    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 wonder if this jeep will be reliable down there road. I am not in the market for a new car right now, but I’m a couple of years I already know I want an plug in hybrid suv. The rav 4 prime seems to be the best at so much, and because its a Toyota I would expect it to run for years (beside the battery having to be replaced eventually). I just worry about Jeep’s long term reliability with a car like this.

      @@justinufheil3524 Personally knowing what I know about the Toyota system and the Jeep system I would say not compared to the Toyota. For one, the Toyota uses an integrated motor in the "transmission" to start the ICE, not an external belt-driven starter. There are zero belts on the RAV4 hybrid engine. The Toyota hybrid systems have been perfected over 20+ years. The Jeep system? Notsomuch.

At the time, the only EV CUV that was allowed to, even encouraged to go off-road. I tried it a couple of times (my wife was not leased either time) and it was surprising!! Not Touareg surprising, but Bronco Sport Badlands surprising!! I wouldn’t use it for hard off-road use, and the bit I did, was hard on the battery as far as range goes. Range was a huge thing!! You head up Forestry trunk road and you know there’s nothing out there for charging except your home!! Winter would shut it down due to the range at -40. -30 even.
      She switched to a Jeep Wrangler 4xe instead. We put Michelin CrossClimate 2s on it and it has performed very well. Even living out in the middle of nowhere we are still a few miles from a smaller town, village actually. She has routinely run on EV only about 70% (69 - 73%) of the time. She has no range anxiety and I use the vehicle as well! She has been dealing with a dealership in Calgary and has a Grand Cherokee 4xe on order. I will keep the Wrangler still. I used to do hardcore off-roading, but my bad back is enough so that I had to quit due to the jarring etc. I will still go fishing into some iffy areas and have the lift kit and 35” BFG KO2s waiting to go on. It will have 18 inch wheels instead of the 20s that are stock. A winch and steel bumpers and I will be done. (Maybe skid plates, especially up front, but that would absolutely be all I would do to it. I do have a F150 Tremor as well, so don’t need the Jeep Wrangler, but the EV side of the vehicle is very interesting though, especially with today’s fuel prices. Keeping it vs selling it, means we would never get ahead $$$ wise, but you still feel better doing your part.
      Regardless, I think this can be an ideal vehicle for city dwellers also. With the limited slip rear differential, there’s some serious capabilities for the vast majority of drivers off-road. They can run all electric during the week, use the hybrid mode all weekend doing their thing in the country, and go back to EV in the city the next week and so on. Not a bad set up at all.

An electric motor is basically copper wires wrapped around magnets and they spin with bal bearings. Not much that can go wrong. That’s why industry uses electric motors in factories an most other applications…they don’t use engines to power much of anything they can get electricity to it.

    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.

    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.

    The questions on my mind are:

    What's the difference between MPG and MPGe?
    Does the cost of the vehicle include the home charger? If not, it should.

      While driving with the battery depleted, the Jeep will function like a “normal” hybrid, capturing energy from regen braking and then using that energy immediately after on acceleration. You can force the engine to stay on to charge the battery, but this is significantly more inefficient than using the engine to directly power the wheels.
      MPGe is the measure of miles per gallon equivalent. So a gallon of gas has 33.7 kWH in it, so MPGe is the miles you can go in that equivalent energy (in this case electricity)
      Based on the Wrangler 4xe, the cost of the vehicle includes a Level 1 home charger (standard 15-amp 110V outlet). In my experience, this will take about 12-14 hours to charge the battery fully depleted to fully charged.

      This is my use case. It seems PHEVs are best for a bimodal driving cycle. 90% of my driving is a 25 mile commute each way (can charge at home and work) but the rest is road trips to camp in the mountains or desert.

    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.

    I'm not sure if Jeep is going to succed with this, but we just got a new well equipped 2022 Summit (Oct 2023). 75k MSRP out the door for 65k (tax, tag, title, etc.). Another $3750 for the tax credit still pending. Lease it and get the full $7500 applied to the lease.
    We're not going to be doing heavy off roading and the tech and "luxury" make it worth it to us. YMMV.

    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.

    I lease a Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Limited(phev) and for me PHEV is way better than a BEV!!! I wanted a Chrysler Town & Country, should be called anyways (Pacifica) Hybrid but I couldn't afford it and I can't afford this as much as I would like to. I drive 25 miles to work, and 100's of miles the rest of the time, so a PHEV works for me and a BEV does not.

    The increase in cost compared to a previous generation jeep will make sure you never save a penny from the fuel efficiency. Also, it would seem that all the complexity built into this new platform would mean more repair bills down the road and possibly lower resale value.

Still have a ‘21 GCL Limited that started giving problems as well. There’s always something wrong with these at least electronically…I can’t even imagine adding electric/hybrid powertrain into the mix.

  • @vanleeaz29445
    @vanleeaz29445 2 роки тому

    These 4xe trucks and SUVs Jeep have an all-electric mode that can drive them for 20+ miles. That charge of the battery comes from plugging in the SUV into a wall outlet or such. Question. After the battery is drained, can or will the battery be recharged by the gas engine, transmission or the EV motor itself so once fully recharged, the SUV can drive on pure EV power again? If not, then what a shame. To me Hybrid means being able to run off full EV, a combination of gas and electric, and gas only. BUT, also re-charge the battery to operate in pure EV. Also, there should be an Inverter Generator type tech similar to the F-150 powerboost to allow running high power electric tools and such. Missed opportunity. Thats why I find the f-150 Powerboost so compelling and only think of it as the only PURE Hybrid vehicle out there if the others are not following this.

    • @dyl421421
      @dyl421421 2 роки тому

      After the battery is drained, the Jeep will act like a hybrid: capturing energy from regen brakes and will store that energy in the battery, but will immediately use it then switch back to gas. In E-Save mode, the Jeep will capture energy and store in the battery and start to charge, favoring the gas engine for power/driving. In E-Save mode, you can also set the battery to charge from the engine, so the vehicle will run the engine specifically to charge the battery, but it should be noted this mode is significantly more inefficient than simply using the engine to provide power directly to the wheels.
