This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in electric SUV. The Wrangler 4xe has 35km / 49 miles of EV range which is not a lot. We used most of it quite quickly so it’s important to plug-in often to see the savings at the pump. The Rubicon 4xe earns a combined city/highway rating of 4.8L/100km, 49 MPG. With the battery depleted it gets a combined city/highway rating of 11.7L/100km, 20 MPG.
The Rubicon diesel gets 10.2L/100 km, 23 MPG combined which is better fuel economy than this PHEV when the EV range is depleted. The 4Xe comes with a 2L turbocharged engine and two electric motors matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. There are three driving modes, Hybrid, Electric and Esave. Hybrid is the best of both worlds and the default mode, which combines torque from the engine and the electric motors giving it maximum horsepower, instant torque and the best acceleration. Electric mode uses battery power only and Esave mode saves the battery charge for later use. Maybe you plan to hit a trail and want near-silent exploring but still want maximum horsepower and torque.The Wrangler’s 4xe 400-volt, 17 kWh battery pack sits under the second row seat to protect it from outside elements and to preserve the interior space. The battery can be charged in 2 hours using a level II charger (240 volt) or 12 hours using the included Level I charger (120 volt).The Unlimited Sahara starts at $54,995 CAD/$47,995 USD. Sahara High Altitude, $59,990 CAD (not available in the US). Unlimited Rubicon $59,995 CAD /$51,695 USD
and the High Altitude trim which is only available in the US for $53,815 USD.
Our Rubicon 4xe test model comes in at $74,340 CAD.
Ride In Style in the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe The Rubicon comes with blue contrast stitching throughout the cabin; it offers a comfortable and cozy interior with an 8.4” touchscreen, a 7” information display and Apple Carplay and Android Auto. The Unlimited Sahara and Sahara High Altitude both come with red stitching. Our test model has a few extras, which is why it’s priced at $74,340 CAD. The Rubicon comes standard with cloth seats, but we have leather-faced seats with the Rubicon logo, a leather shifter and parking brake for $1,095 CAD. The Cold Weather Package will get you the heated steering wheel, heated front seats and remote start system for just under $1,000 CAD. You also have to pay extra for blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, rear park assist and forward collision warning. The Sky-One Touch power top for just under $4,000 CAD is worth the extra money in my opinion just for the convenience.The Jeep Wrangler is a top performer for maintaining its value. CarEdge states it will depreciate only 31% over 5 years. The 4xe is a new model; there are no predicted depreciation or reliability numbers at this time. JD Power gives the 2021 Jeep Wrangler a predicted quality and reliability score of 81/100.
