What's new
- The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe returns unchanged for 2025
- Part of the fifth Grand Cherokee generation introduced for 2022
Overview
The Grand Cherokee is Jeep's two-row midsize SUV, slotting above the subcompact Compass but below the larger three-row Grand Cherokee L and full-size Wagoneer. The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (pronounced "four-by-e") that we review here is a plug-in hybrid that has the potential to save owners some cash at the gas pump by offering up to 26 miles of electric-only propulsion. Just like the non-hybrid Grand Cherokee, the 4xe comes in a variety of styles that range from rugged to luxurious.

Edmunds spotlight: Treat it like an EV for best results
The Grand Cherokee 4xe might entice shoppers with the promise of improved fuel efficiency, but those gains can only be exploited if you regularly charge the battery. That's because the 4xe's fuel economy is only marginally better when its battery is depleted; it gets an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in combined city and highway driving compared to the non-hybrid's 22 mpg estimate. Charging frequently and using electric power can be cheaper, but make sure to calculate your potential savings because a 4xe costs considerably more to purchase than a standard Grand Cherokee.
Competitors to consider
The Grand Cherokee 4xe's off-road capability — particularly with the Trailhawk version — is appealing, but make sure to check out a few other plug-in hybrid SUVs as well. These include the Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid, Mazda CX-90, Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e and Volvo XC60 T8.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
7/10
How does the Grand Cherokee 4xe drive? The Grand Cherokee 4xe is certainly powerful. At our Edmunds test track, it accelerated from zero to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds — significantly quicker than the V6 Grand Cherokee, which needs a full 8 seconds. Unfortunately the driving experience deteriorates from there. Handling isn't too bad for such a heavyset SUV, but you really feel the weight around each corner and it doesn't match with how athletic it feels in a straight line.
What's most disappointing about the 4xe is its around-town drivability. The hybrid powertrain doesn't blend the power from the engine and electric motor as well as it should, so it can be a challenge to drive this Jeep smoothly in stop-and-go traffic. As consolation, the Grand Cherokee is better than most other SUVs for going off-road, though the 4xe's inconsistent power delivery could be problematic for precise off-road driving.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Grand Cherokee 4xe? This is usually a standout quality for the Grand Cherokee. Alas, the 4xe isn't as impressive. The added weight of the 4xe model affects ride quality to some extent, and you'll feel more bumps in the road than you will in a standard Grand Cherokee. The back seat also seemed less comfortable in our testing, possibly because of thinner seat cushioning that might be related to the battery pack's placement under the seat.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe's climate control does a pretty good job of maintaining a set target temperature, but even with fans at max speed, it didn't quite blow as much air as we expected it to. The one area where the 4xe improves on the standard SUV is interior noise. The hybrid powertrain is a lot quieter and even completely silent when running in EV mode. There is still a fair amount of road noise on the highway, however.

There is still a fair amount of road noise on the highway, however.
Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? There's plenty of space in the Grand Cherokee 4xe, with room for passengers up to 6 feet tall in the reclining second row. It's pretty easy to get in and out too. It does have poor forward visibility in some instances because of the Grand Cherokee's large front pillars and sideview mirrors. Get the available surround-view camera system if you can to help take much of the guesswork out of parking.
Most of the controls are easy to use, but some of the dials are a bit small, and other buttons are positioned at strange angles. Also, certain angles of sunlight can completely obscure the labels for some of the touch-sensitive controls.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? The 4xe has Jeep's latest Uconnect 5 infotainment system. It has crisp graphics, and the available integrated navigation system provides helpful turn-by-turn instructions. We did notice, however, that the screen's upward angle can sometimes catch glare from direct sunlight. Our test vehicle had the standard sound system, and though it wasn't quite as nice as the upgraded unit, we found it plenty adequate.
Smartphone integration comes standard, and along with it a ridiculous number of USB ports. (We counted 12 total in our loaded test car.) The Apple CarPlay wireless connection to our iPhone proved to be pretty buggy, and we experienced frequent disconnections. Thankfully you can connect through a USB cable.
We like the breadth of the Grand Cherokee's suite of advanced driver aids, but they weren't exactly issue-free. The adaptive cruise control is good most of the time but can react too slowly at times, and the lane keeping system oddly seemed less effective than what we experienced in a standard Grand Cherokee we tested previously. The frontal collision system also threw up false positives on a couple of occasions. We're not sure why our experience was so much worse in the 4xe than in the standard model, but it's disappointing to see this inconsistency.

Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? The 4xe retains all of the standard Grand Cherokee's 37.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats due to the battery location under the rear passenger bench. This is an average amount of space for a midsize SUV, but it's a win for a PHEV since the battery usually eats into some of that space. The rear seats split and fold flat for loading large items, and only the tallish load-in height may be the one hurdle for some people.
Storage for smaller items is ample, with plenty of cupholders and spacious center console bins in the first and second rows. Car seat space in the back is ample. There are two sets of anchors on the outboard seats that are easily accessible behind classy leather flaps. The Grand Cherokee 4xe offers excellent towing capability, easily outdoing rivals with a 6,000-pound maximum capacity.

Fuel Economy
6/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates that the Grand Cherokee 4xe will go about 25 miles on all-electric power and an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in combined city/highway driving after that. Both figures are on the low side in the realm of plug-in SUVs. On our mixed-driving evaluation route, we drove just 20 miles before the gas engine clicked on. In real-world driving, we've recorded an average of 22.4 mpg. That's not terrible considering how much power this 4xe makes, but it's also not that impressive for a hybrid.
Value
6.5/10
Is the Grand Cherokee 4xe a good value? The Grand Cherokee 4xe and other plug-in hybrid Jeeps are a bit of a niche in the market. While no plug-in hybrids offer quite the off-road prowess that Jeep does, the Grand Cherokee 4xe fails to fully impress on comfort, drivability and efficiency fronts. The interior build quality of our test model was disappointing, too. Considering the 4xe's significant price premium, we think a regular Grand Cherokee is the better deal. Jeep's warranty coverage is average for the class.
Wildcard
7.5/10
The Grand Cherokee 4xe boasts an imposing exterior design, quick acceleration, and excellent towing and off-road capabilities. That would seem to hit the mark for what a Jeep SUV should be like, but the compromises in other areas significantly dull the Grand Cherokee 4xe's appeal.
Which Grand Cherokee 4xe does Edmunds recommend?
You could get by with a base 4xe. But a big part of the vehicle's potential appeal is its off-road capability. That's why we think it's worth spending more to get the Trailhawk version.

Jeep produces a true luxury SUV
4 out of 5 starsRDWhitaker, 08/22/2023
2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Summit Reserve 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)
I recently leased a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4xe. I chose it for six reasons:
1. It has a comfortable interior that is also aesthetically stunning and very functional.
2. It boasts a wide range of advanced safety and driver assistance features.
3. The McIntosh sound system is hands down the best I have ever heard in a car.
4. It gets 25 miles of all-electric range — … which means that I do almost all of my daily driving on electric power. I’m buying a tank of gas about once every six or seven weeks.
5. I prefer SUVs because of the higher seating position for visibility, the flexibility for luggage and cargo, and four wheel drive for winters (it can snow heavily where I live).
6. Because of a loophole in the revised federal law covering eVehicle incentives, a lease of a Jeep PHEV still qualifies for a full $7500 capital cost reduction incentive.
Positives:
1. The infotainment system is easy to use and allows a remarkable degree of customization. Apple CarPlay works great, wirelessly, and the 10.1 inch screen is fully utilized and well-positioned.
2. The climate controls include physical buttons (including for seat heaters and the heated steering wheel).
3. The driver assistance functions all work well and can be customized.
4. The front seats are fabulously adjustable and the seat massage is highly configurable — and the front passenger seat gets all the same goodies as the driver’s seat.
5. The air suspension provides a smooth ride, but not floaty — even with 21 inch wheels. And the cabin is very quiet, even at highway speeds.
6. Virtually all the electronic controls and features work as described and are easy to figure out.
7. The interior screams refinement (which I realize is a contradiction in terms) and the ambient lighting is gorgeous, and adjustable.
8. The car accelerates like a demon, for an SUV. It is literally faster than the old Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Hemi.
9. There are a number of nice features that don’t get mentioned much in the literature, like automatic high beams, easy access features for the driver, two ports for usb drives holding music (nice for his-and-hers playlists) with both USB-A and USB-C ports, a 120 volt outlet in the rear seat, four zone climate control, remote start with automatic climate setting memory and window defrost and wiper de-icing (great for returning to the car in a commuter lot in the middle of Winter), and washers for the front and rear cameras.
Nits:
1. Shiny black plastic on the center stack. Lots of it. A really, really stupid design choice that looks nice in the showroom but immediately collects scratches and fingerprints when in use.
2. The only way to get the heads-up display is with a rare extra package that includes night vision, which is mostly an expensive toy unless you live in a rural area with lots of deer (where I’m told it is helpful). The heads up display should have been standard on this trim.
