Finally a review of the “base”model! Thank you sir! Got mine a week ago and loving it! Still a lot to learn and play with, but so happy right now. After the tax rebate and other incentives it was $11k off MSRP.
I got the 2023 gc 4xe summit reserve and drove almost 2k miles so far. I have driven it through multiple types of terrain but mostly city / highway. I’ve been driving it on hybrid and only filling gas (not charging besides regen braking). My mpg falls between 17-19 overall. So about 340 miles to the tank. Jeep advertises 440 combined city / highway on gas only (23 mpg) so this kinda sucks.
You gotta plug it in if you want to really get the benefit of the PHEV
Finally a video of a real owners experience instead of a tester for a week. This is very informative and straight to the point on real-world mileage. Thank you!
Is there anything in particular that you don't like about the vehicle?
Thanks Brian. I still have a hard time finding things I don't like. This has been an amazing vehicle so far. Maybe 3 things that I can point out. I think that adaptive cruise control should be tuned a little so it doesn't accelerate so quickly. The Interior should have a little less piano black plastic around the center console so it doesn't scratch easily. And the cheapest 4xe should be based on the Laredo trim and be more affordable for people. I will be doing more videos and if notice more things I will point them out as I go.
@@NorthWestAutos thank you!
When using a charging station, what is the average price to charge it from empty to full?
@Brian K $5-6 at the station that's why I avoid them. Charging at home cost less than $2 to fully charge.
@@NorthWestAutos great. Thanks!
@@NorthWestAutos How long to fully charge the battery, time wise?????
That's really nice. Thanks for clarifying mpg ☺
No prob. I will be giving a few more updates and a real mpg to compare
You do a lot better than me when it comes to gasoline usage. I own a 2022 Hydro Blue Summit Reserve 4XE. I had to fill up my tank at around 400 miles. Still getting used to all the tech since I never owned a Jeep before. Excellent video 👍.
This has nothing to do with your video but my wife’s middle name is Ivanovna. 😂
That's interesting. You should be getting way better mpg than that. Are you charging your battery regularly?
Pick up on Wednesday.
2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (Base)
I will have different wheels though.
Thx for vid. Do you have any insight on Jeep’s reliability on the 4xe models in general. I believe Jeeps overall reputation on reliability has improved but I am interested to know in general if the short couple years the 4xe has been on market if there have been many reported issues.
Can you do a video on the passenger screen? I don’t seem to understand how to watch videos on it
Thanks for the video great info. What parking cameras does it have? Is it backup only or 360?
Backup only but it also comes with sensors. I'm getting close to 10k miles so I will do one review with more details
Does anyone have an issue with the actual gas gauge being off? I have a full take of gas and it’s not showing 400 miles or whatever 19 gals gets you now a days. I know there is an average between the electric and gas but wondering if anyone else had this happen. Thanks in advance!
I just filled up the tank. It shows 408 gas miles range plus electric range. They are calculating about 21mpg gas engine. Usually, this range doubles and you should be getting real mpg around 50 (depending on your driving and charging habits).
My wife and I are considering one of these and I have seen some conflicting information on it. 61 mpg is oncredible and that is really encouraging. What mode or modes do you drive it most in?
I drive mostly in hybrid mode which uses battery more than gas engine. Mpg really depends on how long your daily commute is and how often you charge your 4xe. You can get even better mpg than 61 if your commute is short and you charge it overnight. I hope this helps
Does it have any lane keep or assist? Looks so awesome!
Yes it comes standard with lane assist, adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitor.
DVD explanation for sure!
Does your mpg drop in hybrid mode with highway driving as opposed to just city driving?
Yes it does. The last time I drove about 300 miles and my mpg was average around 25mpg as expected. Driving under 30miles each way is kind of the sweet spot for 4xe.
Does the vehicle use alot of battery when you run assesories like audio, air conditioning?
AC, heated seats, and accessories increase battery usage by about 5%. It doesn't affect the range by much because you can recover that just with regenerative braking.
Going to be getting mine tonight.
Do you have any regrets or issues?
Hi there. Congrats on your new Jeep. So far this has been an awesome car for me. I think you are making a great decision overall. It saved me a ton of money on gas so far. I leased mine but if no major issues I'll probably end up buying it and keeping it for a long time. Cheers!
Is there a way to shut off the “auto on/off” for the gas engine, when the battery charge is all gone?
Is the change smooth or noticeable when one stomp on gas pedal and cause the gas engine to come on and join in with the EV power?
There's no auto on/off button on 4xe's. Only on gas engines. Change is pretty smooth but you feel the additional power when you press the pedal. It's surprisingly quick.
Is the power noticeably reduced when the battery is low and you're in hybrid mode?
Yes there's a power reduction but it's not too noticeable. The hybrid battery always keeps a certain level of charge.
Are u still liking the 4xe
Yeah I am still happy with my 4xe. I didn't have any headaches or major problems (other than flat tire lol). Mpg is awesome.
@@NorthWestAutos Whats the MPG?
@@z10n19 miles per gallon 👍
Real world economy, that's a laugh.
under 25 mile commutes you would use no gasoline at all.
Colossal Useless Machine with only 21 Miles of EV Range! JMHO’
It’s perfect for me. My commute is 10 miles each way. Gas engine rarely on. Rarely fill it. Just plug in at night.
Leather seats are ridiculous to have in an environmentally conscious vehicle. Personally I would prefer cloth seats or vinyl or perhaps a combination of the two.
Actually they aren’t leather in the base. I have one. It’s pleather but pretty darn nice. Nicer than a lot of the leather I’ve had.
