EXTREME OFF-ROAD, ELECTRIC STYLE: HERE'S WHAT THE 2024 JEEP WRANGLER 4XE CAN DO IN FULL EV MODE!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is put to the test in an extreme off-road EV range assessment in Moab, Utah. While the plug-in hybrid system offers a unique silent off-roading experience with impressive capability thanks to its locking differentials and sway bar disconnects, its electric-only range proves to be a significant limitation for extended off-road excursions. The reviewers found the electric mode's transmission behavior to be jerky and difficult to modulate on steep inclines, often requiring "two-foot" driving or engaging the gasoline engine. Despite achieving an estimated 7 miles of electric range in challenging off-road conditions (using 50% of the battery), the 4xe excels as a daily driver for commutes under 25 miles, allowing for potentially gas-station-free operation. The reviewer highlights the choice Jeep offers between the 4xe's green approach and the traditional V8 power of the 392, appreciating the retention of core Jeep off-road prowess with the added electric option.
