2021 JEEP WRANGLER 4XE RUBICON PHEV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The EV Revolution Show reviews the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Rubicon, a plug-in hybrid variant of the iconic off-roader. The reviewer acknowledges Jeep's entry into electrification as a positive step, highlighting the vehicle's legendary capability, seamless power mode switching, and quiet off-road experience thanks to electric torque. However, significant drawbacks are noted, including a relatively small battery pack offering only 35-40 km of electric range, which the reviewer deems insufficient for many daily use cases. The vehicle is also criticized for its considerable road and wind noise, particularly with the soft top, and a high price point for the limited electric range. While praised for its potential to lower emissions and fuel costs for existing Jeep owners within its specific use case, the reviewer ultimately gives it a mixed verdict, leaning towards a "thumbs down" due to the high cost relative to the minimal electric range, suggesting a larger battery and a fully electric offering would be more compelling.
