I generally get tired with long videos, and having viewed a lot of car videos, I can tell you that you did an excellent job of explaining everything that the consumer would experience.

So I've watched a lot of 4xe reviews cause in Europe Poland we only have the 4xe option to choose due to Europe emissions regulations. I must say I'm amazed how good Your review is. It is actually the best one I've seen!

This guy is pretty good! nice calm voice, informative, pretty much str8 to the point to unnecessary fluff

That is one of the most thorough, and complete reviews I have seen on KZfaq.

One of the best reviews I’ve seen/heard. Well done sir. Very thorough and hitting the right points.

i love the way you reviewing with a lot of expolnation.. keep it up and all the best

Thanks for a great review. I’m in Ireland and also have owned a 2015 model since new. You covered all the areas I had questions about. Great job Brian

This is the kind of review i like, something from a owner talking about owning the car and features. Instead of your normal youtube review, anymore they all seem the same, but Brain, your review is different, and i want to thank you for that.

Fantastic review. Just bought my 22 4xe summit this past weekend.

Thank you for the thorough review I had a Tahoe scheduled for rent when I went on vacation but got stuck with a grand Cherokee and I fell so in love with it that I am researching which one to buy

One of the best thought-out and articulated reviews I have watched. I am also a Jeep owner and have a 2016 Grand Cherokee Summit 4x4 with the Hemi, and I really don't see myself changing power plants in my next Jeep. Would have enjoyed watching your review of the Lexus GX470, I have also owned one and nothing drives quite like a Lexus! Jeeps also have a very unique drive feel, the air suspension, in my opinion, is one of the best for an SUV, and love the 11+ inches of ground clearance when in off-road 2!

These are the kind of reviews you'd pay $100 for - incredible detail by a detail oriented owner. Fantastic!

What an amazing review. Love the way you address each technical point with pros and cons , please do more reviews

I loved how in-depth this review is esp the deer in the back lol

What a refreshing review video. Great, calm delivery, but what I really appreciated is your attention to detail. Your small nitpicks around UX (button placement, screen design, etc) are spot-on. In this world people tend to gloss over those, or downright accuse you of being crazy. People can get really confrontational about that stuff. I’m here to tell you details matter.

The deer in the background at 13:30 just after you talked about the night vision camera just killed me 😀

Nice review, well thought out and thorough. Very helpful and informative.

Just picked up a 2023 Overland 4xe and love it!

Clear and a very concise video. Felt like I was watching a RT review

Great review Brian! You got straight to the point, not too much fluff, great commentary and pacing.

Great Review! Really appreciate how clearly you explained all the details. I'd like to see a follow-up video with any tips you've learned since then. Thanks!

I bought Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4byE black 2023 six months ago. Im in love with the interior design. ❤

Such a great review Brian! I watched your Karma video a decade ago and so this was a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this since I happen to be market for large hybrids like the 4Xe

Really nice review. Great points you put out there.

Awesome review. Thank you for the time

Great and honest video … thank you !!!

The best video for 4xe

Great honest review! Thx much!

I never comment, this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time ever. But this was a great review, covered everything and it it clear that you have a real need for all of the benefits the car provides making you an expert on how great it or isn’t. Thank you for the review.

Just saw Jeep 4XE review and loved it. i just bought an Overland 4XE that has pretty much the same as you Summit but without the fancy seats! Was more intrigued by your Austin presence (yes saw the Steiner Ranch sign) and your hill country excursion. As a former Austinite and a Texas Ex, I became homesick of sorts. Thanks again for the great review and Hook'Em. Signed, Texas EX in DC

What an incredible job you do of presenting this vehicle. You manage to talk about all of the things that I actually care about without getting lost in performance-related characteristics that often overwhelm videos about cars. I want to know that if I purchased the car that I would actually enjoy driving it and you make an excellent argument for those of us who care more about that than anything else.

Great and simple solution to the piano black problem, I carry a lot of stuff so would keep those lids open all the time too.

