Jeep Previews Concepts Coming to 56th Moab Easter Safari

Every year, the Moab Easter Jeep Safari is as much party as event, an occasion for the automaker that gave the world the Wrangler to unveil a host of cool concepts. This year will be no exception as a new slew of models will be unveiled.

The event takes place from April 9 to 17 in Moab, Utah. In anticipation of the event, Jeep has shared two images previewing what to expect there.

One of the concepts will be a plug-in hybrid model with the 4xe suffix. And one of the two sketches shared by the manufacturer shows us a close-up of a Grand Cherokee model. We can therefore deduce that one concept will be based on the 4xe version of that SUV, a variant expected to hit dealerships this spring.

The Grand Cherokee 4xe will be powered by a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and two electric motors. The powertrain also includes an 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system similar to the other versions of the model, and it’s been conceived to preserve the model's towing capabilities, one of its calling cards. Jeep estimates it at 6,000 lb. As for all-electric range, it’s estimated at 26 miles, or 42 km.
