Overland 4XE, my 4th GC and I love this car. Jeep nailed it well with this one. It takes me one way to work + few miles back all electric. The ride is superb, the air ride is better then the older Gen. The comfort, tech is wonderful. I do recommend to upgrade to level 2 charger. 2 hours charge and you are done. Great job, Jeep.

I've driven PHEV and BEV for 10 years now. Honestly PHEV makes a ton more sense if you live where I live. Lots of wind, -40 in winter, not the best DC infrastructure, etc. I'm 100% PHEV fan even though it doesn't get the headlines like BEV vehicles.

Just wish it was capable of around 50 miles EV range.

I've had a RAV4 Prime for over a year, love the powertrain. Way less compromises than battery EVs. Not as sexy as a Tesla LOL but way better quality and zero range concerns. This Jeep PHEV is great for the market!

I really like your reviews Andre. You bring a great sincere perspective to your reviews.

And thank you for the in depth review. Really helps me make my decision on placing an order. Been loving my 4xe rubicon so this shouldn’t disappoint

Another fantastic video from you guys. Amazing work as always.

The real question is when are they going to release 4xe/PHEV versions of the Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee L? It's the bigger vehicles that actually need the efficiency boost!

7:30 "Clever" is one way to put it. I don't believe most mechanics would agree though. They might call running a drive shaft through an oil pan a "nightmare". Or "planned obsolescence".

the open chassis discussion was so refreshing. Thanks!

Key fobs will be bigger than my iPhone soon.

Nice review Andre!

Excellent review! Thank you.

So cool. Jeep is killing it! No Volvo or BMW will even com close competing with this off-road! I love my Sahara Wrangler 4XE so far. 2in Mopar lift, front/rear bumper, CB Bar, Switch-Pro, 35x12.50 tire, and a Eaton Locker coming soon. (a couple videos on my youtube page). So Cool!

Finally a first hands on video. Can't wait to see some driving reviews, maybe even a 0-60 time.

love the chassis views. shows how far back current engines are being tucked

If they could get the E-range up to about 50 miles I would be interested as I commute about 52 miles a day round trip to work and back. I'd go for the Trial Hawk edition to replace my 4Runner.

perfect review! thanks for it, love you guys)

Great great review. Thank you. I live in the UK and i am waiting for this car.

If Andre is the one doing the review/walk-around on a vehicle, I will watch that video...

Thanks for sharing Andre, great review! $74k, wow! That’s a lot of $$$, it blows my mind how much cars are. Seems the trend is more expensive hi-tech, just makes me wonder where does that leave the average income person. Cheers Kirk

Just learned about an Inline 6 Cylinder twin turbo coming to replace the 5.7 litre Hemi. Evan Williams stated these facts on AutoTrader News: Stellantis has just launched an all-new inline-six engine that's capable of producing over 500 hp. More important than that power figure these days, the automaker says, is its ability to burn less fuel than the V8s and turbo sixes of the competition. The 3.0L twin-turbo I6 engine is called Hurricane, and is set to arrive at dealers this year. An inline layout is an inherently smooth design, thanks to having the cylinders all acting on the same plane. It's why BMW and Mercedes-Benz continue to produce I6 engines, despite it requiring a longer engine bay than a V6 or V8. The engine will also share some key dimensions with the 2.0L four-cylinder the automaker already uses in its PHEV models, hinting strongly that there is a shared architecture to help lower costs. Stellantis and LG Investing $5B into Battery Plant Coming to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The Hurricane will be offered in two main flavours, though each will be slightly tweaked for the vehicles where they're installed. The standard-output Hurricane is aimed at fuel economy. It will make 400 hp and 450 lb-ft and has features like cooled exhaust gas recirculation and the ability to run on 87 octane. High-output versions of the engine are said to make more than 500 hp and 450 lb-ft with larger turbochargers and stronger pistons. As both Hurricane engines are set to become the primary power choice in body-on-frame models like the Ram 1500 and Jeep Wagoneer as well as other large Stellantis group vehicles, the automaker emphasizes that the engine should still deliver improved fuel economy when towing. Fuel economy in demanding applications has long been an Achilles heel of small turbo engines in large vehicles. Stellantis said that vehicles with this engine will be on sale by the end of the year, but did not specify which vehicles would be first. Expect an announcement to come later in the year, closer to the launch of those models They was taken from the article. Of note is the battery Factory with LG set to be built in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. $5 BILLION joint venture. Guess they ARE serious about changing the vehicles to keep up with the competition.

I don’t like the regular Grand Cherokee or Grand Cherokee L, due to the cost, feature ratio but I do like this hybrid version. The price makes a lot more sense for the hybrid.

Well done, Andre.

I always loved the GC. This one looks great and refined but man those prices!

Quite cool to see the chopped up unibody to see all the components underneath.

