Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee: their electric launch date is known!  Auto Plus news in your smartphone Auto Plus news in your inbox

Where? Jeep is at the forefront of electrification ? It’s coming! In 2022, the brand unveiled its first voltaic model: Avenger. A small B-segment crossover with the look of a mini-adventurer, but still 100% in the brand’s stylistic DNA, despite significant technological changes. Acclaimed by critics, he was even chosen European Car of the Year at the Brussels Motor Show in January 2023 ! Since then, it has been gradually entering the European market: units destined for France have come online and we are already starting to see them on the road. But the future of cars, including Jeep, is 100% electric the brand is not going to stop there…

The jeep accelerates on an electric vehicle

Two new products have already been announced: the Recon and the Wagoneer S. Still in the concept stage, their future is starting to become clearer… The first will be a D-segment electric 4X4 equipped, according to the brand, with the same off-road capabilities that have made it famous. All-wheel drive with central differential lock, increased ground clearance, several driving modes adapted to different surfaces (“Jeep Selec Terrain”). Autonomy? Approximately 450-500 kilometers. A second, much larger type of SUV will come to compete with the Range Rover Velar : the same softened design, the same sporty look, without any off-road pretensions. We are waiting Wagoneer S has a range of about 600 kilometers, or even further. But what about its historic models: the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee? It becomes clearer…

700 kilometers and 600 horsepower for the electric Wrangler

After weeks of strikes in the United States, Stellantis (of which Jeep is part) managed to reach an agreement with the UAW, the auto union responsible for closing many of the group’s plants. An opportunity for the brand to start talking a little more about the launch dates of these two models in the electric version. For the Grand Cherokee, it will be in 2027, not earlier 2028 for Wrangler ! It will be based on the STLA Large platform and have a 101 kWh battery for a range of up to 700 kilometers. On the engine side, according to initial information, we expect a power level of up to up to 600 horsepower! Secondly, a version with a thermal expander will appear in the assortment. You still have (a lot of) time thermal Wrangler to buy eventually.
