Jeep’s portfolio of hybrid SUVs is set to expand in a big way. In an interview with Motor Authority, Head of Jeep brand Jim Morrison discussed the future of Jeep powertrains. According to Morrison, the focus at Jeep lies in the addition of plug-in hybrid drivetrains that give customers both the power and fuel economy they desire. To demonstrate Jeep’s commitment to a hybrid-focused lineup, Jeep’s top of the line Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer will receive a hybrid 4xe drivetrain by 2025.
In the Motor Authority interview, Morrison provided a very clear picture of the future of Jeep powertrains. Morrison told Motor Authority that V8s are dead in performance Jeeps, and there are no clear plans on how to proceed with the Trackhawk nameplate.
