I'll gladly help you get the doors off a GC... Admittedly, they're a little harder to put back on.

I took a 2005 Mazda Tribute places Mazda never dreamed it would go. After I destroyed it, I got an 08 Rubicon. Man, that CG 4xe has some awesome tech in it! Makes me wish I wasn't so hooked on taking the doors off/roof back, because I would be sold.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe comes with the same 17 kWh battery as the Wrangler 4xe.

They also share the same 2.0-liter turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. But the EPA documents show the Grand Cherokee 4xe gets a combined range of 26 miles, that's 5 more than the Wrangler 4xe.

That's a good amount more and it has me wondering what else separates the two.

Is there anything else you have noticed?

Main difference has to be you’re not walking to your car every single time excited to drive with a GC. As a previous owner of 3 GCs (2012 Overland being all time favorite) and now 2 Wranglers, the 4xe is in a class of its own

4xe isn't really in a class of it's own when it comes to comparing to a Grand Cherokee 4xe. Especially the TH model, better riding, more range, more flexible 4x4 system (rear elsd that works like a locker and can be used in 4 high)
I'd take a 4xe Grand Cherokee any day because it can tow much more than the wrangler and that's why I still have my Grand Cherokee is for towing and longer trips. It rides so much nicer and is far more comfortable, but I could still go offroad if I need to.

The Wrangler and GC aren't in the same class. The Wrangler is a compact, convertible SUV with removable doors. The GC is a midsize SUV (with an available V8). While both have their benefits they're still very much different classes. The only other vehicle that can be compared to a Wrangler is a bronco... And since no hybrid the Wrangler really is in a class of it's own. But I'm with you i also like the GC; have had two and just bought a long wheel base for the wife a few months ago.

I was speaking from a 4xe standpoint, other than electric they are very different each has their strength and weakness, but my Grand Cherokee is better set to offroad out of the box vs my Sahara High Altitude but I didn't buy the wrangler for offroading either

Gotcha!

I read somewhere that people interested in a Wrangler are often considering getting a boat instead. I get that because the Wrangler and GC are both 4xe's, it would seem on the surface a logical thing to compare the two. But if anything is made clear by this thread, other than the 4xe powertrains, the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee are wildly different vehicles with huge trim option differences, frankly beyond comparison.

 

[Navvet26]

Better aero, a fixed roof, and independent suspension are the obvious big ones. I wonder how well it will sell compared to other cushy PHEV SUVs, unlike the Wrangler there are quite a few choices in that segment.

The volvo xc 90 recharge offers a third row and 35 miles full electric range for the same money. But the Jeeps capability and interior features are hard to pass up

I’ve seen a few points discussing owning Grand Cherokee’s versus the Wrangler 4xe. I own a 2013 GC Overland - saddle brown leather interior, all the features, only 82K miles. It’s been great. Of course for months and months I’ve wanted a Wrangler and after test driving a couple 4xE’s in recent weeks and doing more and more research, living here in Indianapolis with a short daily commute, I’m pretty sure this is the route I want to go with resale still high for my GC, tax credits for the 4xe + a Chrysler family discount I can use. But, I’m still kind of stuck on how nice my 2013 GC Overland is. For someone who has gotten more used to the luxury and quieter feel of the GC, what else should I consider as I think about the Wrangler 4xe? I‘m looking at the High Altitude and would plan to add a bit larger A/T tire and maybe a few other things, but know it’s a Wrangler and wouldn’t feel like a GC. Just kind of torn! Unless I should stop thinking about it!

4xe's & Pacifica Hybrid are overpiced/overweight pigs with pathetic electric range...built strictly to lower Corporate Average Fuel Economy. Get on the Stellantis PHEV bandwagon if it makes ya feel good...waste your cash on obsolete technology.

 

[Mllcb42]

with pathetic electric range...

Their range is fairly standard among comparable vehicles. Not the worst, not the best.

They aren't particularly good ranges if you're using a rav 4 prime as your comparison point, but that's not a comparable vehicle.

The RAV prime achieves that range being a smaller car, with a bigger battery. It is rated at 42 all electric miles. But as Mllcb42 noted, it is not in the same category. It is a smaller car in every angle:

RAV Prime: 33.2 cargo height x 39.4 cargo min width x 40.0 cargo length behind rear seat = 30.2 cubic feet. Jeep has 37.7 cubic feet. That computes to less 20% cargo volume for RAV Prime. Jeep has 40% less range than the RAV. Unfortunately these relationships are not linear but are not horrendously off.

Hey just curious which vehicle did you order?

I despise Toyotas.

 

[Mllcb42]

I despise Toyotas.

So what are you using as your measuring stick for range? Most every suv on the market is +/- 5 miles of the grand cherokee 4xe range.

 

[Jake22]

Curious which vehicle you ordered?

I'd never contemplate a Jeep PHEV even if they were eligible for employee price. I'll stick with the 3.6 'til they have a solid EV.

Ok so just to be clear you joined the 4xe forums just to troll and talk shit? Not downing you for it but just trying to distill your reason for being here down to its base element.

 

[Trailhawker]

This is my biggest reasoning for the GC 4xe over the Wrangler 4xe, while im here feeding the trolls I might as well answer the threads question. I need to tow my boats and trailers and the Wranglers towing capacity just doesnt do it for me!

He does it across multiple forums, not just here. Not how I'd spend my day, but to each their own.

You'll be thrilled to receive your '22 4xe...someday. 😴
