Jeep continues to highlight its commitment to electrification with the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid.
“Jeep Wrangler 4xe is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged gas engine, two electric motors and a high-voltage battery pack, delivering 49 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe), 21 miles of all-electric range and zero range anxiety,” stated the company.
For 2025, the Wrangler 4xe continues to hold its position as a leader in the PHEV market.“Jeep Wrangler 4xe, the best-selling PHEV in America three years in a row.”
“Uncompromising approach (43.9 in.), departure (37.0) and breakover angles (22.6) with 10.9 inches of ground clearance.”
Powertrain
Further emphasizing the capabilities of the 4xe powertrain, Jeep provides a detailed breakdown of its components and operation.
-2.0-liter turbocharged I-4
-Engine-mounted motor generator unit
-Transmission-mounted motor generator unit integrated into eight-speed automatic transmission
-400-volt, 17-kWh, 96-cell, lithium-ion, nickel manganese cobalt battery pack
-TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission
-Powertrain output is 375 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. torque”
For Wrangler 4xe owners who want to use their vehicle as a power source for outdoor adventures, Jeep offers the 4xe Power Box. “Select Wrangler 4xe models offer a Jeep 4xe Power Box that features four 120-volt outlets with 30 amps of total output, allowing the battery pack to power external devices, such as phones and tablets,” the company added.
Recognizing that drivers will encounter a variety of situations, Jeep has equipped the Wrangler 4xe with multiple drive modes to optimize efficiency and performance.
These selectable drive modes allow the driver to prioritize electric-only operation, hybrid driving, or battery conservation.
-Hybrid: The default mode blends torque from the 2.0-liter engine and electric motor. In this mode, the powertrain will use battery power first, then add in propulsion from the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 when the battery reaches minimum state of charge.
-Electric: The powertrain operates on zero-emission electric power only until the battery reaches the minimum charge or the driver requests more torque (such as wide-open throttle), which engages the 2.0-liter engine.
-eSave: Prioritizes propulsion from the 2.0-liter engine, saving the battery charge for later use, such as EV off-roading or urban areas where internal combustion propulsion is restricted. The driver can also choose between Battery Save and Battery Charge during eSave via the Hybrid Electric Pages in the Uconnect monitor.”
With its legendary capability, iconic design, and array of available powertrains, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler continues to be a compelling choice in the SUV market.