I really enjoyed your review, I recently purchased a used MY15 Overlander Eco Diesel, and so far like yourself after 2 months it is hands down the best car I have ever owned, I cannot believe how quiet and refined it is and I have the offroad wheel and tyre package...it tows my 5000 lb caravan like its not even there. I love the ventilated seats and the smell of the nappa leather when I enter it 😊

Dude... you can tell you're a smart person just by listening to you and how you think about things and further explain your thoughts. I will subscribe. You got me haha.

Great review, like the way you presented, very calm and detailed. The fuel economy number seems very off to me, then I watched Alex on Auto's review and realize that FCA has some really weird calculations on their plug-in hybrids. I would just do a quick full tank run without any electricity, log the mileage and fuel back to full at a gas station and write down the gallons added, then you can calculate the real MPG number. The tricky thing about the plug-in's overall fuel economy is it really depends on how often you charge it and what your commute is like. Owning a plug-in myself, the car's electric range pretty much covers my commute and I charge it daily. As a result, even though the car has basically identical gas MPG as its gas counterparts, I rarely need to go to the gas station. I'm getting a bas 4XE soon, not as fancy but totally blow my mind. All my previous cars are "luxury brands" but Jeep really comes a long way, the base trim is pretty comfy for me already. Hope to see you on Texas road one day, I will be sure to beep at you lol!

Im the owner of a 2014 JGC Overland diesel, thank you for this awesome review. Im shopping for a new vehicle and you just tip the scale. Good job!

The WL is one of the sharpest designs from Jeep in a while. Great review! 4xE Trailhawk or Overland is likely going to be my next vehicle with the family getting bigger and my old Jeep XJ becoming more of a toy these days than a daily driver. I have a digital Rearview in my XJ and it's awesome since my rear window is blocked by a spare tire. I can see it being useful when the rear cargo is packed full of gear and blocking the window or if in the future they integrate trailer camera's and you can see behind whatever you're towing.

Great presentation and review!

Excellent review, thank you.

You absolutely did great review as it should be ,better than a lot of people calling for them selves reviewers

I had 2015 and 2018 Grand Overland. The best SUV ever. Never had even one damn issue. Just perfect car all around. Going to check the new style to buy, this time.

Thanks for posting. Great review. I'm really enjoying my loaded (yes, even the passenger screen) 2022 Grand Cherokee WL Trailhawk. I didn't get the 4xe version as I have concerns about operating in my cold weather environment and didn't want to compromise power/performance if dependent on the ICE.

After owning this car for a week I've only charged it once because I don't have the ability to do it at home and public charging locations are very scarce. So my battery is on 0%! But I just found a very fun way to drive this car. I leave it in hybrid mode and put it in sport driving mode and it hauls ass! As an added bonus, the battery charges more than it ever has before. I love this car!

Great review, thanks! I’m over 60 and have a similar mirror in my 2021 Rav 4 Prime . I too did not like it initially for months……but then I did, it takes awhile for the brain to adjust ,so persevere! …just like new prescription eyeglasses, or contact lenses. It rocks, and i set it there always, it’s way better for periphery, and at night to avoid any headlights in the eyes, etc etc . We want a larger SUV as our 2nd vehicle, and similar to you, replacing our terrific 2015 GC V6 Overland. We might do the Summit as you have, but inclined to stick with the same reliable gas 6 cylinder, for price , & fear of Stellantis ruining a good thing.

Fabulous review. Hoping to get an Overland loaded with the trail package after I save up a lot more money 😊

Damn good job with that review Brian! I have the 4xE WRU and hate the sound of the 4 cyl also.

Such a detailed, thorough and most importantly; a very clear review of this Grand Cherokee. Great work Brian. Also a very honest review, Brian was not kidding, as proven by the time stamps 10:52 and 13:52

I’ve got a 2014 Summit with the EcoDiesel. I would have to say that the fuel economy is amazing in that thing. I’ve done a nearly 700 mile trip on one tank of fuel (I was on fumes at the end, and I did have a 3 gallon fuel can with me just in case). I do like only having to fuel up once a month, but I’m not a fan of the DEF issues when the temps drop (I live in Interior Alaska). Anything around +20F messes with the system. Overall, it’s a fantastic vehicle. Thanks for giving an update on the new one. I’ll wait a bit longer, but the 4xe may be the only option that may sway me away from my EcoDiesel. Cheers, and thank you for the great review.

