An electric Jeep sounds quite radical, but Stellantis has confirmed the 100% battery-electric model will be revealed in 2023.
Stellantis Group, which is Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Maserati, Peugeot, Citroen, Opel and a few more, has put forward its 2030 strategy. Dubbed Dare Forward 2030, Stellantis has outlined plans to electrify its entire SUV portfolio.
We already have electrified Stellantis products in the form of the Opel Mokka and Peugeot 2008, but there has been nothing that’s a pure 100% electric offering. Mind you, the plug-in hybrid Renegade looks good on paper, but is highly unlikely to make its way to SA.
What you see here are the first images of the all-new electric Jeep. While details are scarce, we can see it is definitely a Jeep, with the trademark design elements. Under the skin, we suspect it will use the platform that underpins the e-2008. That car features a 100 kW and 260 Nm electric motor, paired to a 50 kWh battery. A claimed range of 310 km gives it an acceptable range, by modern standards.
Stellantis says its electric Jeep will be revealed in 2023 and will be going into production in November 2022 at the Stellantis facility in Poland. This factory will also be making a small Fiat crossover as well as a small Alfa Romeo SUV. The group is embarking on a massive electrification drive and there will be two more electrified Jeeps by 2024, which are said to be an offroad-focused Jeep utility vehicle as well as a family SUV.