I have a 2020 GCH (and had a 2012) with the 6 cyl. Something I always liked was the large 20 gal. gas tank capacity. The fuel tank was removed in the video, but was wondering if you know the capacity. Also, what is the HP in gas only mode. Thanks

My condolences to the mechanics who ever have to work on that transmission - wow. Step 1, put vehicle on lift, step 2 - remove everything in sight, step three - drop the entire powertrain including the front axle, step 4 - now you can check the transmission fluid level.

Jeep needs to extend the electric range! 25 miles isn't enough for the price, should be closer to 40 like the Rav4.

I dont see Mcintosh or rear seat entertainment option for 4xe in Jeep site. But Mcintosh is there in regular overland GC Cost cutting?

Awesome video, do you know if the L is getting 4XE soon??

Love this vehicle and think it makes a lot of sense. I might get one

Which tow hooks are stronger? Blue or red? I have black.

Good camera work

On this episode of cars you can’t afford: Grand Cherokee 4xe

i have a 2020 hight altitude that i just paid off a few months ago. Because of gas, i was thinking about going electric but im not sure if something like this is a better option. its good to have the gas as backup but that means you also have to get oil changes and all the other maintenance things of a gas car. nice to get 50+ miles a gallon...or...whatever because im sure the charging cost of EVs are about to get high as well and in a few years it will cost you $80 to charge up your car

oh wow if im not mistaken this must be the first time you've ever shown the key.... I didn't expect that from you

Couldn’t remember hearing it in the video but does it sell charge while driving or to the batteries only charge when it’s plugged in

Is there a 7 seat 4xE and does it differ in any space inside compared to the non-electric

@12:41 would -12 wheel offset clear front control arm if I wanted larger tires on Grand Cherokee?

At 7:20 in the video I see a strut just inches over the drivers side front tire. Is this design safe? I’m wondering if the strut would hit the tire if I was driving and hit something that caused the Jeep to recoil. I imagine the design is the same on both sides of the Jeep.

Quadradrive has always been able to do that...but that vehicle is actually a QuadraTrac II with a rear ELSD. 2010 was the last year for the real Quadradrive II system.

What companies have true competition to a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Overland edition has fantastic off road capabilities and very nice inside.

This is getting close to Rivian Rs1/RT1 territory! I think for my money, it’s Rivian!

I wish they would do something like this with the ram

Yeah axle shafts through the engine oil pan will cause weenchers a whole bunch of pain in 15 years lol... also looks the body needs to come off to service/replace electrical components?

Andre: that small info screen on the passenger side is right where the pass airbag usually lives. Where did they move that airbag? Thx

Wonder what the trunk space looks like? Is there a spare under the floor?

I’m assuming that the 4xE can’t be flat towed like the gas engine models … is that true ? I absolutely love this vehicle and yes it’s a bit overpriced but after watching you tube videos on all competitors I keep coming back to this ! If I could swing the $ factor I’d definitely go for the summit reserve model which is I think $82,000 ! 😩

Spasibo very much indeed

I expect this to be my next vehicle. Just curious to find out when it will actually be available.

After I saw where the engine was and the driveshaft going through the oil pan I knew I would never buy this vehicle used. lol

Good luck finding one, and if you do, good luck paying MSRP.

Any word on when they plan to release the GC-L 4XE model?

I'm looking at the 4XE Overland but without all the screens.

Gotta admit I’m blown away. Definitely will be going with a 4xe.. but wish there was an L model. I’m sure they’ll come out for 2023.

I hope that the electrical components are actually blue in the chassis like that but I doubt it is. Im sure it was specifically for the reviewers to easily identify the motors and such.

Did I see a solar home charger for Jeep on the website?

very interesting the grand cherokee 4xe and when will we see the jeep wrangler 4xe for my part I prefer the hybrid system than the hybrid plug system

Kinda disappointed you're not getting to drive it. I would especially like to see the Trailhawk.

I love the mpge rating on this vehicle, just not sure if the price is justifiable. If it only has a 4cylinder engine I guess that it is more then capable to pull the 6,000 lbs when the battery is completely discharged? Would they be able to just offer a 4 cylinder turbo in this vehicle that gets 30 mpg and costs 20K less? Quite an interesting vehicle that gets me thinking.

That’s going to be a nightmare to work on anything but the front of the engine.

What happened to your wrangler 4xe off-road review? The one you only got 4 miles of range. I think we would all want an update that.

57K Starting price is ridiculous. The ones you see at the dealership all optioned out will be 65K+. So just figure 70K+ out the door of a dealership. I really like these, but is it really worth twice as much as a rav4 hybrid?

Volvo xc90 did this in 2016. Not exactly the same but worthwhile noting. Battery should be 25 / 30 kwh. Check out the gle 350de.