Excellent review 👍 thank you

Awesome Jeep😊 thanks for this video

Well done. I have never owned a Jeep product but am giving this vehicle serious consideration. Thanks again I really appreciated you "non-bias" commentary. Happy Trails!

This was a great video. Well done. Better than 90% of the other grand cherokee video out right now.

I purchased our Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4Xe in late December. Just in time for me to get the tax credit. We have taken two long trips and have 3,600 miles on the odometer. I agree with your A rating. Very comfortable, handles well, and loads of tech. Thanks for the excellent review.

Spot on review. Well done sir. Love my base base 4xe. Jealous of your stereo!!

I have been between a summit and hybrid. Honestly because of you I've changed my mind. If you knew exactly how much comments since you're using the not selling... you should probably do this more often you're awesome

Just stummbled upon your video and blown away at how informative it is ! I have never owned a jeep or matter of fact I have never even been in one my whole life. Just a few days ago, I got the brand new GC 4xe as a rental and got to drive and exp it for 8 hrs for about 450 mile trip. I absoluterly fell in love with it and shocked at how little gas I used ! Because of that rental now Im watching videos and want to buy one. it def felt like i was driv ing a high end luxury vehicle. Im conflicted on getting the new 4xE or should I save money and go with one year older. But again great and very informative video !

My 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, just replaced the rear rotors and pads, first time, at 81,000 miles, the front are still the factory originals. I use the paddle shifters to downhill.

Excellent review

I sell these cars for a living, and its nice to see someone give an honest review that highlights real world opinions. I love these cars, and I also agree with the piano black. I can not stand it. Thanks for the great video! I am making a video this weekend on a 4xe. You should check it out when its uploaded.

Great video, I wonder if the infrared camera picked up the deer at 13:44

AMAZING and very thorough review!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Truly appreciate it.

14:01 the deer randomly walking by, love it

We are on Jeep GC number 5. Just got the new Overland 4xe. Sticker shock is still sinking in but this thing seems to be amazing so far.

Awsome review! thanks

Deer @13:50 must of heard you talking about him haha

Very good info, well presented, thanks.

Great Review. I have a 2022 Trailhawk as I could not see the benefit of a 26 mile plug in hybrid. I actually really like the digital rear view mirror it has remarkable clarity and people watching people behind me is a great deal of fun. I agree the seats should be more plush and luxury at this price point. I miss my Nappa leather seats on my 2018 Jeep GC.

Just bought a new 2022. With the Jeep markdowns and $3750 tax credit, this works out less expensive than a 2033 gas only Summit (ymmv). The hybrid power was really a big point, but the luxurious appointments and tech are huge at this price.

This is probably one of the most believable reviews I've watched on KZfaq regarding the Jeep Grand Cherokee. I love the interior, but that exterior is not winning me over.

love this car - and I agree with you about the black plastic. It's a poor material to use in touch-point areas. For the price of this car - they could have used textured metal, leather or wood to cover more of those center areas. Hopefully they will fix this in the mid-cycle refresh. Excellent review.

I have a limited, and one complaint I have in the Texas heat is... no physical MAX AC button!!! Other than that I love mine. I absolutely LOVE my digital rear view mirror. It allows me to have 5% tint on the rear so I can still see out at night. And headlights never blind you at all. No waiting for it to dim. It did take a little getting used to focusing on the mirror from the road. But it's no different than looking at your dash or the center display. Just took some getting used to. Pretty sure I'll never get another car without it. I'm over 40 too.

One of best reviewers of cars ! Leased one this morning with the upfront Fed Tax credits which lowers the cap cost it brings the price from 75+ way down to the mid 60's then you take the End of Year pricing it brings it to the mid 50's you can't get a Summit gas for this price - no way its a no brainer. Leaving a Buick Enclave Avenir lease in a few days. GM leases are really horrible - three years ago they were cheap. My neighbor has a 4XE Limited his wife has a gas L and daughter has an L. Leasing this year overall is the worst I've seen in many years due to the interest rates. Tried a Jeep dealer and the price monthly zero down on an Overland which was ok and the price was in the low 7's. Tried my friend's dealer and I got a Summit without the Tech package and passenger screen. Would have liked the Night Vision and HUD but for 650 3 a month for three years I can't complain. Silver with Black. Otherwise you are looking at a BMW X3 base or Audi Q5 for much more. I can't wait to pick it up on 1/02/24 due to property loopholes. Its well built, looks amazing and frankly the looks and interior are just as good or better than a Range Rover Sport with better mileage.

