connection. It stays off most of the time.

I Don’t know why manufacturers put piano black on dashboard or center shift console because the glare from the sun it’s too bright so it’s very annoying in and a dust magnet.

Love the vids ,, keep em coming. When are you gonna review a Cherokee Trailhawk off road ????

I love your intro !! 75k oof pretty penny . I guess you could do decent off roading but idk 75k is lot

I know you did your Frontier vs Taco video... But I'd love to see you do a regular video with the Frontier on your test hill

I already have one, not the XE though, but thanks for showing the can you sleep in it part. I think someone up to 6 foot tall can sleep in the back if your aren't sleeping like a corpse. The width inside is about 40" between the wheel humps. A Toyota 4 Runner has about 4 inches less of laying down room if you wanted to sleep in it, so I didn't get a 4 Runner. I didn't want a L version, I imagine you get another 3-4 inches in those.

That 🐓 at 2:16 😂

plate tectonics OMG 😂✅🏆

This looks nice from every angle except the front grill.

Good review, but I'd like to see this on the DC off-road course. I seriously looked at one of these along with the Kia Sportage PHEV. The problem with both of these is that the price to MPG ratio is ridiculous - you pay a premium and there is literally no advantage. The Kia is a little better in terms of MPG, but it's also $50k+ for a very plastic interior. The Jeep is just way too much, you might as well buy a Range Rover or something German with similar MPG (or a Lexus GX if you want to come back from your off-road adventures...). It's not really a question of saving $ on gas - you'll never come out ahead, just forget that, but MPG has a huge impact on range, which is a big deal if you spend any amount of time in the bush. Like I've said on other videos, I bought a used Jag F-Pace diesel which gets mid-30's on the highway ~500 miles of range and has all the Land Rover off-road electronics & suspension. With the leftover $$$, I bought a BMW i3 with the range extender generator ~75 miles on electric & ~75 miles on the generator. Best of both worlds, these two replaced a Volvo wagon (loved it but terrible gas mileage) and a VW GTi.

Get the Limited - it’s the best bang for your buck

Thanks for the unicorn and rainbows comment because I laughed so hard I spit coffee out all over. Lol!!

If you’re really nice to the people at the dealership, they will let you use the seat massagers during the long hours it’s in the shop.

Actually the problem of range is not so much the battery, but the efficiency of the electric propulsion. Its uses 50% more energy the a BMW X5 50e when running in EV mode.

Nice review, think i`ll wait for a SRT8-E version with a 100kW battery and a 6.4L V8 !

Hay i live in israel and i orderd a 2023 land cruiser Prado. Was that a good idea?

Nice review as always👏. Can you please review Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2023 and go over its offroad capabilities🙏?

All this travel to test the car on a steep climb of a few meters??? I preferred the rocky route you used to test the cars on. That was really challenging. I'm a bit disanointed by the lack of actual off-road action, but an honest, comprehensive review nonetheless.

Fun and comfortable a lot for an automotive journalist to like about this car.

Time guarantee of the batteries? Like you r vídeos Ralph

What is a music name in first 23 seconds?

When will the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe review come?

I want to be powered by unicorns and rainbows, too. 😂

It disturbs me that the Grand Cherokees rear seat is still so bad, it's basically inexcusable for the cost. I sat in one at my local auto show back when the WK2 was current, the back seat in the 1st gen Compass facelift was world's more comfortable.

I am going to buy one i would however love by the time i do aquire one i will be able to use this Jeep as a generator to run my home or shop. I live in South Africa we do not always have electricity and water.. perhaps a solar panel on roof as extra

video start in my Town, Verona, Italy

Should of been a normal hybrid than plug in like you mentioned

If I was ever to trade in my Bronco Sport Badlands, it would be a 4xe Trailhawk.

The first thing I noticed, you have to manually lower the the back seats? For a $75k vehicle? How sad is that. Great review!

One thing I rarely see covered in reviews is the lighting. Both interior and exterior are important, but reviewers rarely talk about it

As with any PHEV, it's a matter of how you drive it. I consistently get 33mpg in my 5,400 lb Wrangler 4xe. Also if you do your research, you can get insane deals on Jeeps making them even more affordable. I'm driving my Wrangler for almost $17,000 under MSRP.

These are handsome trucks. I sat in a $77k model that had cognac colored leather. The only let down was the hard plastic on the side of the center console. It looked and felt so cheap. I which they extended leather or even vinyl down the side.

Absolutely agree about the graphics design, cars for half it’s price put them to shame. The Tech is there, it just seems they hired the wrong people to design the UI. Hope Jeep changes it, as it’s making it’s way to the Wrangler. So far upgrades have been sparse and pointless

I get your point about a small battery. Saying that, I would like to charge the vehicle while stopping in a service area and keep the AC on during that time in the summer. So for roadrips, PHEV makes some sense for me.

Where is this place? Does anyone knows?

When will you review the Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition ⛰️🏞️🚙

Maguires PLASTI X will do a great job removing scratches on plastic.

All the brands I know have an 'EV' booster battery model.

