As early as 2019, Fiat · said that it would shift its future development focus to electrification according to the plan, and Jeep brand will play an exemplary role in the group's electrification process. Its boss said jeep was ready to embrace the era of electrification and was expected to become "the most environmentally friendly and sustainable company in the world". In order to achieve this plan, Jeep brand will let all its models have versions for consumers to choose before 2022. Take compass and Wrangler, two pillars of the brand, for example. They have already shown plug-in hybrid versions at CES in January, with a 4xe tail. Although many people can't accept this great change for a while, after all, off-road car fans have deep feelings for the 3.6 V6 herdsman, but we should admit that there are several advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles that the old models don't have. First of all, because of the intervention of the motor, the vehicle can provide instant torque to the individual wheels when needed, to help them improve their ability to get out of trouble. Secondly, PHEV has a higher driving quietness, which reduces the noise damaging the nature. Finally, when we drive herdsmen to cross-country, PHEV model can provide high-voltage power for camping, which will provide a lot of convenience. Through overseas spy photos, we learned that the PHEV model of herdsman is not very different from the current model in appearance, but the location of its charging port is different from that of the Freeman PHEV and the guider PHEV designed in the rear fender of the body, but in the front fender of the body. It is reported that the motor of PHEV model of herdsman can drive the vehicle for up to 50km in pure electric mode, which makes the vehicle have a qualitative leap in both emissions and fuel consumption. It is worth mentioning that after using the plug-in hybrid, the horse Herder's 100km acceleration time can also be achieved within 6 seconds, which is a very excellent result for a jeep. At present, some foreign media have taken spy photos of jeep shepherd plug-in hybrid version road test. The new car will be launched in 2020. We will continue to pay attention to more information about it.
