Go the Distance with the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe in Las Cruces, NM

 Sustainability and capability came together for Jeep in its first-ever plug-in hybrid electric Grand Cherokee for the 2022 model year. Dubbed as the “Most Planet-Friendly Vehicle in its Class,” the hybrid is ready to take you and your family on your next adventure. Since the entire Grand Cherokee line was fully redesigned for the 2022 model year, the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe in Las Cruces, NM will most likely arrive for the 2023 model year as a carryover. 

Why Choose a Jeep?

As you may know, Jeep produced the first true four-wheel-drive sport-utility vehicle back in 1949, with the Willys Jeep Station Wagon. The 1984 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) takes the credit for the first SUV in our modern concept of compact SUVs. Since the beginning, Jeep has built a solid reputation for manufacturing some of the finest vehicles in automotive history. Made to overcome nearly any obstacle you can throw at them, Jeep SUVs will go the distance for you, whether it’s rugged mountain terrain or carrying the kids and their gear to soccer practice. 

Specifications of the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe in Las Cruces, NM

Jeep is committed to its roots and authentic reputation and is also committed to the environment and reaching its electrified goal of zero tailpipe emissions. Thanks to this goal, the company engineered and introduced the Wrangler 4xe in 2021, leading to the Grand Cherokee 4xe. These two models are only the first on a list of many more to come. The following includes a few of the GC 4xe mechanical specs:

• 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque
• 6,000 lb 4xe maximum towing capacity
• 25 miles of all-electric range, 440 total range, and 56 MPGe
• Quadra Trac II 4×4 system with two-speed transfer case and 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio
• 47.4:1 crawl ratio

Powertrain

The 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe in Las Cruces, NM includes two electric motors. It also has a 400-volt battery pack, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, and Jeep’s TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. A low-inertia, twin-scroll turbocharger is fitted straight to the cylinder head in this direct-injection engine., the engine’s overall efficiency is improved by utilizing the electric power steering and an electrically driven air-conditioning compressor because these loads are no longer pulling from the engine. 

Good Looks

A more luxurious design was introduced for 2022; however, the ruggedness you’ve come to expect from Jeep remains. The classic seven-slot grille, rectangular headlights, chunky fender flares, and wide air intake are all there, along with slim tail lights in the rear and exhaust pipes that are integrated within the bumper. A tall roofline and boxy lines create a modern, upscale look. The GC 4xe looks even more rugged with tow hooks, big chunky tires, blue accents, and exclusive off-roading touches. 

Inside, you’ll find equal parts technology and luxury. There are three display screens in the front, including one perched in front of the passenger. Flowing lines help the dashboard blend seamlessly into the center console. And despite the tech-heavy interior, there are dials and buttons for the most important tasks, which makes using some systems simpler.  

Many standard safety features include pedestrian detection, auto emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors. Available driver-assist features include lane-centering assist, night vision assist, traffic sign recognition, park assist, a surround-view parking camera, intersection assist, and a head-up display.
