Happy Friday everyone! With specs that rivals other PHEV luxury SUV's like the BMW X5 PHEV, do you feel Jeep has what it takes to compete with some of the best European luxury SUV's?
Yes it absolutely does. Because this is one of the best luxury PHEVs on sale The interior is out of this world. So is the tech. Even if it’s expensive it’s worth it Jokes like “you want to spend 70K on a Chrysler product” is a thing of the past because this vehicle is worth it
I like mine with rebates and affiliate it was 11k off sticker. Try getting anything at a discount. It has great tech and one of the the nicest interior of any car in it's class. The one thing that I hate is the 4 banger its not very pleasant to listen to. But at least it's a turbo.
I feel like this new jeep would be worth it if they took like 8 or 10k off the prices. They have made the interior nicer and the exterior looks great. The 4xe starting at 60k is absurd. The price is too high and the jumps between trims is too big for not as much differentiation. Especially with that old 2.0L. I wanted to replace my 14 Overland, but it's like a 20k+ premium to get the same trim and the EV range is eh.
totally agree. the fact that this car (in Summit Reserve config) is going to be in the upper 80's with the overland trim is ridiculous. Just saw that a new loaded sequoia is 99k. suv's have become completely unaffordable. used to be you could get a lot of car for 55-60k. now its 80-100k which most people can't (and should buy) afford.
Leave those cars on the lot. It’s utterly ridiculous that these SUVs are this expensive. Also these are cars that don’t have the reputation of being long lasting. 🤦🏾♂️
@Devin Young, you and I are saying the same thing, definitely $8 or $10k off the price tag for this trim to make it worthwhile. The prices are too close to Range Rover Sport price point, and personally I'd go Range Rover. I foresee Stellanis offering a lot of discounts and rebates to move these Jeep GCs that are Overland trim and up, I think the Overland 4xe should be $60k max! @Jamaul Joseph, Exactly! Let the dealership keep them things, I had 2 Jeep GCs, one was a complete lemon and had a complete failure @ under 7k miles, the second one was great, I liked it a lot, however like you said, not a great reputation for this price point.
the problem with the current administration is that they made the 7500 tax credit basically exclusive for Jeeps and Teslas. RV also remain stupidly high. Other companies prices will drop but Jeeps will not.
Soooo, this is a hybrid that gets 23 ish mpg……same as v6 ? The electric part gives you 26 miles until it’s charged again, correct ? Doesn’t make sense to me. Am I wrong? You get 50 mpg e one time, until it’s charged again…….otherwise you are getting 23 mpg ?
No, you’re not wrong. I would just get the V6 instead and not have to worry about the battery component (assuming you plan to own the vehicle for 8+ years). As a 2021 Rav4 Prime owner, 42+ miles of EV range & 40+ in hybrid mode with a combined 94 MPGe looks excellent compared to this Jeep model.
I lease my summit 4xe I get close to 28mpg on the highway on just gas. The v6 get crap city milage and is slow. With the tax credit it's not much more expensive to get the 4xe.
For some perspective, I just bought one. I charge it at home overnight. The computer shows the total range at a bit over 300 miles after driving it 2.5 hours with no battery charge from the dealer. It takes about 12 hours to charge on 120v, but then uses little to no gas in hybrid mode. The estimated range hasn't gone down because the battery is charged. The 23 mpg only comes into play if the battery is drained. Drive it with a charged battery for less than 25 miles and the gas engine comes on for a few seconds while accelerating.
I love the way full screen navigation looks in the dashboard. Problem is no one uses GPS anymore except through CarPlay. Need someone to incorporate that there now
It's not based on on the alfa Romeo Giorgio platform. They considered that platform but determined it wouldn't work for the GC. They do have some common suspension components though.
True. It is actually on a dedicated platform. It uses a handful of components from the Giorgio. But that platform did not allow Jeep to have the offroad prowess that thr GC is known for nor allow the packaging for the 4Xe.
They can wrap it in another texture if that’s preferred. Kinda like buying a house you really like but you hate the colors of the bedrooms… paints solves it all and is a simple fix.
