2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE
Overview
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is proof positive that Jeep is committed to electric vehicles. Only the Jeep Wrangler 4xe tops it as America’s best-selling plug-in hybrid SUV. This mid-sized, two-row sports ute ably demonstrates that electric vehicles are not limited to short, in-city commutes, but have more than enough power and range to serve as weekend warriors. The Grand Cherokee 4xe is just as rugged as its gasoline-powered siblings, even the ones with eight cylinders. It certainly helps that the 4xe offers the driver the ability to switch among three power modes: fully electric, fully gas-powered, or hybrid. This mid-sized SUV also competes well in the luxury category, with even the base model equipped with decidedly upscale cabin features.
Who’s It For?
The driver who wants power without guilt and ruggedness with refinement. The 4xe will appeal to the folks who crave the adventure of the road less traveled—but also need a family car with a great safety rating. This SUV earned the Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and received five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for overall safety. Buyers can expect to pay top dollar, but the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is nothing if not diverse and offers a lot of bang for the buck.

Real World Performance
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe manages to combine diverse performance factors, a combination all too rare on SUVs and electric vehicles in general. It has lots of power, without heavy road noise. Despite its generous size and ground clearance (up to 10.9 inches), it’s both zippy, with fleet acceleration, and stable, with tight handling on curves. The Quadra-Lift suspension system ensures a comfortable ride on both highways and unpaved roads. When confronted with quickly changing travel conditions or priorities, the driver can select the proper mode for maximum handling, fuel- and battery-conservation; all-electric, gas-only, or hybrid.
