However, only time will tell, if Jeep will bring the plug-in-hybrid Wrangler to India, although it is not likely to arrive before 2021."This is the most capable Grand Cherokee every made," was a common refrain during the presentation, echoed by Jeep's product manager and its engineers alike. A compact SUV is expected to join the range in 2022 Also, on the cards for 2021 are two iconic models from the manufacturer with one likely to be the next-gen Grand Cherokee. Jeep has number of launches planned for the next couple of years including the Compass facelift and the Compass-based seven-seat D-SUV next year. The electrification of the Jeep line-up will allow commuters to travel solely on electric power, delivering an efficient and fun on-road experience and offering an ability to enjoy even more Jeep capability off road in nearly complete silence.” Will it come to India? Jeep boss Christian Meunier said: “We are committed to make Jeep the greenest SUV brand. Styling across the Wrangler 4xe line-up is nearly identical to that of the standard car, but blue tow hooks, badging and interior elements mark it out as the hybrid car. How do you tell the Wrangler 4xe apart from the standard model? While the Rubicon brings an upgraded Rock-Track 4x4 system, axle lockers, improved articulation and a front sway bar disconnect for improved suspension travel. The entry-level and mid-range trims are equipped with full-time four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case and heavy-duty Dana 44 axles. The 4xe will come in three variants – the entry-level 4xe, mid-spec Sahara and the fully-loaded Rubicon. What variants will the Wrangler 4xe come in? Instant torque in electric mode allows for a “more precise and controlled driving experience for climbing and crawling”, while conserving fuel and minimising noise. Jeep claims that the “seamless integration of electric power into the 4x4 drivetrain elevates the Wrangler 4xe to new levels of off-road performance”. A new ‘Eco Coaching’ display allows drivers to monitor power flow and optimise use of regenerative braking, schedule charge times and view driving history.Ī ‘Max Regen’ function can be used to optimise electrical energy generation, using ‘more assertive’ regenerative braking. When set to eSave mode, only the petrol engine provides power to the SUV. In Hybrid mode the SUV uses both conventional and electric power, while in Electric mode, only the electric motors are in use. The PHEV comes with three drive modes – Hybrid, Electric and eSave. Additionally, the Wrangler 4xe features comprehensive weatherproofing around all new electrical components, with Jeep saying that it can match the non-electrified car’s 30-inch wading depth. The battery pack is cooled using the refrigerant from the SUV’s air-conditioning system. The positioning of the battery pack means that there is no change to the dimensions of the Wrangler’s cabin while also offering optimal protection from the elements. Jeep says the 4xe has an all-electric range of about 40km. The battery pack recuperates energy from a belt-integrated starter/generator under deceleration or via a conventional charging port located on the front left wing. The electric motors draw power from a 400V, 17kWh battery pack located below the rear bench.
