Jeep’s plan to fully electrify its U.S. portfolio will lead to the launch of a Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4xe, Christian Meunier, the former CEO of the Stellantis-owned sport utility brand, revealed at 2022 Jeep 4xe Day on September 8, 2022.
As we approach the home stretch to the launch, here’s what we know about the full-size range-extender SUV.
Confirmation
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4xe will be the brand’s first range-extender vehicle. Bob Broderdorf, the Chief Executive Officer of the Jeep brand, had confirmed that the EREV will be released in the U.S. toward the end of the year. On August 7, 2025, Jeep, issuing a teaser, confirmed that the refreshed SUV is set to launch this fall.
We talked about it last night, we’ll see the range-extending version come in near the end of the year, and we’ll see how this begins to complement this product.

Design
Jeep has released a teaser video and a still image of the facelifted Grand Wagoneer in the 4xe variant. Jeep designers have modified the front fascia and lighting of the new Grand Wagoneer to somewhat match the appearance of the Wagoneer S.
We have also renovated in the E-SUV segment with two strong MCA (Mid Cycle Action or Facelift), the Grand Cherokee, and in the large SUV segment, again the two very strong MCA, the Jeep Wagoneer and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, coming soon, helping the brand to enlarge the scope of competition from the current market coverage of 45% to future market coverage of 85%.

The images reveal sharper lights, an illuminated upper grille which resembles a digitized interpretation of the Jeep 7-slot grille, a large lower intake with a horizontal grille pattern, bold T-shaped LED foglamps, and a new clamshell-type hood.
We also expect a “4xe” badge with the “e” in blue on the tailgate. The charge port cover is located on the left front fender, which will make nose-in parking at charging locations convenient. The company won’t overdo the accents, as that could affect the model’s sophisticated character.
Specifications
While specifications of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4xe have not been disclosed, the powertrain will be shared with the Ram 1500 Ramcharger. The pickup truck uses a dual-motor setup powered by a 92 kWh battery pack, which is charged using a 130 kW Pentastar V6 gas engine. The battery can also be charged like an EV at home or a DC fast-charging station, adding up to 50 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
In this setup, the engine serves as a generator to charge the battery without directly driving the wheels. Combined, the system develops 663 hp and 615 lb.-ft. of torque in the pickup. As the luxury SUV is expected to haul trailers or boats, it is expected to benefit from the Ramcharger’s 14,000 lbs towing capacity, maintaining its best-in-class capability.
With an estimated combined range of over 500 miles, this vehicle is being designed to drive you the distance from New York (City) to Toronto (Canada), with only one initial charge.

The Grand Wagoneer 4xe should be quickest in its lineup, as the same powertrain propels the Ram 1500 Ramcharger to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Grand Wagoneer EREV will be able to travel over 500 miles between fuel stops.
Production
According to the UAW Stellantis hourly agreement document (Nov 2023), the ‘Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer (WS) REPB STLA Frame’ is to enter production in 2025 at the Warren Truck Assembly plant in Michigan, which makes the combustion-powered variants. ‘REPB’ is the abbreviation of Range Electric Paradigm Breaker, which is the range-extender model.
Price
Priced from USD 59,945 and USD 84,945, respectively, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are among the most expensive models in the Jeep range. The base Grand Wagoneer 4xe should cost around USD 100,000.
TopElectricSUV says
The strong interest for its existing plug-in hybrid models, such as the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, which are the first and third best-selling PHEVs in the U.S. market for the first half of 2025, has given Jeep the confidence to extend 4xe to the Wagoneer family.
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4xe is poised to become the most efficient variant in the lineup, while also being the quietest, quickest, with the ability to travel the farthest without compromising towing. Further electrifying the bulkiest Jeeps in the range would ensure compliance with future emission standards.
