  • The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a midsize luxury SUV that has been in production for more than 30 years. Its fifth generation has arrived in European showrooms, but only the 4xe version. That means a plug-in hybrid. Can you can have an American off-road legend and drive silently off the beaten path? Let’s find out.

    I just got this Jeep as a rental with 7k miles on it. For the first time in my life, I'm thinking to return a rental. Probably the worst car I've ever driven for normal road driving, not even comparable to say a Jeep Wrangler. The combination of the gas and electric motor is beyond jerky. It's like they both have a will of their own, and Jeep has done exactly nothing to combine them, completely detached from any driving inputs. Add to this the suspension which makes you feel like you are on a boat. You CANNOT and I repeat CANNOT drive this car smoothly. Maybe if you only use electric power it works, but when the battery is near-empty and the car has to switch between the two engines the whole time, it's beyond bad. Just so you know: I'm driving large SUVs regularly, and this is my 4th Jeep. I usually test-drive vehicles for extended periods of time (weeks).

  • @allanlees299
    @allanlees299 2 місяці тому

    Some obvious points: One, you can't simply combine the various power output numbers to get a grand total because that's not what is actually delivered as usable power; Two, the 4xe is useless for off-road work because the charge vanishes rapidly and then you're left with a woefully under-powered 2 liter engine that simply can't push the Jeep through mud or sand. The 4xe is a marketing package, not a proper off-road capable vehicle. So it's fine for a trip to the supermarket in the rain, but utterly useless as a real offroad vehicle. Imagine trying to power a winch with the 2L engine.... very sad, and let's hope Jeep puts the straight-six into at least the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk before too much longer. Otherwise Jeep will cease to be a credible provider of offroad vehicles.

    • @MarekDrivesENG
      @MarekDrivesENG  2 місяці тому +1

      1. As long as you're not stuck in mud, but simply crawling along a track, you're not using much of the electric energy, but you're getting benefits of extra torque.
      2. If you're dune bashing, the petrol engine produces so much excess energy, it may just as well recharge the traction battery.
      3. Since when does the winch run off of the engine? The winch is connected to the car's 12V battery, and 2L is plenty. Don't forget they're putting the same engine with and without the PHEV stuff in the Wrangler, and somehow I don't see Wrangler folks crying they can't winch themselves out, because they don't have a V6 under the bonnet.
      Speaking of which, the last time Grand Cherokee was powered by a straight six was 20 years ago.
