  • It’s hard to think of a brand that embraces tradition more than Jeep. But that doesn’t mean they’re stuck in the past. Indeed, Jeep is in the process of electrifying every one of their models; the latest being this Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. So, let’s see what the 4xe adds to an iconic 4x4! #Jeep #GrandCherokee #4xe #JeepGrandCherokee

      @@eddiekowalczyk8151 your comments are senseless; you’re trying to compare two previous models (with two different architectures) that are no longer being produced. Jeep is now part of Stellantis and the new Grand Cherokee is on a different platform than your 2014 GC, which shares very little with the new GC 4xe.

      6 years, 70,000 miles and no repairs required. Maintenance is easier and cheaper than European brands. And when it's time to run an errand, I pick the GC over my wife's Porsche Macan. It's just a real easy car to drive and own.

    Just walked into a Jeep dealership. The seats are mediocre in comparison to the standard, Volvo! I was sitting in the Overland luxury trim. Comfort is the first benchmark when buying it leasing a new vehicle. Come on Jeep up the game in seats. The rear seat seatback angle was almost at 90 degrees making it feel like I was hunched over. 😂

    Those brakes are dreadful!!! Folks, don't be fooled, this is NOT A ROAD TEST. IT IS A COMMERCIAL MASQUERADING AS EDITORIAL. Motorweek are supplied by local legacy dealerships under the proviso that they give good reviews. They are "flown" by manufacturers' marketing departments to racetracks and other exotic locations to test new vehicles... and you bet they are expected to provide positive coverage, otherwise that access dries up. It is "access journalism." 22MPG and a 23-gallon tank... $80 to fill it up. Motorweek had nothing to say at all about this dreadful aspect of the vehicle, or the climate-warming pollution that occurs as a result.
    What sort of pro-pollution, pro-climate-change ghoul describes this car as "a very sensible approach to electrification in our view, rather than going all-in and forcing their faithful followers to adopt their lifestyle to a revolutionary business strategy" ? Motorweek, get real!!! Tesla's 130MPGe, 76cu.ft. Model Y is one of America's fastest-selling vehicles - soon to be THE fastest-selling vehicle - and Tesla don't even advertise. Americans are scrambling to buy it. They want BEVs. They've already decided to adapt their lifestyle (and ENJOY THE BENEFITS of clean operation, low running costs and downtime). Nobody is forcing anyone to adapt their lifestyle. Meanwhile, PHEVs are the WRONG APPROACH and have been shown to emit MORE pollution than they should. People don't charge them up. That's how they're supposed to help reduce emissions. If you don't charge it up the PHEV is WORSE for the environment than the manufacturers' claims.
    Motorweek doesn't review or test Tesla vehicles unless they are forced to. You are literally dis-informing your viewers. They finish watching your shows LESS informed about the motoring world than they had when they hit play.
