Iconic American off-road brand Jeep has revealed its path forward as the industry shifts to electric power. The map includes both plug-in hybrids and battery-electric models, with four new electrified vehicles planned by 2025.

The company’s 4xe plug-in hybrid technology, which we found very appealing for off-road driving during our test of the Wrangler 4xe, will be available in all U.S. Jeep models by 2025.

“With the continuous expansion of the 4xe technology across our entire portfolio, we are redefining freedom and adventure in a way that only the Jeep brand can,” said Jim Morrison, head of Jeep brand North America.

“By the end of 2025, our full lineup will be electrified, including four all-electric vehicles competing in the heart of the marketplace,” Morrison added. Today’s Jeep line includes 4xe versions of the Wrangler and the Grand Cherokee.

Jeep plans two fully electric battery EVs for the U.S. market, the Wagoneer S (which it describes as all-new, so apparently not just a battery-powered version of today’s combustion Wagoneer model) and the Recon, which is a more hard-core off-road SUV in the mold of the Wrangler.

The company will launch the new Jeep Avenger battery-electric SUV at the Paris Motor Show, with plans for it to arrive in European dealers in 2023. There are no details on the planned fourth battery-electric SUV that is scheduled to arrive by 2025.
