“The Trail Rating is a scale up to 10. At 10 is the two-door Wrangler Rubicon – the five-door Wrangler Rubicon is at nine. We start at four for the Renegade with Trail Rating. With the next-generation Wrangler we want to push the Trail Rating to 12. Electrification doesn’t prevent us from doing anything when it comes to off-roading"
Electrification will allow Jeep to make even better off-roaders thanks to added torque, which will enable a smoother, more precise ride according to Meunier. The Wrangler EV will likely use Stellantis' STLA Large all-electric platform, which is what the upcoming Recon is based on. Expect more details, like expected range and power figures, to emerge in the coming years as development continues.
