This 650-hp electric Wrangler with a manual transmission could be the future of not just an iconic nameplate but off-roading as a whole.
? That still seemed more like a distant dream than a reality. Could voracious Jeep enthusiasts ever back a fully electric powertrain? Jeep engineers sought to find out.
The Magneto's first iteration featured an axial flux electric motor from Webasto where the internal combustion engine once sat, and it delivered 285 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The motor was powered by four lithium-ion battery packs with combined storage of 70 kWh, as well as an 800-volt architecture. This powered, the Magneto could accelerate from a standing stop to 60 mph in a claimed 6.8 seconds.
The Magneto 3.0's new, more efficient axial flux motor comes with fresh programming that is said to increase its max torque output to 900 lb-ft while also facilitating a 20 percent increase in usable energy and range. Jeep added utility with two selectable power settings: Standard, giving the driver access to 285 horsepower and 273 lb-ft, and Maximum, which unleashes 650 horsepower and full 900 lb-ft of twist.Similar to the feature found in the Jeep 4xe vehicles, Magneto 3.
When the transfer case is in low-range, an"aggressive hill-descent mode" can be selected, giving the driver one-pedal control over the vehicle for precision in rocky terrain or while descending hills. The regenerative brake, hill descent, and selectable power are all controlled via dash-mounted switches. A fourth switch labeled 'Air' could indicate the Jeep is now using the AccuAir pneumatic suspension, which would allow for on-the-fly adjustments to the Jeep's lift height.
