Jeep's CEO Antonio Filosa has confirmed the upcoming launch of the plug-in hybrid Gladiator 4xe in 2025. Utilizing the same powertrain as the Wrangler 4xe, it will feature a turbo inline-four engine and an electric motor, delivering 375 horsepower. This move expands Jeep's hybrid lineup significantly.
Apocalypse Manufacturing, based in vibrant Fort Lauderdale, Florida, showcases its masterpiece - the Hellfire 6x6 Jeep Gladiator. Starting at $149,000, this custom marvel boasts premium features and robust engine options, captivating buyers globally. With notable owners like NBA star Luka Doncic, this six-wheeled beast is a symbol of post-apocalyptic luxury.
Stellantis faces a federal lawsuit alleging that the Jeep Wrangler 4xe was marketed with a fire risk related to its lithium-ion battery packs. The lawsuit, involving nine complainants from seven states, claims that Stellantis should have been aware of the potential defect before launching the vehicles. Stellantis disputes the allegations and has initiated recalls and repairs.
Stellantis is cutting jobs at two U.S. Jeep manufacturing plants to reduce costs. The move affects operations at the Mack Avenue plant in Detroit, which makes Jeep Grand Cherokees, and at the Toledo plant, known for producing Wranglers and Jeep Gladiators.
