The driver selects the desired powertrain mode via buttons mounted on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel:  **1. Hybrid**: Blends torque from the electric motor and gas engine. The powertrain will optimize battery and engine power to deliver the best combination of fuel efficiency and performance **2. Electric**: Operates on zero-emission electric power only until the battery reaches the minimum charge or the driver requests more torque (such as wide-open throttle), which engages the engine **3. eSave**: Prioritizes the engine, saving the battery charge for later use. The driver can also choose between Battery Save and Battery [Charge during eSave via the Hybrid](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/02/s-580e-4matic-charge-usa-mercedes-benz-s/) Electric Pages in the Uconnect 5 monitor ## Regardless of the mode selected, the Grand Cherokee 4xe operates as a hybrid once the battery nears its minimum state of charge.

The Hybrid Electric Vehicle Pages let owners monitor power flow and see the impact of regenerative braking, schedule charging times to take advantage of lower [electric rates and view their driving](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/11/chicago-drive-electric-showcases-ev-excitement/) history with a detail of electric and gasoline usage. ### Regenerative Braking  Regenerative braking is part of the 4xe system. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the powertrain control engages the maximum available regenerative braking, up to 0.25 g, from the [electric motors to slow the vehicle](https://greenlivingguy.com/2005/11/the-case-for-electric-vehicles-now/), augmented with the Grand Cherokee’s traditional friction brakes. With 4×4 engaged, all four wheels feed torque for regenerative braking, maximizing the energy recovery. Electricity from regenerative braking is fed to the battery pack to maintain or increase the state of charge. A driver-selectable Max Regen feature deploys a more assertive regenerative braking calibration when the vehicle sees zero throttle input from the driver (coasting). Max Regen can slow the Grand Cherokee 4xe faster than standard regenerative braking and generate more electricity for the battery pack. ## The Selec-Terrain system offers five available terrain modes (Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, Mud/Sand) to provide optimized calibrations for any given driving scenario. New for the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4×4 is front-axle disconnect. If the vehicle senses that road conditions do not require all-wheel drive, the front-axle disconnect automatically places the Grand Cherokee in two-wheel drive, reducing drag on the driveline and improving fuel economy. Four-wheel drive automatically re-engages when the vehicle senses it is needed. Grand Cherokee boasts class-leading 7,200-lbs (3265 kg) max towing with the available 5.7-liter V-8 engine. #### **Trailhawk – the most capable Grand Cherokee** The all-new 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk elevates Grand Cherokee’s 4×4 capability even further. The new Trailhawk features standard all-terrain tires, integrated off-road camera, Quadra-Lift air suspension with up to 11.3 inches (28.7cm) of ground clearance, improved approach, departure and breakover angles and the Quadra-Drive II active transfer case with rear eLSD and Selec-Terrain. #### **Trailhawk 4xe – Trail Rated, nature approved** For the first time ever, the fifth-generation Grand Cherokee will offer the electrified Trailhawk 4xe, which combines an estimated 25 miles (40 km) of all-electric “Zero Emission Freedom” and 57 MPGe with Grand Cherokee Trailhawk’s legendary 4×4 capability.
