The Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.0 4xe Summit Reserve stands as a unique blend of bold American SUV character and refined, elegant design that caters to European preferences. With an imposing front grille, LED headlights, well-proportioned and muscular bodywork, this model radiates premium quality at first glance. The Summit Reserve trim adds chrome accents, 21-inch wheels, and exclusive detailing, further elevating its visual impact.
Premium Cabin Comfort and Materials
The latest Grand Cherokee generation finally matches and even surpasses the standards of the premium segment inside. Plush, high-quality leather, real wood trim, exclusive Summit Reserve upholstery, front seats with massage function, and a powerful harman/kardon audio system await passengers. The harmonious design of doors, dashboard, and seats ensures that all key functions are within easy reach, though some touch controls can be tricky in bright sunlight.
Powertrain, Performance, and Electrified Experience
The Grand Cherokee 4xe combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors, producing a total system output of 381 hp (280 kW) and a robust 637 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 6.3 seconds. The plug-in hybrid system allows for fully electric driving with a WLTP range of 45–50 kilometers, while the real-world average consumption hovers around 4–5 liters per 100 km with frequent charging and city use. The hybrid’s response can sometimes lag under sudden throttle but, overall, the 4xe offers a refined, comfortable, and exceptionally quiet ride—especially in full EV mode.
On-Road Comfort and Off-Road Capability
Quiet and composed on the road, the Grand Cherokee 4xe delivers smooth ride quality both in city and highway conditions. The adaptive suspension irons out imperfections, and the seats remain comfortable even on longer journeys. While the U.S. Trailhawk trim offers more rugged off-road capability, the Summit Reserve still features advanced all-wheel drive, adaptive suspension, and generous ground clearance. The only drawbacks are the hybrid system’s occasional hesitation and the perceivable heft during sharp maneuvers.
Efficiency and Real-World Consumption
Despite its size and robust build, the Jeep Grand Cherokee remains impressively efficient for a four-cylinder, 2.6-ton SUV. As a plug-in hybrid, it is particularly frugal in urban and short-haul scenarios, with around 47.5 kWh/100 km in electric mode and a pure electric range of approximately 48 km per charge. WLTP combined carbon emissions are 0 g/km in full EV mode, easily meeting stringent European environmental norms. Charging from a 7.4 kW wall box takes about 2.5 hours; a standard wall plug was used during testing.
Features, Safety, and Value
The Summit Reserve tops the Grand Cherokee lineup with nearly every feature available: panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, advanced lane-keeping systems, head-up display, 360-degree camera, and comprehensive safety package. Euro NCAP ratings are excellent. However, the flagship price can exceed $80,000 (or nearly 40 million HUF), putting it in direct competition with luxury German rivals.
Conclusion: A Premium American Hybrid for Europe
The Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.0 4xe PHEV Summit Reserve is an ideal choice for buyers seeking an American-spirited plug-in hybrid SUV that meets premium European standards. It is extremely comfortable, safe, practical, fuel-efficient, and environmentally conscious—though the price and real-world efficiency require some compromise. This model exemplifies Jeep’s ability to harmonize American muscle and European sophistication in a modern electrified package.
