We first drove the Jeep 4xe when it made its debut. Our latest experience was behind the wheel of the Wrangler Rubicon 4xe hybrid. If you’re a die-hard Jeep fan, and can’t imagine a Jeep that incorporates electric, think again.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Unlimited Rubicon blends the iconic ruggedness of the Wrangler with modern electrification, presenting a compelling option for eco-conscious off-road enthusiasts. Its plug-in hybrid system offers improved fuel efficiency without compromising performance. The combination of a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors provides ample power, delivering smooth acceleration both on and off the pavement.
Off-road capabilities remain exceptional, thanks to Jeep’s legendary 4×4 prowess and the Rubicon trim’s off-road enhancements. With features like electronically locking front and rear differentials, heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, and a disconnecting front sway bar, the Wrangler 4xe Unlimited Rubicon conquers challenging terrain with ease.
Inside, the cabin retains its rugged charm while incorporating modern amenities. The intuitive infotainment system supports smartphone integration and navigation, ensuring connectivity wherever your adventures take you. Comfortable seating and ample cargo space make long journeys or off-road excursions enjoyable for all occupants.
While the electrified powertrain adds weight, it doesn’t significantly detract from the Wrangler’s legendary capability. However, the limited all-electric range might leave some wanting more for daily commuting. Overall, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Unlimited Rubicon successfully marries traditional off-road prowess with eco-friendly innovation, making it a top contender in the growing hybrid SUV market.
The cars are the stars and this one gets 3.5 of them.
