Jeep plans to launch two electric vehicles in North America and one in Europe by the year 2025.
When the Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S enter production, they will be the first fully electric Jeeps in the US. The automaker will soon announce two more.
Half of Detroit's sales in North America and all of its sales in Europe will come from electric vehicles by the year 2030.
Plug-in hybrid versions of its popular Jeep models were the focus of the brand until now. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the top-selling plug-in hybrid in the world. The Grand Cherokee will be sold in the US later this year.
The Jeep brand needs to leverage the global scale of its parent company. More than $35 billion has been poured into developing batteries, software, and technology by the Amsterdam-based company, and it expects to launch more than 75 new battery-electric models in North America.
The scale ofStellantis allows us to take advantage of the resources for engineering, design, software, and all the power that we need to accelerate the electrification of the Jeep.
There is a preview of what is to come.
The Jeep Recon is an all-electric vehicle.
According to the company, the Jeep Recon will be robust and efficient enough to cross the 22-mile off-road Rubicon Trail, with enough battery range left to drive back to town and charge.
The EV will come with traditional Jeep features, including the brand's Selec-Terrain traction management system. The latest generation of Jeep's Uconnect system provides detailed guides for off-road trails, while the EV has a one-touch power top.
Early next year, both the Recon and the Wagoneer S will be available for customer orders. The vehicle will be built on the full-size EV platform. According to Meunier, the SUVs are similar to each other.
He said that the underpinning are common.
The car is all-electric.
The all-electric Wagoneers will travel 400 miles on a fully charged battery. In 3.5 seconds, the SUV will go from zero to 60 mph.
It is designed to appeal to a different group of people.
One is an adventure machine and the other is a reinvention of the American modern icon: high performance, very fast, and very premium.
The Jeep Avenger is an all-electric vehicle.
Jeep won't be the first to market with a battery-electric model. The Jeep Avenger will arrive in European showrooms next year.
The Jeep Avenger won't make it to the US because it's too small.
There isn't a market for SUVs of that size in North America.
The Avenger will feature 250 miles of range, as well as impressive ground clearance, breakover and approach angles for its segment, according to Jeep.
At the Paris Motor Show, the Avenger will be on display. The European market has shown interest in Jeeps that are electric.
The plug-in hybrid versions of Jeep's smaller SUVs are also available. The brand derives half of its sales from Europe.
Meunier said that the EV will make their way to the local market one day.
The strategy in China is changing, but the goal is still the same.
In July, it was announced that it would pull out of the joint venture with GAC.