Nicely done sir.

Great educated review!!

This is great info... I have a 2014 Diesel Overland and am debating keeping it long term or trading. I do get 29mpg on highway and 22 city in it so that is one reason to keep it. But I do like the new features.

I have the same model and color but with the brown seats, it's a great car. The latest software upgrade fixed the bumpy transition from electric to gas, I'm extremely happy with the car, it's but far the best cat I have ever had. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for a great review I appreciate it as I am considering upgrading my 2016 Overland for a 2024 4xe. I just wish the combined mileage was a little better in hybrid mode . Thank you!!

Brian - excellent review. I’m getting the same vehicle in a few weeks - 1st PHEV for me - and am excited to learn what it can do! Question - is an upgrade to the charging system worth it? What brand did you elect?

Really great review and found it to be pretty accurate. My biggest complaint is no tachometer….it simply doesn’t exist ant totally agree that hybrid/ev mode buttons are poorly located. But otherwise this is a great vehicle.

awesome review, I took delivery of a JGC Summit 4xe 3 weeks ago and couldn't be more happy. Only thing I would ask for in an OTA update is, truly one pedal driving, bringing the car to a stop.

Very nice review, boss. This is my 4th Cherokee. I just leased the Overland 4XE. Jeep really nailed it with this car. I just LOVE riding it. It's simply a Range Rover for poor people. Superb interior, superb ride. The air ride is like riding on pillows. its quite like a library room. The sitting position is incredible. I am 6'4" and its a big car. Price wise, the Overland is best bet for the dollar, IMO. I do have the passenger screen and my wife using it and its good for long trips. The rear view camera is wonderful and I use it all the time. I never had one, and so its helpful to have. The 19 speaker system is sick. Listening to a concert at 80 MPH its like a dream. Enjoy this sweet car.

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude Trim. It's been an excellent car for the last 7 years. The engine has been bullet proof, lots of tech and everything still works. Just had an AC compressor replaced under warranty. It's the first car I've ever had where everything still works after 100,000 miles. Only thing is the suspension is kind of bouncy. It sounds like they've improved that now though. My wife and I are waiting for the all new 2024 Lexus GX that should come out in a year or so to replace it.

The park assist is great if you're not comfortable parallel parking, but yeah I always back in myself. I have a 23 Overland (my 3rd Overland) and I'm really annoyed when pulling into a spot that front and surround cameras don't automatically kick on. Hell, I had a Hyundai Santa Fe that did that and that car isn't even in the same league as the JGC. Missed opportunity by Jeep I've only had the car a month and the digital rear view mirror has been disabled because I found it weird/odd to use. I should give it a shot.

Want surround camera? Try coming to stop, shift to R, and shift back to D. The display usually comes on when you shift to R and will stay on after shifting back to D.

Hello and thank you for the video! One quick question: What is the combined hybrid fuel economy for mixed driving when the battery has a charge?

Excellent video. Thank you.

I just bought the sister overland. Love it.

