4 Innovative Features of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe

1. Class-Exclusive Plug-in Hybrid Technology

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the only vehicle in Ward’s Small Sport/Utility segment offering a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, and it doesn’t disappoint. Offering an impressive fuel efficiency of 49 mpge and an EPA-estimated total driving range of 370 miles, the 2.0-liter PHEV I4 DOHC engine in the Wrangler 4xe can take you far from home without needing to fuel up.

Don’t mistake the word hybrid as a synonym for underpowered, though. Leveraging the inherent benefits of an electric motor, the 4xe is rated up to 375 combined horsepower and a staggering 470 lb-ft of torque, allowing drivers to scoot down the road with up to 3,500 pounds of cargo in tow.

2. Tons of Towing

Available on Rubicon and Rubicon X 4xe Wranglers, the WARN Electric Front Winch package offers a reinforced steel front bumper and a factory-installed winch with a staggering 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. That makes the Rubicon and Rubicon X 4xe perfect for hauling other cars out of places they just weren’t designed to go.

3. Adventure Comes Built-In

Jeep is partnering with Trails Offroad, which provides Off-Road Trail Guides for drivers of all skill levels, which makes planning trips a snap. Drivers can use the Uconnect NAV touchscreen to find and navigate to trailheads or to send destinations to the nav system from the Jeep Brand app on their phones. The available Uconnect Vehicle Health Report sends feedback from your Wrangler 4xe straight to your phone, helping ensure it stays in tip-top shape for off-road adventures.

4. Safety Comes Standard

From the high-strength steel frame to standard first- and second-row side-curtain airbags, the Wrangler 4xe is built to keep you safe. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes and driveline traction control are standard, along with electronic stability control with anti-rollover technology.

But adaptive cruise control, front and rear collision warning, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross path detection are all available for safety-conscious drivers, while standard backup camera and optional Parksense rear park assistance can make nestling into tight spots a breeze. Additionally, available automatic high-beam headlamps can sense when they’re needed and turn off when oncoming traffic is detected, giving the brightest light when you need it most without risking blinding other drivers.

Regardless of the accomplishments of the Jeeps that came before it, the 2024 Wrangler 4xe is an incredible vehicle in its own right that has to be driven to be believed. Come in for a test drive today at Auffenberg Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Shiloh, IL.
