A tall trapezoidal vent, located at the front fender-front door cut line, is home to the circular Trail Rated badge. Tucked beneath this horizontal element is a recessed running board, accented by a silver molding. The lower body, which kicks outward along the bottoms of the doors, intersects the flares crisply. The specially-crafted tires are accented by a red stripe, with the red color repeated on the exposed brake calipers. The flares enclose large 22-inch, five-spoke wheels, each with a hefty 34-inch overall diameter. The body in turn tapers toward the front in plan view to expose more of the flares and accent the wide stance. “Each presents a ‘long side’ angled toward the center of the body.” “The flares are stretched and pulled taut at one end,” Vardis said. Partly trapezoidal in shape, yet not asymmetrical, these angular, crisply-contoured wheel flares reinterpret one of Jeep’s fundamental design cues. The stance is broad, and the wheels, pushed to the corners of the vehicle, are enclosed in robust flares dramatically offset from the body. The forward motion of the body is further accented by the drive of the raising beltline. Vardis said the body side is muscular and broad-shouldered, with the sheet metal pulled into shape, much like a drawn arrow in the bow of a skilled archer. The dash-to-front-axle dimension is dramatically long, giving the vehicle a sense of forward motion, while the front and rear overhangs are tight and abbreviated.“ “The key to the look of the Trailhawk,” said Nick Vardis, Principal Exterior Designer, “is the vehicle’s distinctive proportions, due in part to its 116-inch wheelbase. Built off the new Wrangler platform, the Jeep Trailhawk is a more refined highway cruiser without sacrificing any of Jeep’s legendary off-road capabilities. The Jeep Trailhawk concept merges the spectrum of the Jeep brand by combining the core off-road features of the new body-on-frame four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the refined sophistication of an all-new on-road open-air concept vehicle, providing a unique and fresh expression for Jeep. They have begun installing solar-powered charging stations near off-road trails and have also started offering high speed at-home chargers that charge up to six times quicker than a level I charger does.Īdditional features of the Trailhawk trim including blue tow hooks, a 4xe hood decal, blue accent badging, a whole host of safety features, leather trimmed seats with blue accent stitching, and a class-exclusive sway bar disconnect add to the appeal of the 2023 Trailhawk, and although we are a bit shocked to see it offered only in hybrid form, it is a demonstration from a company that strives to get more people outdoors that they actually do care about the environment and are keeping up with innovation and design.Chrysler Auburn Hills Studio design team under Trevor Creed However, they have also improved their support, technology, and features to keep the truck desirable and relevant. Jeep has upped the ante by making the popular Trailhawk trim option available only as 4xe (plug-in hybrid). Finally, the eSave mode puts the Trailhawk back into ICE only usage and saves battery power. Electric Mode allows the Trailhawk to operate using only the EV system and emit almost no emissions. In Hybrid mode, the Jeep will combine the force of both the ICE and electric motors to provide maximum horsepower, instant torque, and great acceleration. The three driving modes available on the Trailhawk include Hybrid Mode, Electric Mode, and eSave Mode.