This could get a bit lengthy. My wife and I took delivery of our 2022 4xe in October, 2022. As of 12/23 it has 36,500 mi on it and we have made 5 cross country trips with the vehicle. It was our 3rd new GC in 4 years. We previously purchased a new GC in 2019 and another in 2020. Both of those were the Limited version and we absolutely loved them. We put 38,000 miles on the 2019 and 73,000 on the 2020. We had absolutely ZERO problems with either of those vehicles. For the most part I concur with Mr. Greenstone on his evaluation of the 4xe. HOWEVER, when I looked at his video I noticed that his vehicle had fewer than 3,000 miles on it. I do not believe that a thorough evaluation of any vehicle can be made with such low mileage. Today is 12/30/2023 and my wife and I are considering whether or not we will buy a 2024 model. It's 60/40 that we will. I have more than 10 times the driving experience in the 4xe than Mr. Greenstone. Here are my thoughts: 1. The vehicle is great around town in electric mode, but not worth very much on the open road. In fact, our 2019 and 2020 GC's were better cross country vehicles. A. Around town. The EV mode is quiet, smooth and the acceleration is wholly adequate. I'm not one to race from stoplight to stoplight, but if this is your thing, maybe you should take the leap and buy a Tesla. I do not concur with Mr. Greenstone about the 4xe taking a long while to get to 60 mph. Where in town do you really need to do this? But I digress. The issue is the range. If your roundtrip errand is 26 miles or less, the 4xe is wonderful in electric mode. But you need to remember that once you get home you will need to immediately plug it in. And this is where reality sets in. In the scheme of things, 26 mi is not very much. For us, a 20-mi roundtrip for a doctor's appointment will eat up more than 75% of your battery charge. After arriving back at the house, you can plug it in immediately. But remember - - - it takes a while for the batteries to charge up. So, if you need to run another errand after returning from the doctor, the likelihood is that you'll be relying on the gasoline engine to get you around. B. On the open road. The 4xe is considerably less efficient than our 2019 and 2020 models with the 3.6 L engine. But, most of all, charging stations are few and far between. And even if they were plentiful, your 26 mi range will do you little good while traveling across Texas. C. Charging times. Mr. Greenstone glosses over the amount of time it takes to charge the fully depleted batteries. I can see from the video that he probably has not used the Level 1 charging cable which comes with the car and which plugs into a standard 110 volt household outlet. Maybe this is because it can take 12+ hrs to charge the batteries by this method. This is fine for overnight charging, but next to useless during the day. Mr. Greenstone is correct that the vehicle can be charged in 2+ hrs, but this requires a Level 2 charger. Mine cost $695 on Amazon. But there's more. First, does your electrical panel have sufficient space to accommodate a 50-amp double pole breaker? If not, you will need to install a subpanel. And, unless you're an electrician, get ready to spend a few bucks on an installation charge. And there's even more. Mr. Greenstone talks about the cost of charging. But YOU need to bear in mind that these costs can vary. WHEN you charge makes a vast difference. And WHERE you are located in the country also makes a vast difference. Check these things out and go into your 4xe purchase with open eyes. 2. The interior. A. I concur with Mr. Greenstone on the piano black plastic coating on the center console. Black? Really? Black shows every defect imaginable, including minor scratches, dog hair, fingerprints and you name it. Our 2019 and 2020 Grand Cherokees had an opaque aluminum looking coating which was phenomenal. Why, Jeep, did you cheapen the 4xe in this regard. B. Mode selector buttons. As Mr. Greenstone observed, terrible placement. You have to peer around the steering wheel to find them. Not good. C. Instrument panel. Two words stand out: Information overload. D. Passenger screen. Our 4xe has it. My wife never uses it. In a word, worthless. There are four other words: A waste of money. E. Cupholders. There should be removable inserts for cleaning. 3. Exterior. It seems to me like all the car manufacturers somehow get together at some secret location and decide what the exterior of their vehicles will look like. When I first saw the new Jeep design, I thought the rear looked like a Toyota Highlander. And I don't like ' Toyotas. Nevertheless, and with all deference to the Grand Wagoneer, the 4xe is the Jeep brand flagship. Why not offer it in exterior colors which set it apart from the run of the mill ICE models? Other than a feeble attempt at adding a big of green, why not add a nameplate denoting the vehicle as a hybrid? 4. Service. Our 4xe has not been without its problems. The most telling happened at around 30,000 miles when the vehicle would not function in the electric mode. The problem was twofold: First, a part called the ECH malfunctioned. This is short for Electric Coolant Heater. It was a royal pain to effect the repair. Jeep has known about this deficiency for some time and the ECH is now in its second revision. The problem was locating one. Once I was able to locate it, then the problem was to find a dealership which had a Jeep certified Level 3 technician to install the part. Believe me when I tell you that not all dealerships have Level 3 technicians. I am not the only one to have this problem. Check it out on the internet. The other issue was the back liftgate. One day while coming out of the supermarket, my wife could not open the back liftgate. It simply malfunctioned. Would not open. Period. Can you imagine having a flat tire and not being able to get the liftgate to open? And, in its infinite wisdom, Jeep failed to provide for a manual way to open the gate. This - - - with a vehicle which had 32,000 miles on it at the time. When I brought the vehicle in for a warranty repair, I told the service manage that I have a Model A Ford which has been in my family since 1932. It's a rare version of the Model A and it has a rear cargo door. In 93 years, how many times would you think that the rear door of my Model A. has failed to open? Answer: Zero. This sort of thing should simply not be happening on a vehicle with 32,000 miles on it. It shouldn't be happening to a vehicle with 250,000 miles on it. Unacceptable. 5. Off road. Mr. Greenstone talks about off road capabilities. Perhaps he will take a $70,000+ vehicle off road. I won't. And I don't know anyone who does. Bottom line. Will we be trading in our 2022 4xe for a 2024 model? As I said earlier, right now it's 60/40 that we will. One surprise has been that my wife and I are among the first customers to purchase the 4xe. You would think that Jeep would have sent us out a questionnaire asking us how we like the vehicle, etc. etc. But - - - nothing. This has been a bit long. But I have written it honestly and hoping that it will help someone.

