While the automotive hybrid movement was spearheaded by Japanese automakers in the late 1990s, drivers of the first hybrids would be utterly floored by the eco-friendly designs and systems baked into the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. This 4x4 powerhouse of an off-roader looks nothing like the Kammback-tailed hybrids of yesteryear; but just because it looks like the off-road beast that it is doesn't mean the 4xe doesn't have serious eco-conscious cred.

1. More Power (Not Less)

One thing that would surprise owners of the underpowered hybrids of yesteryear is that the 2024 Wrangler 4xe offers significantly more power than its gas-powered siblings. Most Wranglers come with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 gasoline-only engine, offering 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. But the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drivetrain in the 4xe offers up to 375 total horsepower and a staggering 470 lb-ft of torque, amplifying the amount of off-road fun and capability in the 4xe.

2. Petroleum-Free Daily Drives

With an all-electric range of up to 21 miles on a full charge, most Wrangler drivers can skip out on pricey petrochemicals altogether for their daily commutes. And with more power companies than ever offering eco-friendly power source options like wind, geothermal, or solar, Wrangler 4xe drivers can not only reduce tailpipe emissions, but also reduce their emissions at the root source of power, too.

3. Zippy Charging

The 2024 Wrangler 4xe offers an estimated 49 mpge, drastically reducing fuel consumption overall. It also comes with a Level 1 charging cable, capable of juicing up your 4xe to a full charge in 12 hours. However, a simple-to-use and delightfully affordable Free2move Charge Level 2 EV Charger can charge the battery in just 2 hours, meaning that drivers can maximize their electric miles.

4. Solar-Powered Adventures

Jeep isn't stopping there, though, because they understand that electric chargers need to meet Jeeps where they're designed to go: off-road and on-trail. That's why Jeep is working to install solar-powered chargers at off-road trailheads across the United States, ensuring that Wrangler 4xe drivers can top off the juice and defend their environment even as they conquer it.

5. Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking has been around the hybrid world for a long time, but Jeep has integrated it into the Wrangler 4xe, and a special Max Regeneration mode reconfigures the accelerator pedal to enable more aggressive regeneration at low pedal positions. That means you can not only slow the Wrangler 4xe without a brake pedal, confident that it's actively charging the battery, but also knowing that the mode remains engaged until you choose to disable it.

With so many eco-friendly features, there's no wonder the 2024 Wrangler 4xe keeps being a favor. Test-drive yours today at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Redford, MI, and discover what the "power" part of solar-powered feels like.

To help you decide between the two, this guide highlights each model's unique features and differences. Engine Options The 2025 Wrangler has a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine under the hood. This engine generates 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, which is more than enough for conquering rough terrains.

Fuel Economy and Range While both the Wrangler and the Wrangler 4xe are efficient vehicles, each engine has its own ratings and range.
