Jeep has announced its first electric SUV, which is set to go on sale in 2023. Little is known about the new car beyond a couple of photos. In 2024, there will be a family SUV and an electric Jeep dedicated to off-road vehicles. On March 1, 2022, Jeep's parent company Stellantis announced that Jeep's first all-electric SUV will go on sale in 2023. announced its business plan. The plan assumes a massive shift to electric vehicles. The conglomerate, which owns a number of brands including Chrysler, Dodge, Maserati and Fiat, declined to provide details on the forthcoming Jeep electric vehicle.
Unique Looks SUVs
But, we have a rough idea of what the electric Jeep will look like from the two teaser photos released by Stellantis. With a seven-slot front grille and an aggressive, chunky look, the new electric SUV also retains Jeep's signature design. Also, the rear door handles are mounted higher up by the window instead of in their traditional location. The yet-to-be-named SUV will likely be smaller than the Compass or Renegade, but we won't know for sure until more information is revealed.
Similarly, the range, horsepower and price of the new electric jeep are also unknown at this time. Stellatis did not disclose where the EV will be sold when it goes on sale in early 2023, and a spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. In a presentation on March 1, 2022, Stellantis said two more electric jeeps would arrive in 2024. It is said to be an off-road-only utility vehicle and a family SUV. The off-road-only utility vehicle could be an EV version of the Wrangler, which unveiled an EV concept vehicle in 2021. ( ALSO READ )

Stellantis' plan is for other major automakers, such as Ford, Volkswagen, and General Motors, to see Tesla's success and to reinvent itself as an electric car maker. It's a similar move to pouring billions of dollars (several trillion yen) into it. BYD plans to launch the electric vehicle "ATTO3" in Japan.
The ATTO3 middle SUV, which is the first entry into the market, adopts BYD's proprietary lithium phosphate battery "Blade Battery", which does not catch fire or burn even with a strong impact such as penetrating the battery pack, and has high energy density. The "Blade Battery" has a thin and long shape like a "sword" to improve space efficiency, and by using the battery cells themselves as components of the battery pack, it also increases the strength of the battery and vehicle body. Offers an 8-year, 150,000-km battery warranty.
BYD is an electric vehicle manufacturer founded in the battery business headquartered in China, and sells EV passenger cars and EV commercial vehicles in more than 70 countries and regions around the world. Even in Japan, it has a market share of about 70% in EV buses.
Luxury Cars
Electric vehicles continue to evolve, about 70% in EV market. From subcompact cars to luxury SUVs, the range of electric vehicles is now vast and continues to grow. Electric vehicles are no longer a dream of the future, even for commercial vehicles. And in many cases, new brands have even been created to position the new e-models. Among the new electric vehicles that will debut before 2024, we will pick up and introduce the hottest models.
Thanks to advances in battery technology and the simultaneous expansion of charging infrastructure, electric vehicles are becoming an alternative to traditional internal combustion engines. Big manufacturers like VW, Audi, BMW and Mercedes are planning to launch fully electric vehicle families in the next few years, but smaller companies are also working on their own electric vehicles.
We've selected 32 of the most important electric vehicle innovations set to debut by 2024, along with photo galleries. Like the compact Corsa, the second-generation Opel Mokka will be launched as a combustion engine and purely electric model. As part of the Mini's facelift, the electric variant "SE" has also been improved. The powertrain continues to maintain its performance of 184 horsepower and a maximum cruising range of 234 km. A mini EV that looks just like it looks. Do you want to make a hit this time?
Tesla Model X Facelift
In addition to minor visual changes and a strangely shaped steering wheel, the "Model X" gets a new top-of-the-line engine called the "Plaid" with 1034 horsepower and a range of 547 kilometers. Minor change model announced the other day. By the way, how about the evaluation of that steering wheel?
Gorgeous and really fast with its steering wheel and wheels works wonders. As the top model of the Lucid Air “Dream Edition”, this electric car runs from 0 to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds. What makes this possible are two electric motors that produce 1080 horsepower. Tesla's Gachinko rival. The price is close to 9 million yen, but it is sufficiently luxurious.
Mercedes EQA
The 190 hp basic 250 version SUV has a range of 426 km. A 272-horsepower version and an all-wheel-drive version will follow to make up the model lineup. The maximum cruising range is about 500km. A lineup that can be said to be the favorite of the EQ series. Price may be your biggest concern.

BMW is planning an electric 1 Series based on an internal combustion engine. BMW could offer both a single-engine, front-wheel-drive entry model and an all-wheel-drive variant driven by two electric motors on a compact and flexible platform.

BMW i4

With its massive kidney grille and narrow headlights, the study model offers a glimpse of the i4's design. The production model will have a range of 600km from the 530hp electric motor.

Subaru Electric SUV
Market debut: 2021
The Forester-sized midsize SUV will be based on Toyota's e-TNGA platform. No model name yet. Rumor has it that it will be called "Evoltis".To be honest, the details are still undecided, but it is clear that Subaru's EV is an SUV. I'm pretty curious how far the exterior design is futuristic like this photo.
BMW iX
Price: Approximately 100,000 euros (approximately 12.8 million yen); Market debut. 2021Despite its weight of 2.5 tons, the iX accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds thanks to its 500 horsepower.
