I have yet to hear anything positive about an Stellantis EV or any vehicle from that company.

That’s a lot of money for short range. Would have to charge when u get to the trails from the drive from the house

 

[DuoRivians]

It’s got locking differentials. Price seems a bit high.

Battery pack is decent. 100kwh.

I'd consider this, but a sub 300 mile range is a non-starter for me.

Trail rated? Can it do the Rubicon in stock form?

250 miles range for 65K? Just like the Grand Wagoneer I rented to take a road trip today, I don't understand why these things cost this much and have so little value.

You mean Jeep® Trail Rated™ brand off-road vehicle.

But hey, they're installing solar powered charging stations at "key" Jeep® Badge of Honor™ brand off-road trails around the US!

Yeah, "Trail Rated" is a joke that is pure marketing. Even the non-Wilderness-branded Subaru Ascent family SUV has more ground clearance than the "Trail Rated" Jeep Compass Trailhawk.

Edit: I should clarify - I have no problem with Jeeps. Many models of Jeep are quite capable off-road. I'm 100% making fun of their "Trail Rated" badges. As if it's some independent certification of offroadiness. Nor am I making fun of Subarus for being not off-road capable. Just pointing that the *NOT* offroad-branded Ascent has more ground clearance than the offroad-branded Compass. Then again, I'm crazy and have overlanded a stock Prius. And an old Subaru Justy.

I've been tempted to pick up a "Trail Rated" badge off eBay, and a "Subaru Wilderness", and put them on my R1T like "kill markings" on a fighter plane. Maybe a "TRD Off-Road" badge, too.

At that price, it’s certainly gonna be Fail-Rated.

$65k to start and 250 mi range. This will be yet another EV Stellantis kills and claim "consumers don't want our EVs".

Another EV option is great, especially with off road capability. Not a competitor for R1 but maybe R2, depends on how much racket it makes while driving.

 

[COdogman]

I‘m glad to see another adventure ready EV, but I don’t know who this is for. Whether it’s necessary or not Americans believe they need at least 300 miles of range.

I guess it’s still better than the Hilux EV that Toyota just announced with 150 miles range

My wife's Grand Cherokee is pretty great. It literally has just about every feature avaliable on a SUV. While it definitely isn't designed for difficult trails, I have taken it on the beach and it handles it with ease.

As for the OP, I am very disappointed. 250 miles of range isn't going to sell very well. I wouldn't buy it.

 

[BigSkies]

Jeep finally launched their long awaited EV. It's an offroad vehicle with 230 miles of range for the launch edition. This is a pretty embarrassing half-attempt at an EV.

The only other vehicle out there nearly as useless is the Cybertruck. Because, well, it's a Cybertruck.

So which is more useless? Cybertruck or Jeep Recon?

Tough call.
