Jeep Magneto 2.0: an electric 4x4 heavyweight that is becoming a reality

Jeep has unveiled the updated EV Magneto 2.0 concept, which once again shows what the iconic SUV could look like as an all-electric vehicle.

The Magneto 2.0 now operates at a lower rpm, with a higher maximum power rating, now capable of delivering up to 10 seconds long. So it offers just 1152 nm of torque and 625 horsepower.

Battery system 70 kWh in Magneto 2.0 it is similar to the previous concept shown last year. Divided into four sections and spread across the Wrangler body to ensure even weight distribution. Magneto 2.0 is approximately 3.5 times faster than the previous model and with a 2-second time from 0 to 100 km/h. This makes it a concept Magneto 2.0 faster than Tesla Model X Plaid, Rivian R1S, Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and GMC Hummer EV. Interesting!

The Magneto 2.0 has some other visual changes: the front grille is now painted black, and there is an upper "bull part" with a sunroof. White stripes were added on the sides that fade to blue on the back, and a subtle "2.0" badge was added to the Magneto branding. The Magneto 2.0 also wears 20-inch wheels with 40-inch tires compared to last year's 35-inch tires, and the vehicle has also been lifted slightly.
