    The PHEV Jeep Wrangler 4xe testifies to the commitment of the brand to blending cutting-edge efficiency with the Wrangler’s iconic open-air freedom. For the 2024 model, the Wrangler 4xe comes with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, delivering 637 Newton-meters of torque, 375 horsepower, and mind-boggling performance with a full-float Dana rear axle.

    The Jeep Wrangler 4xe boasts a revamped exterior with a trail-ready stealth antenna, distinctive seven-slot grille, and versatile open-air configurations. The cabin is equipped with luxurious amenities like a cutting-edge 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. Safety has been prioritized with the inclusion of forward collision warning, first- and second-row side curtain airbags, and advanced cruise control. The Hispanic Motor Press acclaimed the Wrangler 4xe as the Adventure Vehicle of the Year earlier this month.