3. There is no wireless phone charger — one should be standard.
4. Also, a cargo security cover should have been standard. However, a good after-market version is available for a very reasonable price.
5. The Jeep handles like what it is — a big, heavy SUV — the European SUVs of the same size, like the BMW X5, handle noticeably better.
Bigger issues:
1. The transmission is not well matched with the engine (which is especially disappointing because the same eight speed transmission worked seamlessly with the Hemi). It jerks and pulls at low speed — accelerating from a standing start at a stoplight can be an annoying experience. The four cylinder turbo also whines while accelerating.
2. At the end of the day, you are still interacting with a Chrysler dealer for maintenance and repairs. Anyone who has experienced a Mercedes or BMW dealership will understand what I mean.
Bottom line — This Jeep, at this trim level, is soooo close to being a top-tier production luxury vehicle — it already rivals Mercedes, BMW and Audi SUVs in many respects. If Chrylser could address the nits, and the transmission, it would be a class-leading luxury car. As it is, and given that all cars have shortcomings, it is a great luxury SUV and competitive at its price. This last point is a sore spot for me — I have seen multiple professional reviews saying “It’s so expensive for a Jeep” — that’s definitely “badge snobbery.” This Jeep, in Summit Reserve trim, is as well-designed, well-featured, and as reliable (better than Mercedes and Audi, actually, if you look at the statistics) as the anointed “luxury brands.”
Update:
Now that I have owned the Jeep 4xe for several months, I thought I’d provide an update on my experience, both positive and negative:
1. The car has over all been a joy to own and drive. It is comfortable and quiet.
2. The new Jeep mobile app is a vast improvement over the old UConnect app.
3. Carplay stop working once, and I had to reset the system to get it to re-initialize, which erased all my preferences. I have not had a problem since, and Jeep at least made it easy to perform the reset.
4. One evening recently, a family member was driving the car and ran out of gas (long story). It happened near our home, so I went to assist, and learned three things:
• The 4xe does not behave like other cars when it runs out of gas, if it has already depleted its electric-only range. The dashboard lights up like a pinball machine, with warnings that multiple systems have failed — which is not true. This because when the engine doesn’t run, the car detects all sorts of resulting electrical faults when you press the Start button.
• The estimated “range to empty” is not even close to accurate when the tank is near empty. The car was reporting it still had 35 miles of gasoline range when it stalled.
• The Jeep “Assist” button and the alleged road service is worse than worthless. It is borderline criminal. When you press the “Assist” button, you don’t get connected - you get an infotainment screen asking you what service to connect you to — there are several choices, no clue as to which is the right one, and the whole process only works if the ignition switch is in the “accessory” or “run” status. Then, when you finally figure it out, you get connected to an automated system that asks if you want to buy a subscription to the service you are already subscribed to. Eventually, through perseverance, you get to a live person — who is very clearly sitting somewhere in India and barely speaks English. You are told that “Dispatch” is “seeking to find a provider in your area” and you will be notified when they do. When you hear nothing for 45 minutes and call back, they tell you “Dispatch” is still looking to find a provider – to be clear, not that someone is on the way but it will be a while (which I could understand), but that they are still looking to find somebody at all. Bear in mind this all happened in a Western suburb of Chicago at 9 PM, amid a concentrated population of several million people. There were at least ten 24-hour towing and road service companies within 10 miles of the car’s location (I checked later). When the local police stopped to check on us and offered to help (thank you, Officer Beth), they had roadside assistance there in ten minutes. Whoever at Stellantis signed off on this miserable excuse for a roadside service should be summarily fired for incompetence. I have deducted one star from my prior review because of the miserable "Assist" service.
Great in some ways; cheap in others

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)
The 4xe is our third new Grand Cherokee in four years. We had a 2019, 2021 and the new 2022. We put 38,000 miles on the 2019; 73,000 miles on the 2021, and so far, 14,000 miles on the 4xe. Everything considered, we'd take the older models.
First, the positive. Overall it's a lovely vehicle - - - comfortable, roomy and silver smooth going down the highway. The exterior finish is … impeccable and the sheet metal fits flawlessly. All electric is quiet, smooth and responsive.
