Stellantis will stop producing all PHEVs for the 2026 model year, including the best-selling Wrangler 4xe and Cherokee.
Another popular electric vehicle bites the dust, with Stellantis cancelling Jeep’s plug-in hybrid (PHEV) lineup, starting with the 2026 model year.
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has been the top-selling PHEV in America for the past few years, with the Grand Cherokee 4xe not far behind. Stellantis also makes the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV. All are now discontinued, not paused, as The Drive first reported. The Wrangler and Grand Cherokee have been removed from the Jeep website, but the Chrysler Pacifica remains.
In a statement, Stellantis pinned the move on a change in « regulatory requirements » and « customer demand », implying a decline in EV demand. But the company has also been experiencing quality issues; it recalled all 4xe vehicles in November due to a combination of software issues and battery fire risks, Kelley Blue Book reports.
