Jeep CEO says future Jeep models will be able to drive underwater

There is no doubt that Jeep is the leader among SUVs and the Jeep Wrangler Xtreme Recon proves it. The firm assured that this Jeep will be able to dive into the water even more than its Ford Bronco competitors.

You read it right. You can take your Jeep Wrangler underwater like it's a submarine. We know it sounds crazy butJeep CEO Christian Meunier said future Jeep models will be able to drive underwater..

Jeep Wrangler dives

New The Jeep Wrangler Xtreme Recon can traverse water up to 33.6 inches deep.. It's pretty deep. Actually, it's 2.8 feet deep. While the rest of the MotorBiscuits are average height, 5ft 1in.

For comparison, a Jeep competitor should be mentioned, in. Can traverse water up to 23.6 inches deepwhich is still good. But electric Jeep models are expected to go even deeper soon.

During the presentation of the electric car by the parent company of Jeep Stellantis, the Jeep Wrangler was depicted completely submerged under water. This image could become reality because Christian Meunier shared that future jeeps will drive underwater.

Meunier explained that enthusiasts and communities are asking for this opportunity. Some members of the jeep community are already driving under water with an internal combustion engine, so they can imagine that this is possible with a battery-powered vehicle.

Electric vehicles do not have air intakes and exhaust gases. As long as their equipment is sealed, they can work underwater without problems. The Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid can traverse water up to 30 inches deep.

What can the Wrangler 4xe do?

This is a plug-in hybrid model. This means that it uses electricity and gas. This is just the beginning as Jeep plans to provide an all-electric model for every SUV segment by 2025.

We're currently waiting to find out more about the J, but we can pass the time with the epic 4xe until it just won the Green SUV of the Year, for which the critics are impressed.

Its MSRP is $49,805 and it is the second most powerful Wrangler of all time. The V-powered Wrangler Rubicon 392 is slightly more powerful, but not as fuel efficient or quiet.

4xe develops 374 hp. and 470 lb-ft of torque and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in six seconds. It features a front and rear locking differential, regenerative brake booster, a waterproof battery pack and electronics to go anywhere pretty efficiently.
