JAKARTA - The new Jeep Wrangler Xtreme Recon can go through 33.6 inches of water, but future Jeeps may go deeper than that.

In a recent presentation of electric vehicles by parent company Jeep Stellantis, a Wrangler was described as being able to stay driven when the car was completely submerged in water. That vision can come true.

"There was a bit of a flicker we had at the end, which probably post 2030, but I know a lot of fans and a lot of our community are asking for it", Jeep CEO Christian Meunier told The Detroit News. “There are some really, really crazy people in the Jeep community who have done that kind of thing with ICE, so you can imagine what a battery car could be like”.

Electric vehicles have no air inlet or outlet, so as long as the equipment is sealed and watertight, the engine can still operate underwater without any problems.

In fact, the currently available Wrangler Rubicon 4Xe plug-in hybrid, which has an all-electric range of 21 miles, is equipped with a waterproof battery and has been tested at a fording depth of 30 inches.

His abilities may remain useful even without diving equipment. Meunier is also teasing future off-road autonomous capabilities that will allow Jeep owners to drop their vehicles off in the wilderness and meet them at the location at the end of a hike, rafting trip, or other activity that could involve a body of water along the way.
