Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

i came to the comments for clarification on this thank you!

I didn't mind... English isn't his first language and ppl make mistakes all the time. You go Andre!

Oh man and you Editors rock ever video!! You're output is top notch folks! TFL4L

Jason you're right except for the Range Rover dig. While I would prefer a Jeep GC over the RR line up, RR is seriously capable.

Yep, low geared 4cylinder pickups are notoriously underpowered with abysmal fuel economy. Why not dedicate the motor to electric generation and heat/AC?

@@gwolf7716 It has 1 pedal driving for regen and this is the most powerful grand Cherokee in the lineup...

I just had the pleasure of drving one of these home DEC 15 2023 so almost a week ago. I haven't charged it once I have about 75 miles left until I have to re-fuel. Haven't checked my official fuel MPG but I wasn't expecting great fuel economy. And I also knew prior to leasing the vehicle that I would likely never charge it (I live in a condo with shared parking). But it's nice knowing that I CAN charge it and that whenever/whereever I charge (no matter how far or near an accessible charging point) it's like a 25-mile "bonus." As you pointed out: you can "save" (i.e. delay) the electric miles and employ them at the time of your choosing. But if you're looking for optimal fuel economy the best advice I can offer is to charge it daily especially if your round-trip commute is 25 miles or less. But otherwise I expect between 21-26 MPG which I think is AWESOME for a 375 HP 470 lb.-ft. torque engine. It is very fast and I am loving the looks of surprise that I get from people in traffic when I open it up and they see that this vehicle may LOOK like a normal SUV but it seems to be packing something special under the hood!! 😂😂🙏🙏🚜🚜

2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbo . Ya it's not a inline 6.

Did you buy it? I just got mine and I love it, can’t wait to go off-road 😬

Check your window sticker for Offroad Adventure II If so, yours should be equipped with the Quadra-Drive-II system and skid plates over the entire underside.

Yep. That’s what we ordered. My wife preferred the seats and lack of hood decal on the Overland, so that’s what we got.

I'm in the pinebarrans in NJ , we don't have rock crawling but we do have big mud holes and swamp land . GC is a big jeep so your right about pine stripes down the side . I keep a MK patty riot for small trails, and use my GC trail hawk for mudding . Cherokee kl and renegade are also good for small tight trails that would tear up the sides of your GC✌🦆

I'm in a few Jeep groups. The people with 4×E Wranglers have done hundreds of miles just in electric mode without needing to run the engine.

Check out Redline reviews' review here on youtube, which goes into a bit more detail on these things.

more battery = more expensive

So the European versions typically get higher ranges with the same battery because batteries are required to have a 10 year warranty in USA, versus 5 year warranty in EU. So it's about the amount of buffer that is required to maintain 25mi for about 8 years.

Same for the wrangler 392

ditto

Just an absurdly high price point given other plug-in SUV’s at 40k and fully EV trucks/SUV’s like the Lightning starting at 40k

With tax breaks(7500 + 2000 for texas) this vehicle becomes 60K. Does that not sound reasonable?

@@vaimurthy no. Not when the fully electric base F-150 Lightning MSRP after the tax credit is $34,000. If the 4xe were fully BEV, then yeah I think ~60k would be about right

Yep $20/hr minmum wage will raise prices

And now many used vehicles are selling for more than original MSRP. Upside down world we live in.

@@2010drive So true, I’ve never gained value after years of owning vehicles like my current rigs, it’s exciting until you consider cashing in on those and see what your replacements will cost new or used..

Fix the soft cam and/or lifter and/or lubrication issue first.

My lunch last month was under $10, now it's $14.99

The Jeep Laredo is now in the mid to upper 40s with moderate options-lol. Wranglers can be almost 70k with good options, not talking about the SRT ones.

I’d like to know where this is also, maybe enchanted rock?

@@Pineboy104 it's close to that actually, he showed the navigation in the video, Inks Ranch Road and you can see the rock formation that they are driving around. Probably private property and closed off

Not sure why he said 3.5 hrs to charge. I have a wrangler rubicon 4xe with the same sized battery and charging at same max rate takes 2.25 hrs from fully depleted (and sometimes less).

@@byronlarson5534 PHEV’s Achilles heal is highway. They do awesome in town and on trails (anywhere with a lot of start/stop), but the extra battery weight makes them get slightly worse than pure gas engines on the highway after the plug-in part of the battery is depleted.

Inflation is real, and affects everything.

@@gogofastful Uh, no. I'm really tired of the inflation excuse. It's much more than that. Inflation over the past four years would put the price of the '22 Trailhawk about $3200 more. But, as I said, it's over $11,000 more! The fact is Jeep is trying to move upscale with GC, leaving the lousy FWD-based Jeeps for the low end. Unfortunately, Jeep doesn't offer the kind of quality I'd pay that much for. What a shame.

Own nothing but jeeps since 1986 , been through many models and never a issue with any of them. Jeeps are not for everyone they are different breed, Toyota jap vehicles break down also and got its ass kicked in ww2 . GC gives you everything and a 6.4 sits nicely under the hood where Toyota is weak . Only in a jeep ✌

Not sure your out of touch I think you may just be part of the regular people who think it is ridiculous to spend more on a car then a down payments for a house

A decent spec f-150 is gonna be about 50k also. Pickups prices are the perfect gauge to see how overpriced everything is now.

