POWER BOX = GAME CHANGER // 2024 JEEP WRANGLER 4XE REVIEW AND BUYING GUIDE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, specifically the Rubicon X trim, is presented as a highly versatile and capable plug-in hybrid SUV. The reviewer highlights its impressive off-road prowess, enhanced by features like the optional factory-installed Warn winch and a new Dana 44 HD full float rear axle. A standout feature is the "Power Box," offering 30 amps of 120-volt power, capable of running external devices like grills and e-bikes, which the reviewer found to be a significant game-changer for outdoor activities. On-road manners are described as improved for a Jeep, with the new rear end contributing to better driving dynamics. However, the reviewer notes that fuel savings are unlikely to offset the higher purchase price compared to non-hybrid Wranglers, suggesting the appeal lies more in reduced gas station visits and the unique utility of the Power Box. Interior refinements include a new 12.3-inch touchscreen and acoustic glass for a more refined cabin experience, though rear-seat space is noted as cramped. The reviewer recommends the Sport S trim as a more value-oriented option, emphasizing that the Power Box is a key draw but its availability across trims needs further clarification.
