Jeep Wrangler 4xe

Now you get all the legendary capability of a Jeep with the plug-in electric power of a turbocharged hybrid engine. The Wrangler 4xe features a plug-in hybrid 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with dual overhead cams and direct injection technology. The result is an impressive 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. 

Jeep estimates the 4xe will get 50 mpge and a total system driving range of up to 400 miles. This new powertrain performs on the road going from 0 to 60 mph in six seconds. When you’re driving off-road, your Wrangler 4xe can deliver instant access to the electric torque to go over or through just about anything. 

Jeep’s E-Selec driving modes give you the option to go all-electric with Electric Mode for a quieter ride while still getting maximum torque. E-Save Mode allows you to reserve your battery power for later use. Hybrid Mode gives you a blend of both. Jeep has partnered with Amazon for home charging station installation, making it easier than ever to make the switch to a plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe.

Jeep Rubicon 392

Introducing the quickest, most powerful Jeep Wrangler ever, the Jeep Rubicon 392. Jeep uses a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine on this model to deliver an outstanding 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. It’s an off-road monster that can tear up the track too, going from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.

The Jeep Rubicon 392 is Trail-Rated, which means it has passed a series of rugged off-road tests. An electronic sway-bar disconnect feature allows for unequaled suspension articulation. Fox aluminum-bodied 2-inch shocks provide dampening for a smoother ride on and off the road. Off-road Beadlock-capable 17-inch wheels with 33-inch mud-terrain tires deliver superior control by holding the tires to the rim under extreme lateral loads. That means you can operate at a lower tire pressure for added traction.

A Hydro-Guide Air Induction System improves performance by allowing cool air in to lower the engine temperature and keep water from entering the intake when driving in wet conditions. Now you can control your exhaust with a push-button dual-mode exhaust system for a quieter output when needed. The Rubicon 392 also offers available half doors, letting you experience the outdoors while staying protected from sand, mud, and rocks.

Comfortable, bolstered leather seats with bronze stitching keep you supported no matter how rough the road or trail gets. Steering wheel mounted paddle shifters let you keep your hands on the wheel while shifting for more control. The 8.4-inch touch screen with Jeep’s Uconnect 4C NAV handles all your infotainment. Jeep’s Trail Cam even sends pictures of the trail ahead to your touch screen to help you navigate difficult terrain.

Exterior Style

The Wrangler’s iconic style is updated for a modern performance that remains unmistakably Jeep. Pop the top off of your Wrangler easily with the standard Sunrider soft top. Other soft tops are available in different colors and even come in zipperless options. A removable Freedom Top hardtop is available as well. Alternatively, the available Sky One-Touch Power Top lets you open up with the push of a button. Jeep’s signature fold-down windshield and removable doors truly let you experience the open air. 

Jeep’s round headlight design remains, as does the LED lighting system for increased visibility. Over 10 wheel options ranging in sizes from 17 to 20 inches give you stylish choices for any driving conditions. Plus, every Wrangler’s cabin is water-sealed to keep your interior protected from the elements. Your new Jeep will be able to ford water up to 30 inches deep. 

Interior Comfort and Convenience

Jeep knows you’ll be making a mess on your adventure, so they’ve designed the interior for easy cleanup. Removable weather-resistant carpeting reveals one-way drain valves to make rinsing out the mud simple. An available Trail Rail cargo management system helps you stow your gear in the rear. Smaller cargo can be organized with the Jeep Utility Grid system. The removable cargo floor lets you hide your valuables, or you can lock them up in the glove box or center console. 

A dual-zone climate control system keeps everyone in their perfect comfort zone, while available heated seats and heated steering wheel help take the chill out of the wintry air. Available heated outside mirrors improve your visibility when the conditions freeze up. 

The Sport, Sport S, Willys, and Willys Sport trims let you choose between premium Soulmate cloth seating in Black or Black and Heritage Tan. Jeep’s 80th Anniversary Edition comes with Strata Embossed cloth with Tungsten accent stitching. The Freedom trim comes standard with McKinley leather in black. Soulmate cloth in Black with Surf Blue accent stitching is standard on the Islander trim. 

McKinley leather in Black or Dark Saddle tan is available on the Sahara models. Black and Steel Gray Nappa leather is standard on the High Altitude trim. The Rubicon features Maddox embossed cloth seats as a standard feature, or you can upgrade to McKinley leather in Black with red accent stitching or McKinley leather in Black and Dark Saddle tan with an embroidered logo and light Tungsten accent stitching.
