About a year after launching its first-ever plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, Jeep is anticipating the launch of its second PHEV and its first-ever plug-in electric hybrid Grand Cherokee called the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. The Grand Cherokee 4xe has already garnered much attention because the standard Jeep Grand Cherokee is the No.1 selling SUV and the most awarded North American SUV.

This efficient combination produces 375 horsepower and an incredible 470 pound-feet of torque, all while offering the legendary 4×4 capabilities of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds!
