New this year on the redesigned Grand Cherokee is what Jeep is calling a front passenger interactive display. With regular gas at $5.25 a gallon, a 20-mpg vehicle would be more in the range of 26 cents per mile.Įlectricity aside, the new Overland version of the Cherokee we had for a week was beautiful inside and had all the bells and whistles that we could have imagined, yet there are still two trim levels with even more to offer: the Summit and Summit Reserve. In our area, it would cost around $1.40 to $1.75 to charge the Jeep at home overnight, making those 25 miles in the range of 6 cents a mile. As small as that sounds, it gets big numbers at 375 horsepower and 470 foot-pounds of torque with the electric assist. The 4xe also comes with a new 2.0-liter, I-4 turbocharged engine. At the end of the week, we had only added about one quarter tank of fuel to the mix.ĭuring our last test drive in a Grand Cherokee, we got 20.5 miles per gallon average, so adding the electric power did help substantially this time around. This gave us a very nice average of 25.9 miles per gallon of fuel. We were able to regenerate over 10 miles of pure electric power coming down the different canyons along our route.Īfter the week’s driving, we had gone a combined 587.3 miles, 323.4 of those on pure gasoline and 263.9 using electric power that came either from our home’s electricity or regeneration through hills and braking. While trying to get out of Heber, we came upon heavy traffic at the turn to Midway, so we took the long way home up over the mountain to Cascade Springs and down through Sundance. For this outing, we headed up Spanish Fork Canyon and over Sheep Creek to Strawberry Reservoir, ending up in Heber. Craig made a single trip to Ogden, and we also got in a longer Sunday drive. With petrol at the time costing more than $5 per gallon, we expected every little bit would help, no matter how we got the extra boost.ĭuring our week out with the new Grand Cherokee, we did mostly everyday driving around Utah Valley. There would be even less noise while navigating Moab’s slick rock.īefore receiving the 4xe, we made the conscious decision to plug in the Jeep every night, make sure it was fully charged for the next day, and do a normal week of driving to see if only 25 miles could really help with the fuel bill. We have found that with these plug-in hybrids, it is kind of eerie going off road with no noise except for the wheels on the gravel. It would fill in for the missing luxury SUVs with more than enough racing power.This may not seem like much, but imagine going off-roading for the day and doing it all on silent electric power.
So the name could be applied to something new, like the Jeep Wagoneer Tomahawk. Also, the Dodge Durango Hellcat was a limited special edition. However, we haven’t heard anything about a new Cherokee Trackhawk yet. Also, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk races circles around the competition. But which Jeep gets to wear the epic Tomahawk badge? We’ve seen the word hawk used in a variety of models.įor example, the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk is the top-spec off-roading model. This could mean that a more powerful off-roading or racing-oriented Jeep model could be in the works. According to CarBuzz, Stellantis filed a trademark for the Tomahawk name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We only have a few clues about the Jeep Tomahawk to go on.
