Anyone else checking out the new Jeep vehicles?

If the Wagoneer were a theater, it would have THREE IMAX screens!

I’m not gonna lie this is my favorite part about it. You basically have a DJ/navigator/co-pilot seat. That’s pretty cool.

Have they released pricing on the hybrid?

The Grand Wagoneer is a complete flop in my mind. In a few years i might be in the market for a large SUV but the Grand Wagoneer won't be in the running. As for the PHEV wrangler its very tempting, but 30 mile electric range is awful for a 2021 vehicle. As a Tesla owner range is never what they say and chargers are still to slow and hard to find to allow the driver to push it to the limits

To be fair, 30 miles is pretty standard for most PHEV, even larger Hybrid players like Toyota. They're having to cram in an electric system into an already crowded space (think about the 4 wheel drive system underneath). There's not alot of packaging options for large batteries.

I'll be honest.... the 4xe Rubicon has peaked my interest. I'm still leaning heavily toward the Wildtrak/Badlands (haven't decided yet) and definitely not cancelling my pre-order right now, but if the 4xe Rubicon comes in comparably equipped at say $10k or more less (which I highly doubt), I'll be making the switch.

I really wish Ford offered the plug-in hybrid at launch with the Bronco. Letting Jeep do this before them is a bit of a miss in my opinion. Ford has the technology (well ahead of FCA) so not sure why they chose to wait.

That wagoneer is ugly af IMO. Total miss, I was expecting it to be way more retro. I know it wasn’t going to be exactly like this because obviously it’s a full size but I was expecting at least for it to take some cues.

The hybrid wrangler is cool but Chrysler has never been a huge hybrid manufacturer. I would have zero interest in one outside the warranty period.

Old one Looks Wayyyyy better than the New which is a Mix n Match of more than 3 of their own Models. Wagoneer looks Original.

Agreed. I'd be willing to consider that 4XE Rubicon depending on pricing. Not going to lie, that is a lot of power and range, plus the added efficiency. I'm not a Jeep hater anyway. Had a 2 door Sahara JK for a few years before I went back to the muscle car world for a while.

Ford after the 4xe and Suburbaneer reveal

 

[quattroa4m]

Just announced:

- 4xE electric plug in hybrids
- 4xE Wrangler with quiet engine, good torque, and 50mpge!
- Grand Wagoneer ($100k+, I wanna see that version of the Bronco)

I'm still sold on Bronco, but I'm thinking about waiting for that Hybrid now! Tax Rebates & gas prices are set to go up soon!

4xE - We'll have to see
4xE Wrangler - You'd have to want it pretty badly at the price point that will be asked
Grand Wagoneer - At $100K+ most people with that kind of coin aren't going to be thrilled with say, the standard Jeep experience of getting an oil change. Can't imagine Jeep raising the ownership experience to that of MB, BMW, Lexus, etc.

This Vehicle is a good Business Use instead of a Personal one with 3 Screens ?

 

[VelocityBronco]

I priced out a Rubicon yesterday for $55-60K, add hybrid option to that, so $65-70k?
I just don't see the payback in a hybrid, sure you save a little on gas, but how long does it take to get back your $5k-10k investment over standard Rubicon? If its over 7 years, not worth it.
Current gen Wrangler has issues with water in electronics already, and you want to buy a vehicle from them with more electronics?? Good Luck.

I am happy to see them move towards a hybrid option. 800 lbs for limited miles isn't worth it for me though. The batteries will be drained quickly on the trails and you'll be carrying an extra 800 lbs around with that four banger.

The interior on the Wagoneer looks pretty nice actually. Luxurious. It looks like they have a nice balance of controls on the screen vs buttons. My wife's Panamara requires you to go through screens to change the directional flow of the center vents. I hate that.

The exterior of the Wagoneer is an abomination. Part Lincoln Navigator, part Renegade, an attempt to bring in some Range Rover, and three parts ugly. Complete fail in my eyes from the design perspective.

Please go get the jeep and help out us late reserves.

With FCA's track record, not much of a miss for Ford, actually probably a calculated move by Ford to let FCA announce first. Wouldn't want to be the one ponying up for a 4xe Rubicon, only to get smoked by Ford, when their offering comes out.

I don't think people have figured out that Ford is serious about the Bronco family. Ford has had a long time to get this right and the evidence to-date has shown Ford has exceeded expectations.

At any rate, what's the hurry? If it has to be a hybrid, waiting for Ford's offering would seem to be prudent.
