It’s only been a couple of years since Jeep unveiled its first plug-in hybrid vehicle. In 2020, the legendary auto brand showed off its Wrangler 4xe for the first time. It could travel up to 25 miles on electricity before its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine would step in and take over from there. At the time, Jeep also announced that it was planning to start producing more advanced electric vehicles (EVs), but it was unclear how soon they’d begin manufacturing them.
As it turns out, Jeep didn’t take very long to fulfill its promise to produce more EVs. Their 2023 Jeep EV lineup features two vehicles that’ll be available in the U.S. and one that’ll be limited only to Europe. If you’re interested in buying a new Jeep sometime soon, you should learn about the available Jeep EVs and keep an eye on what else Jeep plans to release shortly. Find out more about the 2023 Jeep EV lineup below.
Jeep Recon
Some people have worried about whether or not Jeep’s all-electric vehicles are still going to be every bit as rugged as they’ve always been in the past. Jeep is hoping that the Jeep Recon will put those concerns to bed. It will have the same Jeep four-wheel-drive system that people have come to know and love over time. It will also have many of the usual features found in Jeeps, such as the Selec-Terrain traction management system and e-locker axle technology.
The only difference between this Jeep and the gas-powered one is its battery pack. Jeep has been tight-lipped on how big this battery pack will be, but the expectation is that it will be able to provide a range of somewhere around 400 miles. That’s a much better range than you’ll find in many other electric SUVs, and it’s also more than enough to take the Jeep Recon out to wherever you’d like to take it without worrying about it running out of juice.
Jeep Wagoneer S
While Jeep is specifically designing the Recon for those who’d like to push it to the limit while going on adventures, the company’s taking a different approach with the Jeep Wagoneer S. It’s more of a luxury vehicle that also doubles as a high-performance SUV that can handle many of the same things that get thrown at other Jeeps.
Jeep also appears to be pushing to make the Wagoneer S one of the most capable electric SUVs on the road. It will come with a motor that can produce a bump of more than 600 horsepower and a battery pack to help it achieve a range of 400 miles. The Wagoneer S will also be one of the most beautiful vehicles in Jeep’s 2023 lineup of EVs and gas-powered SUVs. It should set a good tone for the rest of the Jeep EVs that are to come.
Jeep Avenger
Unfortunately, the Jeep Avenger will not be available in the U.S. at any point. As we alluded earlier, Jeep will release one of its EVs exclusively in Europe, and the Avenger is it. Nevertheless, the Avenger will be the first EV Jeep release that will not be a hybrid, so we feel it’s worth mentioning here.
The Jeep Avenger has a body that makes it even smaller than the Jeep Renegade, which is a big part of why Jeep is holding off on releasing it in the U.S. in the first place. The company doesn’t feel like there’s enough market in this country. But it will also be an all-electric SUV that can travel up to 250 miles on a single charge. If nothing else, it should show what Jeep has in store for the North American market in the future.
Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
If you can’t wait to get your hands on something from the 2023 Jeep EV lineup, there are a couple of Jeep 4xe vehicles that you can grab now. They aren’t fully electric but can provide you with plug-in hybrid power.
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has an engine that can produce up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Its battery can take you up to 49 miles without having to use a drop of gas. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, meanwhile, has an engine that can produce up to 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Its battery allows you to travel up to 26 miles before it begins to rely on gas to move forward.
These models might not be right for those who want an all-electric Jeep, but they will hold you over until Jeep starts manufacturing all-electric Wranglers and Grand Cherokees in the coming years.