Thanks. This is very helpful

The front in reminds me of the 80s models with the rounded/square front end look. I love mine, I have the 2022 4xe. Traded my 18 for it

Excellent video, thanks. I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee diesel I may want to upgrade .... or should I wait for a Cybertruck :)

Chrysler - and most car makers - raise the rear seats as it GREATLY lowers car sickness; on pare with how facing backwards seats CREATED car sickness badly. Very important for your eyes to see "forward". One of the best reviews. My sister had a 2005 and now has a 2014 Limited Grand Cherokee (rusting) - so she want something, thinking a midsized (Ranger?) truck as her husband carries lumber and such often now. Was thinking the new hybrid model - you gave one of the best reviews I have seen.

32:00 “oh damn he’s not messing around with the off-road stuff”

Well done. I appreciate this video. I currently have an '18 GC Trailhawk, which I like a lot. But the new TH is hugely more expensive, and I'm not being pulled in by the styling of this new GC (except the interior). Gotta admit, I'm leaning toward the new LR Defender, a very cool alternative in this high-end price range, more unique, and more of a head-turner.

awesome review..luv my 2022 jeep GC overland..

The digital rearview mirror is highly important in vehicles. There are instances where items in the trunk obstruct the traditional rearview mirror, making it difficult to see behind

Love it! I just hope the 4xe gets the new 3.0 V6 Hurricane engine~

@BrianGreenstone Great review! Nice to hear from a real owner. I have a question, I test drive 2023 GC Trailhawk and Summit trims few days a go. In both of them I observed clunking noise when I drive them on uneven roads or potholes, it seems the noise is coming from the suspension. I'm wondering if you experienced same? I'm considering buying one of the 4xe, but I didn't expect such noise from a car with "luxury" label.

In May it will be one year since my order of the summit Reserve 4xe... In May 2022 passenger displays were orderable now they are not anymore. So if they ever deliver it won't have rear displays? The price in Italy is 107,000 euros + 1,300 for the white color + 2,700 for the displays, 1,270 euros for registration and 400 euros for the safety equipment.

The best review 👌 New GCL Summit owner here. Some thoughts: Do you wear progressive lenses? This may hinder your dash view and particularly your use of the digital review mirror. I purchased non progressive lenses for driving and its perfect as the mirror is far enough to see properly. Have found the mirror so useful when the rear view is otherwise obstructed. Totally agree re: rear cover - that needs to be included, particularly for the $. This vehicle is a perfect highway cruiser for us. Super comfortable and does everything you ask of it - in snow, on hills, off road its a gem. Not the most powerful engine (V6) but I'm not towing. There is so much digital customization. Still learning. Loving the grey interior as well. I have the black exterior and it's tough to keep clean. The driver's interior door handle stopped working two months after I picked up the car. Dealer fixed it immediately and I've otherwise had no other issues. Pricey vehicle but I'd say it's similar to the Range Rover, especially on the inside, and that's way more $. I'd buy it again. Heading on another road trip. Loving it! Thank you again for the review. Appreciate hearing your perspective on your configuration.
