Exploring the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe

While the Jeep Wrangler has been a part of the lineup since 1986, the Wrangler 4xe is newer to the lineup, making its debut in 2021. Since then, it has turned many heads, offering both the classic capability of the original along with modern tech. The 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe also has an impressive drive range, courtesy of its PHEV configuration, with an estimated 370 miles of total driving range. However, the ability to go further is just the tip of the iceberg when discovering everything this SUV has to offer.

Class-Exclusive Technology

Starting with the base trim, Sport S 4xe, you will quickly see that there is nothing basic about the features the Jeep brand has included in the Wrangler 4xe. First, the Sport S 4xe is equipped with the largest-in-class Uconnect touchscreen, measuring 12.3 inches. That touchscreen gives you access to both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to listen to your favorite playlist as you navigate through the streets of Covington and beyond.

Additionally, when enrolled in Jeep Connect, you gain access to the Off-Road Pages+ package, which integrates available adventure guides and GPS trail logs for a seamless experience. The information is sent straight to your touchscreen, providing you with crisp, clear images and the confidence to explore beyond paved roads. Last but not least, there is also an available integrated trail-view camera.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe technology also includes an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that can host up to eight devices within a 50-foot radius of the vehicle. This is key when you and your friends or family are on a road trip, as it ensures that everyone can stay connected and entertained along the way.

For even more connectivity, you can access the available auxiliary switches to control things like lights, winches, off-road equipment, and more. Even better, the Jeep 4xe Power Box with two duplex 120V outlets and a 32-amp total output keeps you powered up wherever you need it most. This feature is standard on select Wrangler 4xe models, such as the Sahara and Rubicon.

Other technology features include an available digital cluster display that can be customized to track data such as speed and direction. This display also provides alerts about safety and security issues, ensuring you have the information you need to remain safe on the road. Last but not least, using the Jeep app, you can easily find your Wrangler 4xe in a busy parking lot, receive vehicle health reports, and operate certain features remotely—when equipped—such as starting or stopping the engine or locking the doors.

Classic Capability You’ve Come to Expect From a Wrangler

When it comes to capability, the Jeep brand has long led the way, giving you the chance to explore the road less traveled with ease. You might wonder how the Wrangler 4xe stacks up in this regard. After all, can a hybrid truly offer the same performance? The answer is yes. Not only that, but you might find that the Wrangler 4xe offers even more stability when navigating the trails due to its lower center of gravity.

Additionally, when comparing the numbers, Wrangler 4xe models offer more power and torque than many gas-powered options. For the 2025 model year, all Wrangler 4xe options come equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and two electric motors. This setup produces 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.

While all Wrangler 4xe trim levels allow you to enjoy both paved and unpaved roads, if you want to take off-roading to the next level, you can opt for the top-tier Backcountry trim. This trim level includes features like rock rails, steel front and rear bumpers, 20-inch black wheels, and all-terrain tires. It’s also outfitted with the above-mentioned Jeep Power Box and unique decals that help set it apart from the other trims in the lineup.

Beyond off-roading capabilities, you might wonder about the towing power of the Wrangler 4xe. When appropriately equipped, you can expect to haul up to 3,500 lbs, which is the same towing capability as most of the gas-powered Wranglers. This is more than enough to tow a travel trailer, small boat, or ATV trailer.

Charging Your Wrangler 4xe

Now that you know a bit more about what the Wrangler 4xe comes with, it makes sense to be curious about your charging options. First, it’s important to understand that the 4xe is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. This differs from a traditional hybrid in that the Wrangler 4xe needs to be plugged in to recharge. Using its electric capabilities only, you can drive up to 21 miles, while the electric and battery combined will provide you with up to 370 miles, as mentioned above.

Charging your Wrangler 4xe is easy using the included Level 1 charging cable at home for a full charge in 12 hours, or you can opt to have a Level 2 charging station installed and use the available Level 2 charger for a full recharge in about 2.5 hours. Once charged, you can choose one of three operation modes. The default is the hybrid mode, which uses both gas and electric power or you can opt for electric only or gas only. The choice is yours, depending on what your travels look like.
