Joining the Jeep lineup in 2021 is the Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. Initially available in the four-door Sahara and Rubicon trim levels, the 4xe will offer all of the Wrangler’s versatility and legendary off-road capability. With its removable roof and doors and fold-flat windshield, the 4xe enables you to enjoy wind-in-the-hair freedom along with whisper-quiet electric power.
Plug-In Hybrid Power
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine integrated with two electric motors and a 400-volt, 17-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. The powertrain has an output of 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, which will take you from zero to 60 mph in just 6 seconds.
You can travel up to 25 miles on electric-only power in the Wrangler 4xe, and with an EPA-estimated 50 mpg of gasoline-equivalent, it has a total range of more than 400 miles. E-Selec driving modes enable you to choose from Electric for using only battery power or E-Save to reserve battery power for later. For the best of both worlds, select Hybrid mode.
Fully charging the battery will take around two hours with a Level 2 charger. While driving, the 4xe utilizes regenerative braking, while selecting battery charge mode uses the engine to replenish the battery.
Off-Road Performance
The Trail Rated Wrangler 4xe offers Jeep’s unstoppable off-road performance with superb traction, maneuverability, and articulation. Sahara models feature a Selec-Trac full-time four-wheel-drive system, a two-speed transfer case, Dana 44 heavy-duty axles, skid plates, and 20-inch wheels.
For even more capability, the Rubicon trim gets a 4:1 Rock-Trac heavy-duty four-wheel-drive system, electronic locking front and rear differentials, electronic disconnecting front stabilizer bar, rock rails, tougher shocks, and 17-inch wheels with 33-inch off-road tires. With 10.8 inches of ground clearance, you can ford water up to 30 inches deep.
Exterior Features
Wrangler 4xe launch models feature unique badging. They come standard with a black fabric roof, or you can choose from several hardtop and soft top options. The Sahara 4xe offers a chrome-accented body-color grille, body-color fender flares, deep-tinted glass, heated power mirrors, and LED headlights, daytime running lights, fog lights, and taillights.
The Rubicon 4xe features dramatic electric blue coloring on the badging, hood, and tow hooks. Along with its enhanced off-road features, it gets a dual-vented hood with Rubicon decals.
Interior Styling
Inside, the Sahara’s versatile cabin features remote entry, push-button start, leather-trimmed bucket seats, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, a color 7-inch cluster display, automatic temperature control, a leather-bound steering wheel, LED ambient lighting, and a 115-volt power outlet. The Rubicon adds unique styling details and electric blue contrast stitching on the seats and trim.
Technology
The Uconnect infotainment system includes an 8.4-inch touch screen that displays hybrid details such as charge percentage and remaining range. You also get navigation, a Wi-Fi hot spot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, integrated voice control with Bluetooth, and a media hub with USB and auxiliary inputs.
