Not every New Jersey driver approaches electrification the same way.
Some buyers want a fully electric vehicle right away. Others like the idea of reducing fuel costs while maintaining the flexibility of a traditional engine for longer trips and unpredictable schedules.
That's where the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe enters the conversation. While it was not included in Nielsen Editorial's Best Used EVs for NJ Buyers guide because it is a plug-in hybrid, it appeals to many of the same buyers researching EVs.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe can handle shorter local trips using electric power while still providing the confidence to head down the Shore, visit family out of state, or navigate winter weather without planning around charging stops.
For drivers who want an introduction to electrified driving without fully changing their routine, the Grand Cherokee 4xe creates a comfortable middle ground.
