I dig the passenger screen idea for road trips. Like, passenger finds waypoints and pushes it to the drivers nav. Love that idea.

Finally something in a vehicle that allows the passenger to get the answer to the burning question “are we there yet”, without having to distract the driver! Great review guys!

You guys have the best explanation on why this 4XE set up works well. I have not heard until this review that even when the battery is low, there will still be contributing electric motor torque adding to the 4 cyl, so you will never just be on 4 cyl turbo power alone. I hate the idea of a little engine in a heavy jeep. That said, as a performance car enthusiast who owns a manual C5 Corvette and also enjoys well designed internal combustion engines, this is not my thing. I bought a Explorer ST which I actually enjoy driving. Even after I get right out of the C5. The 3.0 ecoboost is a great set up and that SUV in general I have been really impressed with. I wish Jeep would put their new Hurricane turbo I6 in this new GC and GCL. For those that tow and like the utility aspect of jeeps, that would add a large increase in capability without needing the added complexity, weight, and expense of the hybrid powertrain. Having a family with two young kids, and a couple of expensive hobbies, I'm not at a place in life where I can afford this GC hybrid. It's just too much $$$ for what it is, but I absolutely get the appeal. For me I will continue enjoying my relatively fun to drive ST which gets better gas mileage than the 3.6 pentastar and way more power and torque than the 5.7 hemi. Keep up the good work guys. I really enjoy your vids. You've got the pulse of legit car enthusiasts for sure.

I have a 22 Wrangler 4xe. Awesome car. I fill up once every two months. If you WFH or have a really short commute the 4xe is really a compelling offer.

Informative and entertaining as always!

Quick correction on the comment about the weight of the Cayenne E-Hybrid, I believe you may have accidentally quoted the gross weight. According to google, the GC 4xe weighs in at 5,325 lbs. in its lightest form. By comparison, Porsche quotes the Cayenne E-Hybrid at 5,164 lbs. on their website. Rest easy Paul, Porsche wins again:) Don’t get it twisted though, I love the show and am becoming particularly fond of Todd’s continued unimpressed-ness with press briefings. I just had to be that guy in the comments;)

Love you guys, would have liked to hear about range or mpg since this is a 4xe. Easy enough to look up, but would have been nice to have in the video.

I have owned a 95 zj, a 98 zj, lol and briefly a 2002 wj (transmission went out) and my wife owns a 2018 wk that she loves. I'll always love the jeep series

On the road these trucks are beautiful all of them I really love there black on black trucks with the black wheels and black badges this is a pretty truck In person

I am currently car shopping and this is one of my top vehicles. Definitely waiting for prices/incentives to help me out.

Great review guys. i have a 2023 GC 4xe Base Model with Luxury Group II. MSRP of $66K. Tax credit of $7500 used by Stellantis as cap cost reduction on lease was very helpful. Dealer gave some love too. I did not buy the car for fuel efficiency. I deserve demerits for that. I got the power set up for just that. Power. Here's the best part. You do not have to plug this car in. That's right. You can if you are into hyper mileage but you don't have to. In hybrid mode the power is modulated by the computer. If you accelerate hard it grabs both the gas and electric systems and is much quicker than the Hemi. That's off off the line, on-ramp acceleration or passing. If you run the car in e-Save, set the e-Save mode to recharge it recharges very efficiently as you drive. Using max re-gen helps a bit too. If you accelerate aggressively in e-Save it grabs both the gas and electric systems and it takes off as well or even better than in E-Hybrid mode. I have 2500 miles on the car and I have yet to plug it in. I toggle back and forth between E-Hybrid and e-Save and that's it. The car is fast.

Thanks!

The average buyer doesn’t need the top trim. You can save money and go for the lower trim and still get a lot of vehicle for the money.

Curious if you feel the same about the Wrangler, which is the only convertible / open-top electric vehicle currently available.

I own a 2018 Overland Diesel and just test drove the 22 new body Overland, way way too much candy, and after discussions with several Crylser service departments and dealer mechanics, they already are software update nightmares (a big problem with Jeep GC anyways still dealing with the Sirius Guardian update but there working out with 1 more recall to deal with ) ...my 2018 overland diesel is tighter more sold drive and with a tighter turn radius, and runs like a champ, in my opinion (the bi-monthly exhaust clean out is a wee pain). In my opinion with a side-by-side comparison 2018 is more masculine and cleaner it's a Grand Cherokee, not a Land Rover, I had no clue why the Salesman emphasized the point that it was modeled after one. Mind you the massage seats were very very nice the Macintosh speakers as well. Downside the dropped a couple of the apps in the interface I use but again a personal thing. I was offered a good deal on my 2018 only 72k Can and on trade in was offered between 50k and 64k Canadian at the 78k best deal for the 22 Overland at the dealerships I visited, which made me smile. The 22 new body is nice but I can wait I can I own a very nice Overland anyways...

Nice vehicle but I was surprised by it's weight.

Love the Tudor!!!

Another quick correction, the range of the current Cayenne E-Hybrid is closer to 30miles - I think you are quoting the electric range of the older model.

If jeep let me build my idea of the grand cherokee it would be equipped with a 4 cylinder diesel motor with the electrical components attached as depicted above. This would be the ideal motor/transition in my book.

