In total, the system issues 375 horsepower (280 kW) and 470 lb-ft of torque (637 Nm). The Grand Cherokee 4xe aims to achieve 25 miles (40 km) of electric range, 57 mpg equivalent fuel consumption and economy. total autonomy 440 miles (708 km).
engine Specifications
El 4-liter turbocharged engine I-2.0 and fuel efficiency is part of the Stellantis Global Midsize Engine (GME) family. This direct injection engine uses a low-response twin-scroll turbocharger mounted directly on the rear of the cylinders.. Efficiency is enhanced by the use of electric power steering and an electrically driven A/C compressor, which prevents these loads from being transferred to the engine.
Conventional alternator replaced by liquid-cooled high voltage generator motor. Belted to the crankshaft pulley, the alternator spins the engine for efficient start-stop operation without interruption, while simultaneously generating power for the battery. A larger high-voltage generator is installed on the transmission, replacing the torque converter. Two clutches control the power and torque of an electric motor and a conventional motor.
The first clutch is located between both engines. When the system is in electrical-only mode, the clutches are open, so there is no mechanical connection between them. When the clutch is closed, the combined torque of the engines passes through the automatic transmission. A second variable clutch mounted behind the electric motor controls the motor/transmission combination to improve handling and efficiency.
High voltage electric batteries
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe includes one Electric battery 400 volt 17 kWh. Battery packs and controls they are located under the floor and protected by a series of plates... System It includes a heating circuit with a separate heating element and a cooling circuit that maintains the optimum temperature of the batteries. for better performance. To do this, it uses a cooler, which uses refrigerant from the air conditioning system to lower the temperature of the battery coolant when needed.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe system also includes built-in dual charging module (ICDM), which combines a battery charger and a DC/DC converter in one compact unit, as well as a small-sized power inverter module (PIM). They are installed under the body and protected by steel plates. All high voltage electronic components are sealed and waterproof. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Trail Rated is capable of traversing water up to 24 inches (61 cm) deep.
The charging port is under a cover on the left side of the front bumper that opens and closes with latches to make it easier to charge in front parking at charging stations. The charging port includes LED indicators that inform you about the status of the work.. An LED battery level indicator is located on the top of the instrument panel, allowing you to check the battery charge status at a glance.
4x and E selection modes
With E Selec modes, the driver of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe can tailor the hybrid powertrain to better suit every journey.Whether it's an off-road ride or a long distance ride. The driver selects the desired mode of the power unit using the buttons installed on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel:
1. Hybrid: Combines the torque of a 2.0 liter petrol engine and an electric motor. The powertrain optimizes battery and gasoline drive power and delivers the best combination of fuel economy and performance.
2. Electric: Runs on electricity and zero emissions until the battery reaches the minimum charge level or until the driver requests an increase in torque (for example, fully depressing the accelerator pedal). In both cases, the petrol engine is activated.
3. Electronic preservation: Gives priority to the gasoline engine, saving battery power for later use.
In this mode, the driver can also choose between power saving and battery charging through the Hybrid Electric Pages on the Uconnect 5 touch screen controls.
Regardless of the selected mode, the Grand Cherokee 4xe operates as a hybrid as soon as the battery reaches the minimum charge level.
Driver Power Regulator
The Driver Information Display and Main Display contain Eco Coaching pages that allow owners to control power flow and check regenerative braking impact, schedule, charging time to take advantage of lower electricity rates, including a driving history with a detailed description of the consumption of electricity and fuel.
regenerative franc
Regenerative braking is part of the 4xe system. When the driver depresses the brake pedal, the transmission engages the maximum possible regenerative braking available up to 0,25g from the electric motors to slow the vehicle down., and complements it with friction brakes traditional for the Grand Cherokee.
When 4x4 is enabled, all four tires provide torque for regenerative braking, maximizing regenerative energy. Braking energy is transferred to the battery to maintain or increase the charge level.
Maximum regeneration function
With driver-selectable Max Regen, achieves a more sensitive regenerative braking calibration when the vehicle sees that the driver does not require the throttle. Max Regen can slow Grand Cherokee 4xe faster than regenerative braking standard and generate more electricity for the battery.
