    Jeep To Show Trio of PHEVs at CES

      ...and bring a new badge with them...

    Jeep will be bringing a trio of plug-in hybrid variants with them to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this month, and along with them, a new badge.  The Jeep Wrangler, Compass, and Renegade will debut in North America wearing a new 4xe badge that will denote their plug-in status.  The SUV's are scheduled for their official debut in New York and Geneva later this year. 

    Jeep intends to have some form of electrified driving available in its entire lineup by 2022, but it could be in the form of a mild-hybrid eTorque system.  At the moment, Jeep says that all electrified vehicles will carry the new 4xe but it is unclear if that really includes the eTorque models or not.

    We've previously seen Compass and Renegade Plug-In hybrids at the Geneva Auto Show in 2019.  In those, the engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 177 hp and 200 lb.-ft of torque on its own. On the Renegade, there are power variants that add additional electric motivation to bring total output to either 190 hp or 240 hp.  The only choice on the Compass is the 240 hp version.  The PHEVs have eAWD, where the rear wheels are powered electrically only and there is no prop shaft from the gasoline engine.  FCA claims the PHEVs can travel up to 31 miles in electric only mode and reach a top speed of 81 mph before the gasoline engine kicks in to help.

    We will have more details on the Renegade, Compass, and Wrangler Plug-In hybrids coming soon.

    Be interesting to see how fast the auto industry changes over to PHEV as a standard auto with EV as the normal auto choices as ICE gets reduced more and more.

    Most manufacturers are going to be offering it as an option on the majority of their lineups by 2025.

      Awesome specimen.    Sadly though, it is no longer available for sale.  Did the seller find a buyer?  At $48 000, it is relatively cheap to buy.  Does that mean muscle cars are going down in price?  Maybe its not a "numbers matching" 455.  Perhaps an aftermarket "upgrade".  It does have an Edelbrock stamp on the block which explains the "low" price of 48 thousand.   Either way, Id buy it.  Well...not now.  Owning a "vintage" muscle car would be #2 of my dreams and wishes.   Im on my way of realizing my #1  of dreams and wishes.  Owning a home (condo) on a Greek island.  My financials are almost there for that.  If #1 is not fullfilled, then #2 would happen.  But #1 looks to be right on track.  Only thing I will whine about is: Although I LOOOOVE Cragar SS wheels,  ESPECIALLY on muscle cars, I somehow disapprove of them on a 442.  The rich that support him are making even MORE money with him there so no...they will NOT listen. They do not care.  The others are racist bastards that as long as the ones they hate are in worse shape than they are, then they will allow trump to destroy the country.  It WILL take the rest of you to fight for your country.    To remove him FORCIBLY  and all those other cancerous shyteholes that have infected your country.

      Idiot47 is nothing more than a mole controlled by Russia. Do not forget the pictures and video that was released by Russia of him and prostitutes in Russia as he was there with his wife to try and get Idiot Hotels. He is nothing more than a stool pigeon for Russia destroying America and any other system as they try to push their dictator control of the world. WE THE PEOPLE need to take back America, Impeach Idiot47 and his whole administration. Bring back Democracy, working in unison with the world, not an attempt to attack the world and the continued pardoning of criminals. The whole administration needs to be arrested and turned over to the Hague to stand trial for Crimes against Humanity.

      Do not forget that he also reignited his racist "why do we get immigrants from non-white countries and not from white countries" rhetoric. Oh...then there is the constant talk about war on his own citizens. Also, the constant attacks on Canada, the usa's most reliable and friedliest neighbour. Not to mention the  grifting and the corruption that allows his friends and family to gain billions of dollars financially from government coffers.  I have become NON-TOLERANT to ANY american entity.  I DESPISE maga, trailer trash and anything remotely connected to trump and/or the republican party. I HATE anything american that ALLOWS trump to continue on this path and I do NOT respect americans that allow this shyte to exist.   And many many MANY Canadians feel the same way. It is NOT just me...  It is, in the grand scheme of things, ALL of Canada that has this hatred for the usa.  And its not ONLY because of trump...   I as a Canadian, we Canadians DO have a dog in this fight as trump has THREATENED OUR nation politically, economically. His words ARE words of war and add insult to injury, some americans to this day do NOT understand the severity of it all.     Phoque trump Phoque the usa
