Looks great. I have been tempted to get one of these but sticking with my v8 Overland for now.

Nor me, between my wife and I we have had 19 Jeeps.

Sadly the current range are no good for us. We tried a Renegade 4xe Trailhawk, but, they have made the petrol tank far too small. My wife needs to do 300 miles when she travels to work, nowhere to charge it up. Older ones re much better. The WJ has the biggest boot of the bunch, thinking about getting another one sometime, currently using a Merc GLE for that role. Interestingly the GLE manages around 40mpg (250d 2.1 older engine) whereas my final Cherokee 2018 2.2 only managed 42mpg despite the difference in size and weight.

A 6.4 Hemi WK2 will appear at some point on my drive, purely for fun though.

Wifey runs a Renegade 4xe, for local stuff it is great, but like you say max range of 280 miles on a charge and full tank makes it a bit rubbish on a run, but with the runs wifey does (mainly less than 20 miles at a time) it is great, doing 80 mpg ave. she had the 2wd 1.3t model before this and it did 33mpg, but that would do 400+ miles on a tank

I really regret selling my last v8 WJ, I keep an eye out for a low mileage one....... Oh and I have just bought another XJ Cherokee 4l limited, was my wifes uncles from 2004, then a mate of mine bought it off him, but he wants to move it on as it is just a garage queen, arrives in a month or so when I have made barn space

My 2nd WJ 2.7crd.
Picked up 2 years ago with 68K on the clock. Usual issues have been sorted by myself as they pop up and its my daily workhorse.






Maybe one day a newer Grand, but the failed 3.0 eco diesel engine stories put me off. Maybe the internet has over exaggerated them ?