Which color is this jeep car? Please

$75k seems crazy for a PHEV with such a small range. I ditched my Jeep after years of issue after issue for my Rav4 Hybrid. TBD on how the Toyota holds up, but I'll never be back in a Jeep on my own dime

Must of forgot the trailhawk.

I want one of these so badly but the pricing is ridicules

What happened to YOUR jeep compass?

North America, EU, not sure where can you buy land cruiser. I love Grand Cherokees but they got a bit too pricey for me

What about grand Cherokee L Do jeep make 4*e for 3 row suv

Very confused by the reporting of the mileage in this video. What's the mileage when running in a "normal" hybrid mode, where the gas engine and electric motors are operating in tandem? I also don't understand an "off-road" review test that's mostly on fire roads and not the Driving Sports private trails to truly test and compare it to other off-road vehicles tested there.

One of the better looking SUVs on the road, but it’s just not worth the price. No one is really taking this off anything more than a dirt road, so an X5e for the same money feels much more solid. I sat in one at the dealer and the hard plastics were still very prevalent and the center storage door felt so flimsy. Plus the piano black will look trashed in a month

Does, the government offer a tax credit for Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe ? And does it very by state?

I like it but is it reliable?

Gm everyone in the chat stay safe out there today

Never mind the car, I’m here for the chickens..

At that price I would rather buy a BMW x5 50e.

Well the PHEV is eligible for rebates that regular hybrids are not eligible for so I can understand why some people would go with this vehicle despite the limited electric-only range.

Great review! I agree with the lack of EV range of the 4XE Jeeps. I wish on roadtrips I could plug in my destination on the navigation and then the Jeep would figure out when/how to deploy the battery. If I go on a 300 mile road trip, it would be nice for the battery to hit 0 miles once I get to my destination.

Is Jeep's current reliability actually a big issue or is it blown out of proportion when compared to other American manufacturers?

I am being distracted by the chickens

Don't care of screeches but care of that thermal camera. Had saved me several times from an expensive repair

The passenger screen is one of the few things preventing me getting the 4xe. Just WHY.

I see no point in e vehicles as the prices cost as much as 3-4 new gas vehicles even if you spend on gas for the first 5 years, the gas vehicles still wont reach as high as the e cars.

It is very impressing vehicle only one thing missing a diaper dispenser.😢😂😅😊

Wish they'd bring back the visco-loc front and rear differentials instead of that useless ELSD that doesn't seem to be working in this video.

On all the Jeep's 4 by East. Station offer 200 mile range for Electric Are more 300-400 mile range electric

You should review the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

The rear ESLD programming is not very good, its evident the rear axle isn't locking at the slightest amount of wheel spin, where as the WK2 platform ELSD would lock and stay locked based on selec terrain setting and/or the slightest amount of wheel speed difference. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNFniJN9xKven5c.html

75k for a Grand Cherokee?! I'll keep my WK thanks.

This vehicle looks awesome, but the EV range is disappointing. The Next Generation Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has way better EV range and offers features comparable to luxury SUVs minus the high price.

Just got my 4XE for $42,000 brand new. 32.5% off sticker roughly rn

Lots and lots of scatchable surfaces

there’s no way this guy is legs torso proportionate

y not just make a full hybrid version, or All Electric?

I dunno. There's no substitution for a locker. I'm bracing myself for the world of EVs. . .

I just don’t understand the justification for the cost and complexity for such a limited EV range and lousy hybrid mpg. I would be very concerned about long-reliability. I would be more interested in just a hybrid version of this, or the reliable gas engine. Mpg gas vs. hybrid mode is not that impressive.

I work at Dodge and I would never, ever buy a 4xe Wrangler or 4xe Gr. Cherokee... they are by far the most unreliable vehicles we have closely followed by the Wagoneer or Gr. Wagoneer. I'm surprised how many people don't do their homework and actually buy these vehicules.

The hydrogen is the future!

It seems like for that money a Defender would best it is nearly every way.

I feel like if you're spending $75000 on a hybrid SUV to save money on gas, you're not budgeting correctly. Why not get a $18k Land Cruiser 300 with 120k miles in it. It gets 12-14 mpg and in 10 years, you'll still not spend $57,000 on gas.

certainly sounds noisy in the cabin...

Overland should be about practicality and durability, not luxury (

$75,000?? SMH

A buddy is logging 16mpg which is worse than the V8 Mustang a friend has. We chalked it up to the extra wight of the batteries.

You didn't mention that crappy hard plastic on a 75k dollar vehicle???

The forester wilderness will beat this suv in off road 😏

So, no real trails for the Jeep? Why not take it over the typical course that you usually do? Kind of lame off road testing.

Over priced jeep top trim can top at 85k !!! Crazy

Anyone spending $75,000 USD on a Grand Cherokee must be huffing paint... especially when you remember its literally just a 4 cylinder under the hood. HARD pass PS... lets not kid ourselves, a crossover with air suspension definitely isnt a "rugged offroader"

My mother in law will only drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee but after 3 years they fall apart so they buy another one. Jeep is owned by FIAT, which is owned by Salantis which manufactures only the Worst vehicles on Earth
