Jeep’s pioneering engineering has now brought us the Jeep e-Hybrid, along with the Jeep hybrid plug-ins (4XE models) and also its first all-electric vehicle proving its commitment to the future.
The new Jeep e-Hybrid range incorporates cutting-edge EV technology that improves the driving experience and keeps an eye on the battery's health, power supply and charge. It can offer full electric driving, with the electric engine handling manoeuvres at low speeds.
The new Jeep Hybrid powertrain combines a conventional petrol-powered motor with the power of an electric engine. Jeep e-Hybrid technology is based on a new 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces 130bhp through a front-wheel drive system and is assisted by a second electric motor that can increase output by up to 20bhp at different times when driving.
The Jeep e-Hybrid system, in contrast to other mild hybrid cars, can truly give a fully electric driving experience, with the electric engine handling the low speed or in coasting mode. This indicates that a typical Jeep hybrid vehicle uses less petrol and lower emissions.
