Let’s dive into this exciting vehicle and find out what 2024 has in store!

Changes for the 2024 Wrangler 4xe

Every Jeep Wrangler 4xe, regardless of trim level, has a new touchscreen infotainment center this year, measuring a whopping 12.3 inches. It can be paired with your phone wirelessly so that you can utilize your navigation app or listen to your favorite podcasts, audiobooks, and playlists while you travel. It’s even sun-resistant so that, should you take the top down, you’ll still be able to see where your next turn will be. As a bonus, this infotainment center sits on a rest that doubles as a place to steady your hand while you look through your media libraries or adjust your navigation, which comes in handy when you’re traversing narrow dirt roads or hilly terrain.

Along with the upgraded infotainment interface, you’ll also see that the antenna placement has changed; instead of having an exterior antenna that could get bent or torn off, the antenna is now placed inside the windshield, enveloped in the glass to protect it from the elements. This also allows a slight reduction in noise and a slight boost to peace of mind, as this prolongs the life of your antenna—a welcome change from having to replace it after particularly rough weather or an off-road mishap.

It is a welcome trait to any vehicle—but especially the Wrangler—to take the doors and top off to enjoy the breeze. The rollover structure is still intact, of course, and there is a confidence booster in the side-curtain rollover airbags, which are embedded in the rollover frame in case of an emergency. While they aren’t incredibly noticeable, their value is unmistakable: brain injuries and deaths due to side-impact crashes are reduced by almost half when a vehicle is equipped with these side-curtain rollover airbags, according to crash test results.

Six Spectacular Trim Levels

The base trim level for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the Sport S. Available in ten colors, this classic stunner is a sight to behold. You can choose between a two- or four-door body, and—whichever you choose—you’ll have a PHEV powertrain (a 2.0L Turbo I-4 and 17-kWh battery, combining for 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

LED lighting from head to tail ensures you’ll always have a way to illuminate the road you’re on. Powered and heated mirrors help you keep an eye on your environment, even if you’re powering through rain or snow. You can also use voice commands to control your infotainment system.

Preceded by the Willys, which affords aesthetic and comfort upgrades, the Sahara trim and those above it now come with a 12-way power driver’s seat, which is perfect for taking turns at the wheel as you go cross country, ford bodies of water, and the like. This was previously unavailable due to the difficulty of creating a system that could be utilized even when the Wrangler was over its tires in water.

The Sahara trim is the first to include the Premium Cabin package at no cost. It includes comfort and convenience features like front side windows made of double-paned glass and additional insulation surrounding the windshield, which work together for considerable noise reduction, making your trip quieter and amenable to conversation.

The Rubicon trim has the option to include a Warn winch in its array of helpful equipment. You may see some slight changes to Rubicon models because of this due to a need to both house and support the winch; these changes were made to the grille and bumper, offering a more robust house for the winch.

The highest trim level of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe—the Rubicon X, which follows the lux High Altitude—features a body-color three-piece hard top, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a suite of E-Selec driving modes for your PHEV powertrain. If you’ve ever wanted to take an absolute beast on the trail, this one’s for you.

Additional Packages & Features

The Wrangler 4xe is a plug-in hybrid that combines electric motors with a gas engine to explore the wild. With so many charging stations popping up across North America, it’s likely the Wrangler 4xe will continue to rise in popularity. Note, too, that—for 2024—there are more trim choices than ever before, making it more attractive to a wider audience.

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Willys has undergone the most changes of any trim, with new 33-inch all-terrain tires, an electronically locking rear differential, rock rails, and new fenders and axles that raise ground clearance to make rock climbing easier. This trim can also be had with either two or four doors and a manual transmission.

As mentioned above, the Warn winch is new this year for the Wrangler—and while it’s only available on the pair of Rubicons in the 4xe lineup, it’s well worth it, being rated at 8,000 lbs. The changes it makes to the grille and bumper have only enhanced the Wrangler’s look, and both Jeep and Warn have worked together to ensure its safety and ease of use. If you’re going mudding, visiting the beach, or living in a snowy area, it might be a good idea to invest in this particular addition.