I ordered mine about a month ago. Has anybody heard any word on when they're expecting delivery?

too expensive for its specs. I've noticed no one seems to say what the mpg is during hybrid mode when the full electric range is depleted.

I'd definitely get the extended warranty if I bought this one.

Is the 2.0t the same engine in the Alfa Giulia? The Multi-Air? Turbo looks to be in the same place...

Overland is mid-range? I remember when it was the top trim (if my memory serves me correctly).

Prob should have a lil bigger battery, at least 20kw to give it a 30mile plus range. not much room left though. if the gas tank was not shown im wondering what that huge silver part was in the back? maybe it was muffler. no TC/clutch only is a concern esp offroad. kinda jerky. i would prefer an extended range version with no air susp, no passenger screen, no sunroof, no massage. just offer a bigger battery wo the fluff. ditch the piano black high gloss trim too. i dont think wheels even with diff backspace would help you get around that knuckle for bigger tires. i think you could only go about 1 inch bigger wo a lift on the previous gen at 31.5" at regular height w 65s. maybe you needed spacers anyway. stock tires were 30.5. prob same here w 265/60/18s.

Wonder what’s the purpose of the “starter” motor that’s belt driving on the front of the engine? Why not just start the engine with the motor in the transmission?

Um the exhaust is kinda touching or very nearly touching the high voltage wiring conduit… The engineering demo is pretty cool though… Some nifty engineering and very cool to be able to look at it… Not sure about that exhaust though with the high voltage wiring

I feel like having that whole engine design being so tucked away and lowered by the axle it might appear to be clever engineering but it’s gonna be more of a pain in the ass to work on

I heard Grand Cherokee 4xe gonna launch this month. When is the L version 4xe gonna launch though if at all?

What’s is price difference between regular 4x4 and 4xe? How much we have to pay more?

I will say, I love my Grand Cherokee 4xe. but the back seat spacing needs some serious improvement. Putting a baby car seat on the passenger side forces them to really scoot up, in order to add access to my baby.

They’ve done a phenomenal job with this redesign but nearly 75k for a Jeep is a HUGE pill to swallow. At that price, I can’t see why you’d choose this over a BMW or other class competitors.

Very informative. Thanks.. Price puts it out of the range of your audience. Plus. It has many expensive complex systems. Can this vehicle remain reliable enough that the operational costs are reasonable beyond the warranty period?

Surely there is something wrong with the MPG, right? I have a 2017 Summit V6 and it averages about 20 MPG and I get “510 miles” on a full tank. And this is averaging 23 MPG and just barely over 300 MPG (shown on screen) while they say 470 miles combined.

The concept of a PHEV is always tempting, but then I see all of that complexity and think “do I really trust (company name) to make this reliable for 20 years?” And the answer is no. 🥺

I went to buy one but no luck. Wanted a TrailHawk, still months out. Traded my Ram1500 Laramie for a new Wrangler 4xe High Altitude. We will see how it goes... the new GCs sure are nice inside. Thanks for all the great reviews!!

Just drove one. They are heavily discounted if you shop around. It's a real swiss army knife of a vehicle, especially if you take advantage of that 25 of electric range often to drive up the effective mileage. And while you might consider Volvo, BMW, Audi, RR or even Benz SUVs for that MSRP, the Jeep looks like it belongs in some dirt. The others won't get near it. Even the RR Velar/Sport are too dear to risk getting a scratch.

We need a phev demon or helcat to get awd traction into the platform.

Let's see how it goes off road and on the drag strip against the competition

For $70k+ I would look hard at Rivian. Hopefully there are more full EVs focused on off-road soon!

Some more he gets into the stuff that runs this vehicle with the electrical side of it I see a lot of things that can cause problems in the future SAH with all the systems that convert alternating current to direct current to high voltage to low-voltage all the electric motor twice the gas motor I feel like this would be a nightmare when it’s not working perfectly

When will automakers learn that shiny interiors are a total distraction and reflect light back into the driver. Plus they’re an absolute pain in the ass to keep clean.

Fiat is really known for reliable electronics

They need a inverter like the F150 hybrid. 7kw and 120/240VAC

I really need to see a review that shows how this engine performs in the mountains on a 400 mile camping trip, towing a camper.

Imagine snapping the ifs axle off-roading. Rip oil pan

The much smaller Tesla Y is 70k, so not bad for a vehicle that will take you through the Rubicon. I have the old WK2 Grand Cherokee and the new WL Grand Cherokee as well, and the quality control is up to par with Tesla’s: meaning poor.

Lowered engine=good for floods?

Just bring it to the world toughest towing test already

How many miles per gallon?

Where is the spare wheel? It used to be in the boot

This generation of Jeep GC unbelievably still not launched in the UK

Well, I like it a lot. 👍🏻

That wire lying on the exhaust looks like a disaster waiting to happen