And then there's the negative. (1) Engine noise. The worst is the engine noise in the standard 4 cylinder. At times it sounds like a mad bumblebee and at others it's as silent as the desert at midnight. IMO there's no excuse for Jeep to install an engine in a $70K vehicle which sounds like it's ready to explode at any moment. This is pure, plain unacceptable. (2) Center console finish. Next is the black plastic coating on the center console, etc. Cheap, cheap, cheap! For fear of scratching the finish, as soon as we brought the car home we covered the finish with blue 3M masking tape. In our previous models, the center console area had a metallic like finish which was much superior. Why change a good thing? (3) Instrument cluster. The instrument cluster has 20+ bits of information, ranging from the vehicle speed to the mileage range in both gas and electric to the average mpg to the total range to the percent of electric charge available. In short, it's information overload. (4) Lack of tachometer. Where's the tachometer when driving in engine only mode? (5) Engine idle. While in Florida, we met some folks at an Elks Lodge. The outside temperature was 90 deg. Our dog was with us. We left the vehicle running in "engine only" mode with the air conditioning set at 68 degrees. A few minutes later, THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING!!!!!!!! People were alarmed and advised us that the dog was in the car and seemed distressed. I immediately went outside and started the car again, only to have it stop again a few minutes later. In 50 years of driving, I have never had this happen previously. JEEP, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??????? I have a call into Jeep, but a week later they have yet to get back to me. (6) Shifting from park. I have remarked to my wife that this Jeep would not make a good getaway car. Sometimes it doesn't want to shift from Park to Drive or to Reverse in anything resembling a timely manner.
There are other issues, but I don't want this review to become too long. The one thing I would add, however, is that Jeep needs to decide who their customers are and why people want to buy the Grand Cherokee. The thing has become too "refined." It's a JEEP!!! If I wanted a BMW or Land Rover, I'd buy one. And all the talk about what a wonderful off-road vehicle it is - - - who cares? How many people spend $70K and then go off-roading over a mountain pass trail, across rivers, over boulders and careening through the snow?
We will be looking for a new SUV in the next year. Will it be another 4xe or any other Jeep? At this point, we just don't know.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Summit Reserve 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)
I initially fell in love with this car. The thoughtful luxury interior Is absolutely beautiful. We bought the summit reserve for our large family of five. Our children are teenagers and play lacrosse and travel teams so we needed comfort style and fuel economy. We are moving from a 2002 Hummer H2 gas guzzling rust bucket and family 2012 Honda pilot touring that after 100k needs a new … engine to a Honda Accord for my husband’s commute to work. After much research, deliberation and test driving ionic Hyundai, Mustang Mach e GT, Mazda CX-90 and the Grand Cherokee 4xe I decided on the Summit Reserve. Being a plug in electric meant that all my daily needs around town and schools would be met in the electric mode which allowed me to fill the gas tank just once a month if not going on a road trip I loved the fuel economy, and the luxury interior. The two-tone blacktop with blue body was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately early on and driving it it started to reveal that. The technology is not up to par. It started with different glitches in the electrical system error codes, beeps flashings, which sometimes cleared up or sometimes lasted for days the worst of it Was the three instances when while driving the engine turned off! This was incredibly dangerous as I was traveling with the children on a busy highway. The last two times this happened I happened to be alone, it died in the middle of the street and it required a tow back to the dealership where they gave me a loaner. I am beginning the process process with customer care regarding lemon law in New York State. It is an extremely dangerous car the entire program should be recalled.
Jeep does not know hybrid.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Overland 4dr SUV 4WD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)
I researched and actually liked everything about this car... until I got it. My 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe Overland was purchased in Feb. 2024 with less than 1500 miles on it. It arrived with a warning on the dash that said "Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable Fuel & Oil Refresh In Progress." I went to a Jeep forum and learned that I needed to highway drive to keep oil temp above 200 … degrees for at least 20 minutes to complete refresh, which I did after it was fully charged. Unfortunately, before I got it home, my battery was down to zero, so I charged it again. The next morning, on a full charge, I drove IN HYBRID MODE to the nearest city, about 50 miles away, and my battery lost it's full charge before I did any errands. I continued to drive in hybrid mode, although I was only using gas until I went down hill for 7 miles on the way home, at which time the battery charged to less than 5% and was again at 0 when I got home. I called the dealership thinking the battery had gone bad after sitting too long without charge. When they looked at, the battery was perfect! I asked how that could be when it barely regenerates in hybrid mode, and they told me that is how this car works! Thankfully I was within my return window, and I returned it. If you buy this car, do so knowing that you will get 26 miles full electric OR less than 50 miles hybrid before you need to charge again or use all gas. Definitely not worth it - save your money and get the all-gas version. I hope I'm not too bitter to reconsider if Jeep ever changes their engine to fix this because I really liked everything else.
