The Jeep Wrangler 4xe combines the best of both worlds for Jeep lovers. Not only does it provide the speed and power you would expect from a Jeep, but it also has an electric motor to increase fuel efficiency. As one of the most powerful Wranglers on the market, the mechanics of this plug-in hybrid are so artfully designed that the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe has earned a lot of attention.
2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Basics
The Wrangler 4xe is available in three models: Sahara, Rubicon, and High Altitude. The gas engine is a 2.0-liter I4 Turbo PHEV that is capable of producing a total of 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque with the electric motor combined. In terms of fuel economy, it has an estimated 49 MPGe with a total driving range of up to 370 miles.
Driving Modes
The Wrangler 4xe utilizes three modes of driving in order to save gas and provide power when you need it. Hybrid mode is the default, it provides the maximum horsepower by combining power from the gas engine and the electric power of the battery.
Electric mode on the other hand allows you to run only on battery power and can take you up to 21 miles before you will need to use the gas engine. Finally, eSave mode primarily uses the gas engine in order to conserve the battery charge. You can also configure eSave so that the engine helps to recharge the battery while you drive.
Appearance and Technology
The base Sahara model comes in over a dozen colors, with 20-inch aluminum wheels and a Sunrider soft-top roof. Adaptable cargo features are available to secure your belongings in the trunk, and the addition of heated leather seats can make your ride more comfortable. The infotainment system has a standard 8.4-inch display that is compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa and can be used as a WiFi hotspot.
Safety Features
Radar-based sensors provide you with increased security through available features such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-path detection. Front and rear cameras with park assist can make it easier to get into tight spaces and the ParkSense system will alert you if there is anything in your way. Plus the steel frame of the Wrangler on top of its solid foundation provides superior protection on any terrain.
Pricing
The 2021 Wrangler Sahara 4xe starts at $49,805 MSPR and can be upgraded to include half doors with premium uppers for an additional $4,395. The middle trim, and also the most off-road equipped, is the Rubicon, starting at $53,505 MSRP. The Rubicon includes the Rock-Trac system, off-road tires, and blue tow hooks. The High Altitude model starts at $55,624 MSRP and includes leather-trimmed seats, a three-piece hardtop, and blindspot monitoring.
Trail-Rated
The Wrangler 4xe is not what you might expect from a hybrid vehicle. Namely, instead of the electric motor making it less powerful, it actually increases this Wrangler’s capability. The Wrangler 4xe has instant torque for rock crawling, and even when explicitly using the electric motor it is able to keep up the acceleration.
Additionally, even though the hybrid motor makes this Wrangler exceptionally quiet, when you want to know that it is pulling it hums reassuringly according to the pressure applied to the pedal. Plus, Jeep intends to install public chargers for PHEVs like the Wrangler 4xe at trailheads throughout the U.S. so you never have to worry about the battery running low on your adventure.
The Jeep Wranglers stand out in the crowd because of their classic design and rugged good looks. The technology in the Wrangler 4xe allows it to continue to be one of the most powerful Jeeps with the addition of an eco-friendly electric motor. There are so many great features about this new Wrangler that the best way to really get to know it is by taking one for a test drive. Contact Ourisman CDJ Alexandria today for more information.
