The verdict

What's good

  • Electric mode covers most short daily errands gas-free
  • PHEV torque boosts low-speed rock-crawling capability significantly
  • Removable doors and roof remain unique in any segment
  • Massive aftermarket ecosystem lowers long-term customization cost

What's not

  • PHEV battery adds weight, worsening on-road handling further
  • Only 21 miles of electric range limits real-world EV savings
  • Known electrical gremlins reported across early 4xe builds
  • 17-gallon tank limits gas range compared to non-PHEV Wrangler

The engine

4xe

2.0L Turbo I4 Plug-in Hybrid

Two electric motors fill in for the turbo four, giving 375 hp and 470 lb-ft with instant, silent torque that's ideal for crawling trails in all-electric mode. The combination delivers muscular response while letting the Wrangler tackle obstacles without engine noise.

Launched for 2021, the 4xe was Jeep's first plug-in hybrid, with production beginning in 2020. It pairs Stellantis's global turbocharged 2.0-liter four with a two-motor hybrid system, and the Wrangler chassis was engineered from the outset to package the battery.
