Grand Cherokee 4xe

Most hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains are developed to maximize mileage first and foremost, and any performance gains are considered a welcome bonus. But there are a few PHEVs, including the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, that count on that additional performance as a core part of its personality and positioning in the segment. As such, it’s the most powerful and fuel-efficient model in the Grand Cherokee lineup, but you'll have to work to realize those efficiencies promised by the hybrid powertrain. With 26 miles of estimated electric-only range, it's possible to save a lot at the pump, but you have to charge regularly because once it uses up its 26-mile EV-only range, it reverts to normal hybrid operation, which is only marginally more efficient than the non-hybrid Grand Cherokee. On the other hand, you'll enjoy more potent acceleration and low-speed torque. In all other respects, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is nearly identical to the standard Cherokee with room for five (the longer Grand Cherokee L has room for seven but no hybrid option) and enough trims and options to satisfy buyers of all stripes. There are notably few hybrid SUVs that compete with the Grand Cherokee 4xe and even fewer plug-ins. The Lexus RX and TX models, along with the Mercedes GLE-class are luxuriously solid picks, but none can compete with the Jeep in regard to all-terrain adventures.
