Jeep debuted two new hybrid electric vehicles coming next year, and this is part of the company's shift to electric mobility under its 4xe program for its car production. Two iconic cars are getting a shift towards clean energy, arriving by 2023 as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), namely the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe and the Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe 30th Anniversary Edition
It is 30 years since the release of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee to the world, and the famous adventure SUV will soon take a turn for the better with its 4xe upgrade coming next year. Instead of seeing an internal combustion engine for the Grand Cherokee, it will soon sport a PHEV setup for the 2023 Grand Cherokee 4xe 30th Anniversary edition.

It debuts two new variants for the PHEV from Jeep, with a seven-seater three-row Grand Cherokee L, and the five-seater two-row Grand Cherokee, alongside the electrified Grand Cherokee 4xe, which delivers 56 MPGe and 25 miles of range from its hybrid engine, a first in the trim.
There is another trim coming, and it is with the Special-edition Grand Cherokee 30th Anniversary with the 4xe electrification, integrating the legendary Jeep 4x4 capability.

The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe will soon be available to the public, providing its clean energy take on the famous off-road trim from the company.
Jeep's 4xe
Jeep's EV Day 2021 gave the world information about its plans for the future, and that is the release of new clean energy cars by 2025 to add to its lineup of adventure vehicles. Different cars are already slated in their lineup for its fully-electric shift, alongside multiple hybrids on their existing vehicles that will come soon.
The 4xe division of the company will center on many releases in the future, upgrading known vehicles from its brand to debut as eco-friendly ones, with its stronger shift to renewable technology. The Grand Cherokee is a known variant among its releases, centering on the SUV to bring a family-car experience, as well as its 4x4 drivetrain for adventures.
The company's new focus takes a significant turn for the better, catching up with competitors and rivals in the business in this shift to electric power.
Jeep's Grand Cherokee and Wrangler Willys are getting their 4xe upgrade in next year's release, and while they are not fully pledged EVs, these cars would still play their part in the company's pledge to clean energy. These are the top names in the company's releases, but it is not necessarily letting go of its internal combustion engines in the process of electric mobility.