Ummm 11:02 correction.. it IS leather wrapped in summit reserve trims and you’ve shown us this. So “it being a grand Cherokee” has nothing to do with that. You’re just in a as you would say a “plebeian” trim. 🤷🏽♀️
Crazy how that's true when my old 2009 Grand Cherokee Overland was the top trim level (not including the SRT-8) and had genuine woodgrain in the interior but now is the plebian trim level lol.
@@Stressless2023 exactly !! The overland has had real wood since in 2011-21 as well so I’m questioning if he’s right about this being fake wood. Very well could be because if there being a higher trim available but even in older models they had real wood in both the overland and summit so I’d have to do some digging.
Do you know if the gas is 87 octane or higher? Manual says 87 is fine but 91 recommended for peak performance. I get more like your second run using 87 octane.
Thanks for telling us that the real world MPG is = or < than the pentastar v6 because This is a little out of my price range, might end up with the v6 and feeling like I'm going to be missing out on better highway range on long trips.
As someone who has owned this for 7 months, the biggest issue with this SUV is that inline 4. An absolute mismatch with the truck and sounds awful. And the battery loses about 10 miles of EV range during the winter.
What kind of acceleration numbers would this vehicle get if the Plug-In system had run out of power, and it was ONLY running on the 2.0L Inline 4 cylinder engine?
That's not how PHEVs work. The hybrid system is always available so the power is always available. When it "runs out" it just can't do pure EV driving.
The e-motor is always available unless you're flooring it constantly. The battery is never fully depleted (unless crazy driving). It's how PHEVs work. I also own one so know by experience.
@@1bluensxI have a Trailhawk 4XE and can also confirm it always has full horsepower and torque on an empty EV battery. In fact, draining the battery and losing access to electric-only mode essentially puts it in sport mode (engine plus electric motors at all times) which is faster than the standard hybrid mode. Hybrid mode has a second of lag time if you hammer it from a stop while it decides to kick on the engine for the boost, obviously sport mode doesn't since it's always on. Same with a dead ev battery. When you drive you can watch the green (electric) and blue (gas) bars on the dash. They rise and fall to show you what's being used. Dead ev battery still has just as much green power as a fully charged battery. The ev charge is only used to keep the engine off.
I looked into these and there are gov't incentives that should also be considered. I've been given a quote for 675 / month after gov't incentives and up front lease cost.....which would be much less than buying one. just an option to consider.
They're apparently not selling well and are giving some attractive incentives and lease options. I'm going to consider if I can get these at a $500 a month payment
REALLY? Never heard that from grand Cherokee. It’s always been a solid car I didn’t even find that with the new one. And I’m very very very picky on my door feel specifically. I’ll have to recheck.
In review, unless I missed it, no mention of interior width, nor of seat features of front passenger (think 4xe is identical on both front seats). Pls save a narriage and in future spend 60 seconds on all seat features. Thanks
It'd be hard to decide, the jeep is very nice when fully loaded and would get the Federal Tax credit, however, for the price, I'd consider buying the BMW X5 50e. The Beemer has a bullet proof inline 6 with more EV range and comes standard with air suspension. I'm wary of a Turbo 4cyl in such a large heavy SUV, the turbo is working extra hard when it's ICE is running. The BMW, has a larger engine, so, the ICE won't put as much strain on the turbos....And from renting the Grand Cherokee 4Xe, the transition from EV to hybrid mode is abrupt and has some hesitation unlike with the BMW X5 45e, which I've rented as well, the transition is seamless and almost unnoticeable, and with the 50e, the charging time has improved tremendously.
You’re just a hater. Jeep is stepping up significantly lately. Their cars are beautiful and their interiors are often out of this world. Jeep even trying to compete w bmw shows jeeps not messing around. Even Hyundai Kia are going significantly upmarket to compete w the Germans and they really show
@@naveenthemachine I'm not a hater, Jeep does make wonderful vehicles, but just like I how I say with regards to Hyundai and Kia, they are still Hyundai and Kia...
