FCA trademarking all kinds of names
We are used to automakers trademarking and reserving names for potential future use but FCA seem to be going at it more than most right now. The trademark office is a regular haunt for journalists trying to guess what manufacturers are up to and those watching the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office have been busier […]
2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee spied in the wild
Jeep have been quiet about the Grand Cherokee for a while now. With all the news around the Gladiator, Wagoneer, electric and hybrid Wranglers and potential future models, the big SUV has hardly got a look in. That all changes today as what is thought to be the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been spied […]
Jeep confirms more electric models are on the way
After covering the Jeep Wrangler 4xe last week, I decided to look more into how Jeep was handling a changing auto market. We knew the automaker was planning electric models for some point in the future but not exactly what, when or where. Today we know a little more. We know that Jeep is planning […]
Jeep Wrangler 4xe
The new hybrid Jeep has been tagged as the ‘4xe’. FCA announced the new name last week and said the 4xe name would be shared across Wrangler, Compass and Renegade models to denote the EV element of these new vehicles. It forms part of Jeep’s aim to offer an electric variant of all its models […]

FCA investing big in their next generation vehicles
All automakers have to invest money into development, it’s part of how the industry works and a big chunk of the cost of your car. FCA is making something of a statement with their latest investment though. They are planning to spend $4.5 billion USD in their future. That investment will be spending the […]
Grand Wagoneer Hellcat might be a real thing
Leaked documents from a Jeep parts provider indicates there may be a Hellcat powered Jeep Grand Wagoneer on the horizon. Given the current trend of shoehorning big motors into other vehicles, including Hellcats, this isn’t as far fetched as it might initially seem. Ever since the return of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer was announced back […]
Jeep Wrangler to get diesel and hybrid options
The king of the off road, the Jeep Wrangler is apparently going to get both a diesel and hybrid powertrain option in upcoming models. In that FCA presentation last week where Sergio Marchionne said they were ditching sedans for trucks, they also offered this piece of news. While a diesel is most definitely good news […]
