Once just a trim level of the Grand Cherokee, the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is now its own model. This hybrid-enhanced version of Jeep’s full-size SUV has incredible range, tons of active safety technology, and the capability you’d expect from Jeep. Here’s a full Sea View Auto Corp overview of the 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe.
Trims
Comparing Grand Cherokee models for the 2022 4xe version, the five choices in order of price are the Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. The Limited, which is a mid-range trim on the non-hybrid Grand Cherokee, is the base trim for the 4xe, establishing it as a more luxurious SUV. The Trailhawk is an off-roading-oriented trim level, while the Overland cranks up the luxury with a hands-free power liftgate, dual-pane sunroof, and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels.
The Summit goes further, adding a black painted roof, more cabin luxuries, and many advanced driving features, such as parallel and perpendicular park assist, a 360-degree camera, traffic sign recognition, and active driving assist. Finally, the Summit Reserve adds Palermo leather seats, 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, and a few other interior bonuses like an integrated front passenger display.
Price
Over time, Jeep has made all versions of the Grand Cherokee more advanced and closer to the luxury end of the market. The 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe Limited starts at $58,095. The Trailhawk starts at $62,880, and the Overland goes further with the luxury features, starting at $66,155. From there, we have the Summit, starting at $69,820. Finally, the Summit Reserve is the ultimate package and starts at $74,695. All told, these packages are solid deals for what they offer, and the Limited will serve the average Ocean Township family’s various needs.
One thing is for sure: The Grand Cherokee’s total of 440 miles on a full tank and battery charge means you will save money the longer you own it. The 4xe is also eligible for a $7,500 tax credit, making it even easier to save with Sea View Auto Corp.
Gas mileage
The 4xe’s hybrid powertrain gets up to 57 combined city/highway MPGe, 375 horsepower, and 470 lb-ft of torque. You can drive the 4xe for up to 24 miles of all-electric range and swap between three driving modes at any time. Electric mode disengages the gas engine, eSave does the opposite and recharges the battery, and Hybrid mode uses both for optimal performance. If you end up riding on gasoline only, this sizable family SUV still puts out a strong 23 city mpg and 24 highway mpg during eSave mode.
Towing Capacity
On every trim level, the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe offers a 7,200-pound maximum towing capacity with the Quadra-Trac II 4X4 system. The 4xe has a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio and a 47.4:1 crawl ratio with this setup, making it ideal for rocky terrain.
The Trailhawk model might be the best fit for rugged off-road use and towing, as it adds electric-blue tow hooks, a class-exclusive detaching sway bar, and underbody skid plates to protect the undercarriage from sharp or uneven surfaces. The Trailhawk and all higher trim levels get the Quadra-Lift air suspension, which automatically lifts and lowers the vehicle as needed while driving over different surfaces.
Interior Features
All Grand Cherokee 4xe trim levels come included with up-market features for a convenient and opulent cabin. Move up to the Overland model to get nappa leather heated and ventilated front seats, plus heated second-row seats and ambient lighting. The Summit gets four-zone automatic climate control and 16-way adjustable massage and memory front seats on top of the prior trim levels’ features.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe comes standard with the Uconnect 5 infotainment system, centered around an 8.4-inch touch screen that grows to 10.1 inches on higher grades. There’s also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on board and a quality Alpine nine-speaker audio system on the Overland or higher. The one exception is the top-tier Summit Reserve, which has a 19-speaker McIntosh audio system and adds ventilated second-row seats.
Colors
No one could deny that the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe looks like a quality vehicle. Jeep has chosen a classic yet energetically modern take on a premium SUV, great in any of the available colors. The chrome window surround floats from the front of the D-pillar rather than the back, emphasizing the rear glass’s unique shape. A sleek black bar joins the tail lamps at the back, contributing to the sporty look.
The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe has a broad range of colors depending on the trim level. You’ll find both monotone and two-tone paint jobs, a few of them as a free choice.
Shopping for a 4xe Limited, you’ll see the following monotone exterior colors:
- Bright White Clear-Coat.
- Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat.
- Midnight Sky.
- Silver Zynith.
- Velvet Red Pearl-Coat.
- Ember Pearl-Coat.
- Rocky Mountain Pearl-Coat.
The Overland is the same as the Limited, only also with a Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat paint option in monotone. The Trailhawk has one monotone color and five two-tone exterior colors:
- Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat.
- Bright White plus Black Clear-Coat.
- Midnight Sky plus Black Clear-Coat.
- Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat plus Black Clear-Coat.
- Baltic Gray Metallic plus Black Clear-Coat.
- Silver Zynith plus Black Clear-Coat.
The Summit’s color options are similar, except in place of the last two, you can choose from Ember Pearl plus Black Clear-Coat or Rocky Mountain Pearl-Coat plus Black Clear-Coat.
Finally, the Summit Reserve has the Diamond Black one-tone paint job as well as an available black two-tone combination with all the various tones on preceding trims. As per usual, every option is $395 except the free Bright White plus Black two-tone color.
Overall, the 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe combines the size and off-road capability of the regular Grand Cherokee with innovative electric hybrid technology.
