Curious what the specs will be when the plug-in hybrid version comes out, both mpg and electric range. Jeep says on its website that it will 4xe all the things by 2025.
You’re spot on here.
“Forward visibility — thanks to a high seating position, low hood, and reasonably-small pillars — is refreshingly good, especially for a modern car.”
Or the Wilderness Bro.
So much this.
You’re spot on.
“The low beltline, longer hood, bigger windows and pulled back A-pillar really help not only lower the vehicle, but improve driver visibility...”
Why off-road in an EV? For me, it’s that sweet instant electric torque. And as much as I love the exhaust note of a V8, the near-silence of an EV off-road is a good option too (it also lets you hear how the tires are working).
That’s because Europeans - well Germans anyway - don’t like pickups. Instead, Germans who have occasional need for a pickup bed will often had a small utility trailer (often stored vertically on its tailgate like a rocket) and then add a trailer hitch, even on 5 and 7 series BMWs and their ilk. The trades largely use…
We used a 120V (grounded) outlet. Free. Plugged in every night (like a smart phone) and it was done in the AM. Easy.
We are there with you. We now have three kids and a big dog. We started off with an all-electric FIAT 500E (1 kid), and moved to an i3 when the second kid arrived. We then had to wait a while for a three row EV.
So much this.
Yes and no.
Sweet electric torque!
Sweet. I’d pay more for a PHEV version with dual electric motors.
This. At least the A and B pillars are slim and the beltline is low. Oh, wait.
You can get a lot of places with good tires, decent ground clearance, and careful driving (and spotting). Not that you should.