Everybody trying to go up market or either trying to sell you a loaded model that cost too much it's less and less options for the regular buyer you're going to have to go smaller less equipped or go used because the prices of new cars high as giraffe pussy 🤣🤣

an excellent vehicle but the only thing I don't like is that it is a plug hybrid now if it were a hybrid system it would be much better because the plug hybrid is a double expense
As someone behind the scenes that hauls all there lemon law units and they have more than any other auto maker , this will be another unreliable pile of problems in my opinion
not everybody wants to drive a euro luxury brand. some people want to be a little bit more low key. i love BMWs but i don't want people to think i'm an asshole for example so i'm currently driving a Volvo instead. to me the fact this SUV doesn't have a BMW, Porsche or Range Rover badging is a plus not a minus.
Modern cars are getting so tiring. Generic digital guage cluster, big iPad lookin screen in the center dash with gloss black plastic surrounding it. Convex dashboard bulging in the center. They are literally all the same.
The price for Electric can’t be justified. It would take years to get that money back in savings of Gas, and who knows how long that engine will last since it’s their first attempt at making an Hybrid
@@MattCC16Gaming lmao it not hard to understand dude , you pay a premium for electrified cars , and the savings you get vs a regular gas car , you aren't probably ever going to break even
@@VaunShiz the average cost of gas for a car can be a few grand a year. Assuming you aren’t getting a crazy expensive performance car, you can definitely break even and save.
Could go with the brands with cachet, but you'l never see those actual being taken off a paved highway. If you can get some value out of this with shorter trips and mix in offload adventures, seems like a good value, especially because they are already discounted.
I have the GC 4xe. I laughed at my buddy with his x5 stuck in the snow yesterday. Pathetic off road performance in that vehicle..BMW is Great for mall cruising tho.
I genuinely do not understand the benefits of a plug in hybrid over a normal hybrid or just a more fuel efficient engine. This cars max range (470miles) divided by its fuel capacity (19 gallons) is literally under 25mpg, nothing about that is impressive when the ecodiesel it used to have got up to 30mpg and over 700miles in range and even the 3.6V6 gets up to 26mpg and a range of almost 600miles (23 gallon tank) plus that's considerably cheaper, uses regular gas where the phev uses premium. I don't see any benefit to this especially for the price.
It's all about the ability to plug in each night. If so, it's possible to go weeks if not months without using gas. But your point stands if plugging in regularly is a challenge.
The lowest priced Grand Cherokee 4xe with 20" wheels comes in at around $65,000, which is not cheap but substantially less than this model. To qualify for the $7500 federal rebate the retail price of an SUV needs to be less than $80,000.
I'd swap out those crappy Goodyear all terrain tires for Yokohama all terrain tires. A vehicle in that price range should never come with Goodyear's from the factory in my opinion.
Congratulations🎊 esteemed subscriber you have been selected amongst this week's giveaway kindly send a telegram message to claim your gift 🎁 thank you.
I like the 4xe, but the price is inflated. I’d only save $300 per month going from my current car & trading down to one of these; not worth it. Maybe used in a couple years.
@@naveenthemachine I'm sure the trim specs out nicely, it's just that Jeep has long been known to cut corners on the interior and ride quality (even on non-offroad focused suvs). Consider how expensive RAM has become, and then factor in making the vehicle more capable. Jeep knows they can't compete in the luxury class so they pick tooth and nail to keep the majority of their offerings at a price more people can afford.
@@jmd11185 if you look at the summit trims of the grand Cherokee you’ll be blown away. There are Asian luxury brands who can’t afford to come anywhere near this
@@naveenthemachine Right but you can also buy a freaken Mazda for $40k that doesn't have hard touch plastic and is build more solidly. Jeep is Jeep that's just the way it's always going to be. Plastics make it possible.
This is so disappointing from all levels. These are throw away cars and the 4 cylinder engine is not an engine I would choose. I rather get the Hemi V8 and these new vehicles are only making the older models that much more collectable. Plus the old mercedes platform was the best!
I wanted to replace my 2020 GC. but the 6 cylinder sucks. Way under powered. And when this 4 cylinder e motor isn’t charged, the power from the 4 is dismal
I am in the market for a PHEV. However I live in South Africa and we have planned black outs of 6 -10 hours per day.. I need a car that can power my home and or shop 😊
I have the 3.6 Penstar version of the Overland, and no way in hell that 2.0L engine will be enough for this SUV, be careful I'd stay clear of this thing. You're not feeling the electric motor by power barking it, you're just giving the turbo time to spool up the charge for enough boost. This power plant is an abortion
Living in South Africa we have planned black outs of 6 -8 hours per day.. I need a PHEV that can turn into a generator and run my home and or shop. Pity
These new jeeps are junk !! Love the original jeep with 4.0 inline 6 runs well over 200,000 miles and easy to repair. Unlike these ridiculous new vehicles that you have to take in to just get your oil changed ! No thanks
Happy Friday everyone! With specs that rivals other PHEV luxury SUV's like the BMW X5 PHEV, do you feel Jeep has what it takes to compete with some of the best European luxury SUV's?
