Your Dodge Dealership Compares the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe

Traditional vs Hybrid Engine

The gas-powered Grand Cherokee runs on the reliable 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, featuring Stop/Start Technology that optimizes efficiency. This engine is capable of producing 293 horsepower with 260 lb-ft of torque, and can haul up to 6,200 pounds. Its power is more than enough for daily driving, weekend camping trips, and off-roading pursuits.

For those seeking a greater rush of speed, the Grand Cherokee 4xe’s 2.0L I4 Turbo PHEV engine is a marvel of power, producing up to 375 horsepower with 470 lb-ft of torque. It has slightly less hauling strength than the gas engine at 6,000 pounds, but it makes up for it in fuel efficiency, with an estimated 56 MPGe combined, and 25 miles of all-electric range.

4×4 Systems

Both Jeep SUV’s have three available 4×4 systems that make Jeep-brand vehicles a legend in off-roading adventures. Quadra-Trac I is an automatic 4WD system that senses and reacts to changing road conditions for extra stability and traction. Quadra-Trac II is capable of sending up to 100% of the available power to the front or rear axle. Finally, Quadra-Drive II, standard on the Trailhawk and Trailhawk 4xe trims, features a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio for ultra-rugged terrains.

Design and Tech Features

The Grand Cherokee has two or three rows of seating available, while the Grand Cherokee 4xe only comes with two rows. In the Grand Cherokee L, seven passengers can comfortably fit in the vehicle, with 17.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats available for use. The third-row seats can be folded down to create almost 30 more cubic feet of storage space for luggage, furniture, or just about anything you can think of.

Both Jeep models feature a 10.1-inch center touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 9-speed Alpine Premium Audio System. An available front passenger screen keeps your co-pilot entertained during long (or boring) drives. In the 3-row Grand Cherokee L, an available rear-seat monitoring camera lets you keep a close watch on the kids. It even has zoom functionality so you never have to turn around.

Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe are powerful, advanced SUVs that will let you go wherever life or nature beckons. To find out more, contact Acadiana Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Lafayette, LA.