@@bradimondi9808 this. I'm a car nut, but the new stuff coming out I just don't see the value in it.

What MPG do you get in the city?

@@gabrielmendezjr9620 16 MPG average

How do you know this? Tesla has been out for 8 years or so now and their electric range has only increased by maybe 10-20%.

@@dlakerguy look at what they started at my friend .

Real world mpg will vary wildly, because it all depends on how far you live from work. If you live 15 miles from work, you'll only have to go about 5 miles on gas, the other 25 will be all electric. So even at 20 mpg, you'll only burn 1.25 gallons a week on your commute. But if you live 30 miles from work, now you're burning 2.5 gallons a DAY. So the usability of the electric function goes away down.

Surprised he didn’t say anything about it but I believe this is eligible for the 7500 federal tax credit. I got mine on my Wrangler Rubicon 4xe and it made it cheaper than the equivalent gas Rubicon at the time.

You will hate it, range anxiety for days on these monsters

@@naughtysauce4323 I sold my GC for an EV and I love it. Never have any range anxiety to speak of.

@@riggitywrecked9442 Depends on the EV you got, this thing as an EV will weight nearly 4 tons, I highly doubt your current EV weighs hafl that.

Its a new vehicle it will get better

My guy, it's a midsize SUV not a Prius. The hybrid part of the system does next to nothing on the highway. Highway MPG is 60% aerodynamics, 20% engine efficiency, and 20% tire tread pattern and size.

Yeah it doesn't make a lot of sense. My 2015 Laredo V6 gets 23-24mpg doing 65 on the highway.

@@psychologicaltirefire8190 I have a JL unlimited Wrangler with the 3.6l V6 pentastar and I average almost that on the highway. This Grand Cherokee is way more aerodynamic than my Wrangler, and the engine is new whereas the pentastar has been around for well over a decade. So this Grand Cherokee with a smaller, newer, theoretically more efficient engine, is getting only slightly better mileage than my much less aerodynamic Wrangler.

If you are just looking at highway mpg than you have no idia what a hybrid plug in is built for.

That Rav4 isn’t in the same league as this Jeep😅

Yep, to be fair cost to build is probably higher on this than a hellcat.

You just named two complete junk vehicles, GC is so much better!

@@timmikep1978 Junk? Have u owned either of them? I have had a Telluride for 3 years. No issues! Both companies have come a long way in quality and both companies rank up there with Honda and Toyota now. I will buy Korean or Japanese car or SUV over Ford, GM or Dodge. These are junk IMO.

@@RocHopn sounds like you are a salesman

@@timmikep1978 i assure you, I am no salesman. Just an educated consumer that researched vehicles for months before purchase.

@@RocHopn front drive suv is an educated decision? You chose wrong!

For 2005-2021, TrackHawk and base models without offroad package have 1 speed Transfer Case, a system called Quadra-Trac. ALL Grand Cherokee systems use brakes to aid in traction. No air suspension. Base models and higher with the Offroad Adventure 1 package get steel skid plates, tow hooks, 2 speed transfer case (low range), slightly better tires, terrain management on WK2, etc. These have Quadra-Trac-II. No air suspension. Offroad Adventure 2 package adds Quadra-Drive-II, which is everything from Quadra-Trac-II, but added rear Eaton E-LSD, which acts as an automatic locker. (2005 to 2010 WK/XK had these lockers front and rear). Most of these have air suspension (2011+), unless you order it specifically without. If you aren't rich, DON'T get the air suspension.

Plus the trackhawk has the hellcat engine upgraded transmission and drivetrain

Keep in mind there is a $7500 federal tax credit, possibly some more from your state. With that in mind, and considering today's car prices, I would be very tempted by this if I needed to replace my Outback right now.

$4 a Gallon? ha ha ha ha ha I'm laughing so hard when Gas is $5.82 USD a Gallon here in Vancouver, BC, Canada today and some days it even goes up past $7.00 USD per gallon and we consider this NORMAL for this area! You guys have REALLY cheap gas! You want expensive? Try gallon of milk for 4 bucks! Butter is over 5 bucks a pound. Bread is $3 to $6 per loaf. You guys down there have it CHEAP and GOOD in the U.S. !!! V

What Ford fusion can compete with a model 3? Lol

@@gogofastful fit and finish, ride quality, build quality, features... without electrification, a model 3 is 100% a $25-30k car. Tesla would LIKE for people to think it's an A4 or A5 competitor, just electrified. The reality is that it isn't.

@@StarGateSG7 oh don't get me wrong, I know we still have some of the cheapest gas in the developed world, it's just that Americans have been used to cheap gas for so long. What's the old saying? Taking away privilege feels like discrimination to those used to privilege? It's kinda like that.

Includes 2 imaginary pistons for even more imaginary torque!😀😀

I find a lot of Andre's video's rather boring ... he also seems always stressed out when he does this type of review... like catastrophic damage is imminent.

@@Ram14250 I like Andre as a Truck reviewer! That is his bread and butter. I'm sure he gets tired of those reviews and wants to change it up sometimes, but like you said he is not a good offroad reviwer.
