Uconnect 5 Builds Upon Its Most Advanced System Ever With New Connected Services Offerings
The most advanced Uconnect system ever continues to expand its functionality with new features and services to enhance the vehicle ownership experience. Available across Stellantis vehicle brands, including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, Wagoneer by Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo, Uconnect 5’s Android operating system brings access to a broad catalog of applications to answer the rapidly developing demand for an improved user experience (UX).
Available new Uconnect 5 and Maserati Intelligent Assistant systems include the following features and services for select 2024 model-year vehicles:
- 2024 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee equipped with Uconnect 5 NAV and Jeep Connect or Wagoneer Connect include two new features – Adventure Guides and GPS Trail Logs – that help make finding off-road trails easier
- The expanding portfolio of Stellantis hybrid and battery-electric vehicles, including the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale and Dodge Hornet, come equipped with standard Uconnect 5, while the Maserati Grand Turismo and Grecale come equipped with the Maserati Intelligent Assistant. Each vehicle includes connected services that help owners understand the vehicle’s available remaining charge. With features like Dynamic Range Mapping, once a destination is entered into the navigation, the systems’ included software algorithms calculate and visually display the range that can be traveled based on the vehicle’s state of charge. The system can then provide alerts if the vehicle needs recharging along the route with a list of nearby, available charging stations. Charging schedules can be managed directly from the touchscreen or the vehicle brand mobile app
- Fleet managers can easily bulk enroll their vehicles into Fleet Connect to receive connected services. Small-business owners or fleet managers will have the ability to access the vehicle data they need to keep their fleet maintained and moving and to help reduce overall cost of ownership. For example, rental car companies can access an API (Application Programming Interface) to help them expedite check-in and check-out of the vehicles in their fleet
