With the rising fuel costs and growing environmental concerns, plug-in hybrid vehicles couldn’t have come at a better time. But how do the Jeep 4xe models compare to their traditional gasoline-powered counterparts on the market? For this comparison, we’ll pit the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe against the regular 2023 Jeep Wrangler to show which option is better for off-road enthusiasts in Downey, CA.
Once you have decided which one is ideal for you, head to Champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT near Wildness Park to see your preferred model in person and take it on a test drive.
First up, the powertrains. Both vehicles come with robust engine options to power your daily adventures. The standard on the 2023 Jeep Wrangler is a 3.6 liter V6 that pumps out 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Other available engines include:
The engines work with a seven-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels simultaneously. Â
On the other hand, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor that makes up to 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. However, this engine is backed by a 17KW lithium-ion battery that allows for up to 25 miles range on electricity alone. So, you can go on short road trips emission-free without using fuel. The hybrid engine setup also provides instant torque, which can be very beneficial, especially when climbing rocks at low speeds. Equipped with a standard all-wheel-drive system, Wranglers perform admirably well on tough terrains. Their towing capacity is also the same, coming in at 3500 lbs.
