The Jeep brand has taken its iconic image to another level by making its SUVs, not only rugged and tough, but also fast and eco-friendly. The modern Jeep is an evolutionary spectacle from which other car manufacturers are struggling to contend with. What makes the Jeep brand so special? At Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram we have all the information you need on all Jeep models.
Let’s begin with the new and impressive Jeep Gladiator. In some ways, the all-new Jeep Gladiator is exactly what it looks like: half-Jeep and half-truck. In other ways, it is way more: a beefy vehicle that’s not afraid to go off-roading or flying down the open road; a midsized pickup that is so advanced there is nothing else out there quite like it; and a family car offering smooth, easy driving. Sounds almost too good to be true, we know, but it isn’t. This newfangled utility vehicle is sure to turn heads and impress even the most knowledgeable car enthusiasts, and this cool truck is a prime example of Jeep pushing the idea of what a vehicle can be and do. The Gladiator is something never been done before.
Even though it’s the brand’s first pickup since 1992, Jeep has not failed to keep up with what the modern consumer wants and needs in a truck. This is important—knowing how the pickup of today is used—because trucks aren’t what they used to be. Whereas before they were these clunky, minimalist vehicles made for either hauling or towing, they are now built to be the all-encompassing vehicle that offers a smooth ride with advanced capabilities to make everyone happy, children and adults alike. It’s also not afraid to hit the road with a quick punch and high acceleration but also operates as a rugged truck. It’s hard to comprehend—a truck that is fast and tough.
The same could be said about the Wrangler itself: once an ultra-rugged machine meant to get dirty, rusty, and beat up, the more modern versions have managed to keep the original toughness, but add in a lot of luxury, new technology, and speed. Jeep has proven in the past they are willing and capable of keeping up with the most modern advances, but with the Gladiator, they actually take the lead in innovation.
This innovative spirit is really what Jeep is all about: take something already proven and making it better. And in this case, Jeep has taken both the Wrangler (their own classic vehicle) and the concept of a midsize pickup to new levels by meshing them together.
E-Wrangler
Since we mentioned the Wrangler (one of our favorite vehicles ever!), let’s look at the all-new electric version. The electric-hybrid Wrangler puts a bold foot forward and sets a standard for plug-in SUVs. The all-new Wrangler 4xe is everything you want in a Wrangler and so much more.
The Wrangler 4xe is more than capable of hitting high speeds and conquering tough terrain. With 470 pound-feet of torque, the 4xe can climb over tough terrain and hit 0-60 miles-per-hour within 6 seconds. So, it’s tough and fast? No—it’s actually way more than that.
The new Wrangler identifies as a 4×4. After all, how could a venerable machine such as the Jeep Wrangler deny its roots: traipsing through rock and dirt, pulling and pushing through mud and sand. But over the last decade or so, the Wrangler has become more comfortable, more family-friendly, but without losing its edge and power. Now add some electric sporty speed and the new Wrangler becomes a triple threat.
The Wrangler 4xe provides 375 horsepower and comes with a 2.0-liter, I4 DOHC direct-injection Turbo PHEV engine that allows for the very best power and capability. There’s also a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, a regenerative brake booster, and an 8-speed automatic transmission constantly providing power and charge to each wheel of the Wrangler. And what’s really great about all this is that the battery pack and electronics are sealed and waterproofed so you can drive in up to 30 inches of water without any interference.
Another perfect example of the Jeep brand’s forward-thinking development, the e-Wrangler is multiple vehicles in one, but without getting so versatile it gets lost in the confusion. Take what works and make it better. That is the Jeep way.
