An entire era is gone. The new Jeep Wrangler will become an electric car (13 photos)
Jeep CEO Christian Meunier shared in an interview information that may upset supporters of traditional jeeps. The next Wrangler will turn into a full-fledged electric car. 
“The great thing about electrification is that it does SUV more capable,” said Meunier. In all senses literally: starting from a larger amount of torque and thinner power plant settings and ending with freedom in the layout of the chassis and the whole machine as a whole. Meunier believes that electric Wranglers cross-country ability will only improve in comparison with the current model.
According to the top manager, the current potential assessment system Jeep off-road vehicles, called the Trail Rating, is a 10-point rating. IN in this rating, the minimum positions are 4 points for the base Renegade, while the electric Wrangler in terms of its capabilities will easily go beyond its borders and will immediately receive 12 points! Engineers are already working on it.
Another reason for Wrangler electrification was the growing the popularity of its 4xe hybrid version. According to the statistics mentioned Meunier in an interview, for the first quarter of 2023 38% of all implemented "Wranglers" fell on 4xe. The director is confident that by the end of the year their share will rise to 60%.
Recall that in 2021 and 2022, Jeep has already experimented with electric Wrangler. These were the Easter concepts Magneto and Magneto 2.0 with an electric motor paired with a conventional gearbox and system all-wheel drive, since the company then did not have its own EV platform was.
