Can the Hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe Go Off Roading
Answered by the East Carolina Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
Jeep launched the 2021 Wrangler 4xe this year, and it has some critics have their doubts. This is why the East Carolina Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram team thought we would hash out its capability. The name is pronounced "four-by-e," like "four-by-four," mixing the electric side with the off-road side. The Wrangler 4xe offers the legendary capability and open-air freedom the Jeep Brand is known for. Let's take a closer look at the Wrangler 4xe inside and out.
How much horsepower does the 2021 Wrangler 4xe have?
The Wrangler 4xe comes with a 2.0L I4 DOHC direct-injection Turbo PHEV engine. It will climb over tricky obstacles and do an electrifying 0-60 mph in 6 seconds. A plug-in hybrid turbocharged engine gives the Wrangler 4xe an impressive 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of instant torque for heart-pounding performance off-road and on-road. The Wrangler 4xe's powertrain is more powerful than its gas counterpart. With two electric motors, one electric motor mounted at the front of the 4xe's turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and another mounted at the front of its eight-speed automatic transmission.
Can the Wrangler 4xe go through streams?
If your thought was that water and electricity don't typically go together, you are not allowed. Jeep has given the 4xe impressive amounts of power and torque to each wheel, and they know that drivers would be taking this Wrangler through uncharted territory. So they sealed and waterproofed the battery pack and electronics. The jeep made the 4xe perform in challenging conditions like fording creeks and streams up to 30 inches in depth by sealing all the critical components.
What kind of axles did Jeep put in the 4xe?
Every 4xe comes with a front and rear Dana 44 axles, a two-speed transfer case that enables full-time four-wheel drive, 10.8 inches of ground clearance, and the ability to ford up to 30 inches of water. All of which provide more off-road skills than most gas-powered vehicles.
Does the 4xe have regenerative braking?
Jeep was forward-thinking when they designed the Wrangler 4xe. Not only did they give it regenerative braking technology. Jeep made the four-wheel-drive system able to recover and help recharge the battery. The 4xe even offers one-pedal driving when the driver selects the Max Regen function, but it must be turned off manually.
