The Teaser Trail to Easter Jeep® Safari 2022 - Trail Marker 6

March 31, 2022 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Like all good comebacks, do you stick with the proven blueprint in all of its mind-boggling electrified glory or do you push the limits on legendary Jeep® 4x4 capability and off-road development even further? Fair to say the enthusiasts already know the answer. The story continues ...


This looks and sounds like a new and improved version of the original Magneto EV Concept from last year's EJS:

Hi,

Interesting to see if they actually offer a manual transmission version?

Regards,
Jim

0% chance they make a manual for a EV

Hi again,

Yeah my thoughts as well, but the link states 6 speed manual transmission.

One can only hope 3 pedals survive this next generation of vehicles...

Regards,
Jim

Magneto 20...?

Jeep must have hired the marketing staff from Microsoft; they love to use last year in the name when they launch a brand new application.

These "Concept " vehicles prove that the 4 door may have higher sales numbers , BUT the 2 Door generates more interest, loves and likes. This is why it will never go away, and will carry forward in the EVs coming soon.

What the hell?!? Am I missing something? The release says "all-electric" but has a manual 6 speed. Does not compute....

The first Magneto concept was a manual. Basically the electric motor was bolted up to a traditional drivetrain.

I agree but I wish I could be as certain. Idiots do make it to the executive ranks on occasion. Just look at Ford.