I agree - e-save is technically gas mode ... I actually pushed the gas symbol thinking that would put the vehicle in gas only mode … it opened the gas tank … maybe that gas tank should not need in the same line as the other 3? Misleading?

I like in BC and I do take it off road. It is vey capable!

14:45 IRL, charging via 120V, taking 14 hours is just fine. I could count on one hand the number of times being able to charge in 2 hours would have had a significant effect on the usefulness of this platform. In most cases I use up the battery, charge it overnight and am ready to go the next day, OR, I'm making a long trip where I won't be home to use the 2 hour charger, anyway. And like many batteries, that first 75% charge takes about as long as the last 25%, so even if you exhaust the battery and charge 120V for 4-5 hours, you get some decent miles out of that.

Big question, the Wrangler 4xe has been highly criticized for the hybrid jerkiness. Was it fixed in this one?

Love my grand Cherokee just mpg is terrible. N was looking forward to that model but damn 75k sheesh way overpriced n it’s not huge difference in saving on gas.

so you had bought a 2015 G cherokee, it sounds like you got rid of it. Did you stay in the jeep family. If not have you done a review on the type of vehicle you have now?

Great Tudor GMT Pepsi.

My brother-in-law is a Jeep diehard and he's always asking me for updates on hybrid and EV tech, but at $75k, even he's going to have trouble justifying such a purchase, especially when there are highly rated vehicles like the Hyundai Santa Fe Plug In Hybrid that start at $40,000. Is the Jeep really $30k more car?

Why dont my 2023 GC overland 4xe have a passenger screen?

My x5 45e does 40 miles and the battery drains slowly and then rebuild back up pretty quickly. And 10.5 inches of ground clearance with the air suspension. I know you all didn’t like that vehicle but I definitely cross shopped these,the grand Cherokee 4xe just didn’t meet the driver experience and it cost more than the bmw??? Just couldn’t swallow that.

That piano black. What were they thinking? To me prior gen was a better vehicle in every aspect.

Just bought one. Love it. Chose this one in the Summit Reserve version over a Range Rover.

Is it 4x4?

That rotary shift knob is really awful when shifting back and forth to get out of jam. And no low gear?-! I've driven Fords with this, and it's too easy to inadvertently shift into Reverse when you don't want to.

So why doesn't the engine constantly charge the battery? Makes no sense to have the gas power & not use it.

I'd sill rather an XC90 hybrid to be honest

I guess if enough people tell us we like ev's, we'll like them.

What is the mpg of the jeep

Just bought one...and I will NEVER take it on a "trail".

THANKYOU for ripping into the piano black garbage... I absolutely hate it.

Can we all stop pretending anyone is going to be taking this offroad ? Yes it's a jeep but if you live on a dirt road and consider that " off road" than a corrola can go "off road"

You didn't mention BMW X5 45e

I think I blew my speakers out watching this. Your sound levels are all over the place.

Chrysler can’t get one uconnect screen to work properly much less two.

That car needs a 6 inline engine.

Since when did Jeep become a "luxury" brand and why is the only hybrid you can think to compare this against a Porsche? Todd how do you let Paul get away with this stuff how about the Volvo XC90? Jeep Luxury next you will be calling Kia a performance brand.....

Personally I think Jeep missed the mark & the opportunity by pairing the new electric power plant with a pathetic inline 4 cylinder engine. Had they gone with a V6 or even better, a V8... I'd own one today. Sadly they went with a setup that is BARELY adequate.

This car is nicer than most luxury SUVs

I want to like these guys but they take 20 minutes to talk about 10 minutes worth of information.

I've never looked into Jeep grand cherokees until recently. I went and looked a few overland models. While on the surface, they look great, I started looking at some of the details and build quality..oh my, it's downright terrible. For $60k+, I'm just shocked that people buy these and are okay with the quality that they're getting.

This price point makes zero sense for me. Since you’re comparing it to the Porsche - which is nuts, let’s look at the Audi Q5 mild hybrid, it’s way cheaper, way faster, handles like it’s on rails for a crossover, and has a luxury sporty car feel. What say you?

14 hours for 25 miles range? you could walk faster

Too expensive. Both from an "overpriced/undervalued" perspective ($75k, for this?!), and, from a lower or lower-middle class solution. EVs and gimmicky hybrids like these are too much money, unobtainable for the masses, and that is why they are completely fail-whale.

It's funny and sad how much you guys don't understand how plug in hybrids and EVs work with home charging. I know many people who when they got the car, they installed a 240 volt charger in the garage or in the driveway, and use that to charge. And the ones that didn't, they just come home, and plug it in to the 120 outlet, and it charges until they have to leave the next day, and it just gets whatever amount of charge they could get, and the majority of their commute is still all electric.

Range Anxiety. That is the new world for cars. And then the grid burn outs. Gas always reigns supreme.

Not worth a dime over $35,000

The competitors to this are Honda Passport and Toyota 4-Runner. These bozos compare a Jeep to Porsche

Lol 2.0 liter turbo in a vehicle this big. What a joke. Pass.

Pity when u get to camp site you can't turn this car into a generator and run your home or camp site