Yes, and if they did the 4x4 right it will sell to ‘city’ jeep enthusiasts.
Yes it absolutely does. Because this is one of the best luxury PHEVs on sale
The interior is out of this world. So is the tech. Even if it’s expensive it’s worth it

Great, detailed review of 4xe. Thanks.
PS all review "hate" piano black -- why do most makers still use it? assuming customers dislike it too.
It's cheap to make a single glossy plastic they can put in everything. Most likely cost saving for jeep

Only if it did closer to 40-45 miles on electric only. Most all others are in that range by now.

As someone behind the scenes that hauls all there lemon law units and they have more than any other auto maker , this will be another unreliable pile of problems in my opinion
GUESS I got Lucky, over 85K miles and not one problem.
@@Qugie 75K Not a problem here either... my first Grand had 97k no issues
We have almost 40k on our Wrangler 4xe and only 2 warranty issues (dead USB port and the passenger power window switch).

not everybody wants to drive a euro luxury brand. some people want to be a little bit more low key. i love BMWs but i don't want people to think i'm an asshole for example so i'm currently driving a Volvo instead. to me the fact this SUV doesn't have a BMW, Porsche or Range Rover badging is a plus not a minus.
Modern cars are getting so tiring. Generic digital guage cluster, big iPad lookin screen in the center dash with gloss black plastic surrounding it. Convex dashboard bulging in the center. They are literally all the same.
And on top of that all of them are getting expensive ...
@@jermainec2462 They're giving us plastic for the price of gold!!
Head back to Mayberry grandpa.
@@XX-166 It's a lot more than just grandpas that are getting tired of these bland tasteless cars. I'm 24.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL Overland 4XE!
6:34 I serisouly don't understand why Jeep has chosen this jey fob design, the previous gen key fob introduced in 2014 is way better looking....
That leather is already wearing. Geez
And leather is not supposed to wear since lots of journalists are driving it
😂😂😂😂
The price for Electric can’t be justified. It would take years to get that money back in savings of Gas, and who knows how long that engine will last since it’s their first attempt at making an Hybrid
Electricity is cheaper than gas… not sure what you are saying.
@@MattCC16Gaming lmao it not hard to understand dude , you pay a premium for electrified cars , and the savings you get vs a regular gas car , you aren't probably ever going to break even
@@VaunShiz the average cost of gas for a car can be a few grand a year. Assuming you aren’t getting a crazy expensive performance car, you can definitely break even and save.
It's got a tiny 4 cyl in it and electric motors helping it and it still gets a regular V6 mpgs .... 🤦
Keep lots of money available when the warranty expires. It will cost you big
Could go with the brands with cachet, but you'l never see those actual being taken off a paved highway. If you can get some value out of this with shorter trips and mix in offload adventures, seems like a good value, especially because they are already discounted.
Not True! You cannot buy a BMW X5 plug-in at the same price as this Grand Cherokee. The real price of the BMW is not the same.
I have the GC 4xe. I laughed at my buddy with his x5 stuck in the snow yesterday. Pathetic off road performance in that vehicle..BMW is Great for mall cruising tho.
Mazda cx70 is coming soon I will wait for the Mazda cx70.
Size wise this would be more comparable to the cx90
that mcintosh logo on the dash is so bad...completely destroys the "upscaleness" of this car.
@Redline Reviews the L is in the 4xe too isn't it?
No. Only the 2 row for now (22/23)
Pretty nice but too expensive IMO
But it’s worth it. You can do much worse for a similar price
Name a vehicle in the category that’s 30k.
@@XX-166 base Tacoma, a base 4Runner or a Kia telluride
@@naveenthemachine no comparison and the telluride has the GDI engine.. garbage.
