Let’s be real—adding batteries to a Wrangler sounds like sacrilege. But the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe doesn’t care. It’s here to prove that hybrid + trail-crawling = stupid fun. With 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque from its turbocharged 2.0L + electric combo, this thing doesn’t just climb rocks—it laughs at them.
Power & Performance: Electric Grunt, Gasoline Growl
The 4xe’s party trick? Instant electric torque for low-speed rock crawling, then a gas-powered punch when you need it. 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds (quicker than a V6 Wrangler), and it’ll still do 21 miles on electric-only mode—enough for silent, emissions-free off-roading.
Off-Road Cred: Unstoppable, Now With Plugs
Jeep didn’t soften it. The Selec-Terrain system, solid axles, and up to 10.8 inches of ground clearance are all here. The electric assist even helps with precise throttle control on tricky terrain. And yes, it’s still Rubicon-ready—because Jeep wouldn’t dare nerf its halo model.
Tech & Quirks: Less Guilt, More Gimmicks
The Uconnect 5 infotainment is slick (for a Jeep), and the regenerative braking feels oddly satisfying. But the real flex? Powering your campsite via the hybrid battery. Forget gas generators—your Wrangler’s now a 4×4 power bank.
The Verdict: A Wrangler That’s Smarter, Not Softer
The 4xe isn’t just a compliance play—it’s the most interesting Wrangler yet. Faster, techier, and still dirt-loving. Purists will whine, but who cares? This hybrid kicks more butt than most gas Jeeps.
Rating: 9/10
Pros: Ludicrous torque, legit off-road chops, silent crawling.
Cons: Heavy (5,300 lbs), pricey, and charging infra still meh.
