Jeep hybrid SUVs bring you impressive capability, performance and efficiency. Plug-in hybrid technology is the first step in Jeep’s mission to offer a full line of zero-emission SUVs. So what is plug-in hybrid technology? Jeep plug-in hybrid technology pairs a traditional gas engine with electric motor performance, giving you the best of both worlds. There’s no need for range anxiety either, thanks to the partnership between Jeep 4xe technology and the support of your Jeep’s gas-powered engine. Jeep electrification offers near silent, pure EV-driven performance when in Electric mode.
Drive Modes
Electric Mode allows for nearly zero tailpipe emissions up to highway speeds. The Wrangler 4xe can run on this mode for a distance of up to 21 total miles on a full charge. The default Hybrid Mode combines torque from both the PHEV powertrain with 2.0L DOHC DI Turbo I4 engine and the electric motor. This combination provides maximum horsepower, instant torque and thrilling acceleration. In this mode, electric power is consumed first. Lastly, eSave Mode prioritizes the 2.0L engine, saving 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 regeneration 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.
Charging Options
The battery can be fully charged in approximately 2 hours using an available Level II charger) (240V), or 12 hours using the included Level I charger (120V). With the ability to charge at home and work, you can enjoy the benefits of fully electric daily commutes. Jeep is working to establish a Jeep 4xe Charging Network across America for 4xe owners. These stations will allow you to continue your electrified adventures in some of the most remote destinations, including Jeep Badge of Honor off-road trailheads.
Jeep has also partnered with Qmerit to make installing a Level II charger at your home simple. For most home configurations, it’s as easy as providing some information about your home layout and electrical panel. The free estimate will take only 5-10 minutes, and you can decide when to move forward at your convenience.
4XE Battery
4xe batteries are safely sealed behind a waterproof casing to help you traverse bodies of water up to 31.5 inches deep. That means Wrangler 4xe offers the same water fording capability as its gas-powered counterparts, sacrificing nothing. The Jeep® Brand 4xe battery is built for distant destinations. Travel through remote landscapes with nearly silent performance when in Electric mode and take advantage of the 21-mile all-electric range on Wrangler 4xe. Plus, with access to Level II charging station locations, it’s easy to plan your route and recharge along the way.
