This new model will be part of the fifth-generation Grand Cherokee lineup which will be officially unveiled at the 2021 New York International Auto Show (20th-29th August).

No specifications of the plug-in hybrid SUV were revealed during the presentation, but, Jeep’s future lineup of electrified models were shown briefly.

By 2025, the SUV maker wants to have a 4xe model in every segment, including the premium Wagoneer range. Also, by the middle of this decade, the carmaker says, electrified models will contribute to 70 percent of its overall sales.

When unveiling its new plug-in hybrid vehicle, Jeep also revealed that it will be installing solar charging stations at famous off-roading trails (such as Rubicon Trail in California, Moab in Utah, among others) in the USA.