I would buy one today if they GOT RID OF THE HIGH GLOSS BLACK PLASTIC on the center stack!
Wrap it in a different color or texture Forrest
I need a 3rd Row.
They make the L for that just not in a 4xe
I genuinely do not understand the benefits of a plug in hybrid over a normal hybrid or just a more fuel efficient engine. This cars max range (470miles) divided by its fuel capacity (19 gallons) is literally under 25mpg, nothing about that is impressive when the ecodiesel it used to have got up to 30mpg and over 700miles in range and even the 3.6V6 gets up to 26mpg and a range of almost 600miles (23 gallon tank) plus that's considerably cheaper, uses regular gas where the phev uses premium. I don't see any benefit to this especially for the price.
It's all about the ability to plug in each night. If so, it's possible to go weeks if not months without using gas. But your point stands if plugging in regularly is a challenge.
Forcing the engine to do a cold start every time you turn it on would be a big negative for me. Totally unnecessary wear and tear.
The lowest priced Grand Cherokee 4xe with 20" wheels comes in at around $65,000, which is not cheap but substantially less than this model. To qualify for the $7500 federal rebate the retail price of an SUV needs to be less than $80,000.
the limit for SUV and trucks is $80k not $70k
@@RHPDaddy Yes, you’re right. I fix.
I'd swap out those crappy Goodyear all terrain tires for Yokohama all terrain tires. A vehicle in that price range should never come with Goodyear's from the factory in my opinion.

I like the 4xe, but the price is inflated. I’d only save $300 per month going from my current car & trading down to one of these; not worth it. Maybe used in a couple years.
I'm glad Jeep has finally gone away from the old Mercedes chassis. It's about time..

It is not. That is the button for the automated parking assist
Nothing does cheap quite like Jeep.
If you think this is cheap look at the summit reserve trim. The summit trim is significantly better
@@naveenthemachine I'm sure the trim specs out nicely, it's just that Jeep has long been known to cut corners on the interior and ride quality (even on non-offroad focused suvs). Consider how expensive RAM has become, and then factor in making the vehicle more capable. Jeep knows they can't compete in the luxury class so they pick tooth and nail to keep the majority of their offerings at a price more people can afford.
@@jmd11185 if you look at the summit trims of the grand Cherokee you’ll be blown away. There are Asian luxury brands who can’t afford to come anywhere near this
@@naveenthemachine Right but you can also buy a freaken Mazda for $40k that doesn't have hard touch plastic and is build more solidly. Jeep is Jeep that's just the way it's always going to be. Plastics make it possible.
Shit already started fall out .
Might be worth the money if the ugly $5 piano black console was replaced with woodgrain.
First.
Jeep can put it in the pipe and smoke it for $75k. Their first gen of hybrid. Seems like nothing but trouble.

The wheels are not great. They look like daisies. Should be tougher looking wheels.
I went with an x5 540i over this. It was close.
Jeep quality is bad. Better buy the extended warranty.
75K for what?????????
10:49 And that is why Jeeps are generally garbage.
This is so disappointing from all levels. These are throw away cars and the 4 cylinder engine is not an engine I would choose. I rather get the Hemi V8 and these new vehicles are only making the older models that much more collectable. Plus the old mercedes platform was the best!
I wanted to replace my 2020 GC. but the 6 cylinder sucks. Way under powered. And when this 4 cylinder e motor isn’t charged, the power from the 4 is dismal
I am in the market for a PHEV. However I live in South Africa and we have planned black outs of 6 -10 hours per day.. I need a car that can power my home and or shop 😊
I have the 3.6 Penstar version of the Overland, and no way in hell that 2.0L engine will be enough for this SUV, be careful I'd stay clear of this thing. You're not feeling the electric motor by power barking it, you're just giving the turbo time to spool up the charge for enough boost. This power plant is an abortion
Living in South Africa we have planned black outs of 6 -8 hours per day.. I need a PHEV that can turn into a generator and run my home and or shop. Pity
These new jeeps are junk !! Love the original jeep with 4.0 inline 6 runs well over 200,000 miles and easy to repair. Unlike these ridiculous new vehicles that you have to take in to just get your oil changed ! No thanks
