2024 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 4XE - 23 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe receives a subtle facelift, with the most significant exterior change being a slightly shorter and darker grille, designed to accommodate an optional factory WARN winch. Inside, the major upgrade is a standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 4xe, Jeep's best-selling PHEV, offers a combined 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-60 mph in about 6 seconds, though the reviewer notes the engine sounds 'terrible.' EV range is just over 20 miles, with hybrid mode yielding around 20 MPG. Towing capacity is reduced to 3,500 lbs due to the vehicle's weight. The Rubicon X package, priced at $8,500, adds features like steel bumpers and disconnecting sway bars, but the 35-inch Extreme Recon tire package is unavailable with the 4xe. While NVH improvements are noted, the reviewer states it remains 'super loud' on the highway. The lack of a fully digital cluster is criticized, with Jeep citing a desire not to 'overwhelm' customers. Despite these points, the reviewer highlights the new off-road apps, including GPS trail logs, and the optional full-length fabric roof. The as-tested price reaches $77,000.
