2023 JEEP WRANGLER 4XE HIGH ALTITUDE – SAY HELLO TO OUR NEW RIDE – REDLINE: VLOG

EV Channels Review

The host introduces their new 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe High Altitude, replacing their Mustang Mach-E. The High Altitude trim is highlighted as the most luxurious Wrangler yet, featuring a body-colored exterior, painted bumpers, grille, and fenders, along with unique interior touches like copper stitching and higher-quality leather. The reviewer praises the vehicle's distinctive look, especially in the bright white exterior, and notes its comparable price to their previous EV. Key features discussed include the 17.3 kWh battery offering around 22-24 miles of electric range (EPA rated 22 miles), a combined output of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds in hybrid mode. Positives include the premium interior, the option for open-air motoring with the Sky Power soft top, and the continued eligibility for the $7,500 federal tax credit, making it a compelling value proposition. Minor criticisms include the older Uconnect 4 system lacking wireless CarPlay, the placement of USB ports, and the engine's noise when it engages. The reviewer emphasizes that while it's not the quickest Wrangler, its blend of plug-in hybrid efficiency and off-road capability makes it a unique and practical choice for their needs.
