We have a lot to talk about with the Wrangler 4xe. Continue reading as we go over all it has to offer!
THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT
Power Through
Climb over tough obstacles and go an electrifying 0-60 mph in 6 seconds. A plug-in hybrid turbocharged engine gives the Wrangler 4xe an impressive 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of instant torque for heart-pounding performance off-road and on-road.
Charging Made Simple
Every Wrangler 4xe is delivered with a Level I (120V) charging system that plugs into a typical household outlet. You can get an even faster charge with an available safe, simple-to-use Level II (240V) charger like the Mopar® Branded TurboDX Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger. You can utilize Qmerit, our approved partner, for installation. The Level II charger can fully charge the Wrangler 4xe battery in approximately 2 hours versus 12 hours.
THE TECH THAT MAKES IT HAPPEN
Hybrid Mode
The default mode, Hybrid, combines torque from both the 2.0L turbocharged engine and the electric motors. This combination provides maximum horsepower, instant torque, and the best acceleration. Electric power is consumed first.
Electric Mode
When the battery has more than a 1% charge, it can run in Electric Mode. This allows for nearly zero tailpipe emissions up to highway speeds. The vehicle can run in this mode for up to 21 miles.
HOW FAR CAN YOU GO?
Say Goodbye to Range Anxiety
Whether you want to take an off-road adventure to new places or get around town on all-electric power, the Wrangler 4xe is ready with an EPA estimated 49 MPGe rating. E-Selec driving modes that utilize Power Routing enable you to optimize performance while eliminating range anxiety.
Tune In To Nature
Quiet electric power means you can truly take in the natural sights and sounds around you. But your 4xe is unique, and you may hear some unfamiliar sounds. It sounds like the whoosh of the Pedestrian Alert System when driving below 20 mph, the high voltage contactors clicking when you start up and shut down as well as the Electric Air Conditioning compressor.
FORGING THE FUTURE
ESave Mode
eSave Mode prioritizes the 2.0L engine. This saves the battery charge for later use. When power demand is low, the engine shuts off. It can also be reconfigured to increase the battery charge as well.
Regenerative Braking
This feature allows the battery to be charged when decelerating and braking. The Max Regeneration feature remaps the accelerator pedal to command more aggressive regen at low pedal positions. It allows you to slow the vehicle down without the brake pedal, but a complete stop always requires the brake pedal. It also stays selected until you turn it off.
