Stepping Back From Plug-Ins: Stellantis to End Current Jeep and Chrysler PHEVs in North America

By the end of the 2025 model year, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, and the plug-in hybrid version of the Chrysler Pacifica will disappear from the North American market. That means these vehicles will no longer be offered in their current form with the ability to recharge from a wall outlet.

Early signs of the move surfaced on Jeep’s website. One reader noticed that 4xe models had vanished from the brand’s build-and-price tool. After that, The Drive contacted Jeep representatives and received confirmation that sales of the 4xe lineup have been temporarily halted due to ongoing recalls.

At the moment, Jeep’s website lists only a limited number of electrified models. The upcoming Cherokee will be offered solely as a conventional hybrid without plug-in capability, while the Jeep Recon and Jeep Wagoneer S will be fully electric.

According to The Drive, this shift does not signal that Stellantis is abandoning electrification altogether. Instead, the company plans to focus on traditional hybrids and electric vehicles with range-extending systems. One example still on the roadmap is the Ram electric pickup equipped with a range extender.

At the same time, Stellantis does not intend to cancel newer models that have only recently launched or are about to enter production. Vehicles such as the Cherokee, Recon, and Wagoneer S will remain in the lineup, as their production programs are still in the early stages.

In a statement to the publication, Stellantis said it continually reviews its product strategy in response to changing customer demand and regulatory requirements. As demand shifts, the automaker will gradually wind down its plug-in hybrid programs in North America starting with the 2026 model year and redirect its efforts toward more competitive electrified solutions, including hybrids and range-extended electric vehicles, where those options better align with customer needs.

As a result, Stellantis is placing less emphasis on plug-in hybrids and betting instead on other forms of electrification, ranging from conventional hybrids to fully electric models.
