JEEP is discontinuing a popular range loved by Brits in favour of an all-EV lineup.<\/p>\n
The iconic brand is transitioning away from petrol power in a bid to produce only electric cars by 2030.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As part of that project, the petrol Grand Cherokee line is being phased out to make way for new battery-powered versions.<\/p>\n
Jeep confirmed the scrapping of the Trackhawk variant in 2021.<\/p>\n
The fifth generation standard Grand Cherokee is still available with a petrol engine, but there is now a plug-in hybrid version too.<\/p>\n
The model was renewed in 2021 and generation cycles usually last six or seven years, so we can expect the discontinuation of the petrol range as a whole by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n
Jeep now offers the all-electric Avenger model to take the place of its SUV offerings.<\/p>\n It has also launched two new SUVs, the Recon and Wagoneer S, to further capture the electric market in that class.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for the manufacturer said: "The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was discontinued after the 2021 model year.\u00a0 <\/p>\n "The fifth generation Grand Cherokee is available with the 4xe plug-in hybrid version. \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Last year, the brand announced the premiere of two all-new, all-electric, global SUVs\u00a0the Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S. \u00a0<\/p>\n "Jeep indicated that 50% of sales in the U.S. and 100% of sales in Europe will be battery-electric vehicles (BEV) by 2030."<\/p>\n "Jeep Avenger, first-ever fully electric Jeep SUV for Europe, won the 2023 European Car of the Year."<\/p>\n It comes after an EV owner issued an urgent warning about the hidden cost of driving one.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, another major car firm unveiled its last ever petrol sports car as it too moves to only producing electric cars.<\/p>\n<\/picture>SPARK'S GONE <\/span><\/p>\n
