As the overflow of the countless riders, the Wrangler has recently launched the Wrangler 4XE first version, which specializes in using plug-in hybrid structures. . In fact, the Wrangler 4XE first version is not Jeep introduces the first plucking model in China. In 2020, PHEV, the big commander, has been launched in China, but the market influence of the big commander does not seem to be compared with the Wrangler. And when the Wrangler also puts the battery pack, is it a Dream Car in your soul?
New energy planning speed is slow
Under the wave of electrical transformation of automobiles, even if the Jeep brand known by hard-owned off-road products can also avoid challenges. So 2018, Jeep launched a quot about electrification; five-year programs quot; program, in accordance with this plan, Jeep will launch 10 plug-in hybrid models, and 4 of Wimman EV Pure electric vehicle model. However, in 2021, Jeep also launched only a big commander PHEV and the Wrangler 4XE first version of the two plug-in mixed models, and the transformation speed was quite normal.
After all, with FiaT Krysler (FCA) and Peugeot Citroen (PSA), the two traditional car groups began to warm up. After the merger of both parties, it became the world’s fourth largest car manufacturer, which was second only to Toyota, Volkswagen, Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance, but the two players in the new energy sector were slow. The PSA in the European market is only compatible with the electric structure in the current CMP and EMP2 platform under the restrictions of European market. And the pure electric platform landed, and it is necessary to wait 2023 according to the plan. The more powerful FCA in the Americas market is also lacking in electric vehicles. It is previously in the US market. FCA is spending giant funds from Tesla, Toyota, Honda purchased an emission quota.
Of course, the two have announced their electrical planning, and the mergers of both sides are naturally optimized.Product delivery. However, under the influence of the epidemic, the use of both parties in the product line and the main market is strong, and the fundamental surface to stabilize the European and American market is a top priority. As for the Chinese market that is not good at, it may be limited in a short time. Especially the Jeep of the FCA, after Fiat once again exited the Chinese market, face more pressure.
Cross-country and electric southern north?
In the Chinese market, the pressure of Jeep is largely from, and the brand has been adjusted to the eligibility of hard-owned cross-country, and the control of the product after the automotive electrification. Then let’s take a look, if you use electric, there will be any advantages and disadvantages.
If the hard-selling off-road vehicle adopts the power drive, the problem of overcoming the engine low-toch output, as well as four-drive reliability. After all, the characteristics of the motor are the stable peak torque output in the front segment, and the torque will be attenuated as the speed increases. And this is relatively trouble on the fuel car, and the traditional practice is a large displacement naturally inhaled, but this is increasingly unconventional. As for the purpose of plus turbocharged, because the problem with hysteresis and nonlinear output is not perfect, it has suffered a lot of unsuspects when the Wrangler is replaced by 2.0T.
As for the four-wheel drive, it becomes more simple and rude. The use of the electric motor will have a quot that will be in the past as a cross-country car; three lock quot; send the trend of the museum. The front differential lock, the rear difference lock, the central differential lock also has the design, complex and inefficient of mechanical structures such as drive shafts. Through the flexible layout of the motor, the off-road vehicle implementation four-drive will become more accurate and more accurate. Among them, the most quot; rude quot; practice is naturally equipped with 4 motors. In the past, the four-wheel drive of the machine is like a tiger. Now 4 motors directly quot; fool operation quot;
However, the disadvantage is also very obvious. After the battery pack is applied, the water-related, close to the horizontal, close to the corner, and stabilize Sexual brought a huge challenge. After all, the current peersThe pure electric model of the battery pack is installed below the chassis. Although the current battery pack is basically a waterproof of IP67 level, the location and structure of the battery pack is fragile compared to the oil’s layout, the location and structure of the battery pack. What’s more, it is not seen too much from an external force that causes the battery pack.
Plugging is a temporary approach
So Jeep also folds here, the initial introduction is a plug-in mix structure. For example, let’s take a look at the product power of the Wrangler 4XE. It retains a 2.0T turbocharged engine, then coupled with two electric motors (one front and back), the total system is 80.6 kW higher than the 2.0T fuel version. In addition, the 17KWH capacity of battery pack layout is in the region between the transmission shaft and the exhaust, and the relative pure electric vehicle is directly paved on the chassis. So the pulling the 牧 人 人 依 有;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Even in design, except for quot; 4xEquot; identification and charging port, the Wrangler 4XE first version is not obviously distinctively distinguished. In addition to the fine difference, the two cars can be considered as the four-door version of the fuel version of Sahara.And Rubicon four-door version adds 2 motors and a set of batteries. At least from visual effects and daily experiences, Jeep also wants to blur off quot; with electricity quot; facts, give more cross-country fans an accepted time. 
Summary: Whether it is a Jeep parent company’s strategy or its off-road vehicle product, it makes it better than the general brand in the road of automobile electrification. It is more difficult. From the plug, you can see that Jeep is also trying to reserve the strength of the product in cross-country. As for the restriction of the battery itself, it may have an eccentric method after the launch of solid state batteries.
