Twist this as you like, 2020 was not Jeep’s year. Try as it might, the FCA brand was unable to steal the spotlight from over the hottest car launch of the year, the Ford Bronco. Yet, it didn’t take things lying down either, so we got the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid and the V8-powered Wrangler Rubicon 392, among others.
The latest powertrain option for Jeep’s famed off-roader is already in production, and the only thing that was still a mystery was the price. That cleared up today as well after Jeep spilled the beans on the numbers.
Like all things cool, the Wrangler 4xe first comes in Launch Edition clothes first, thrown over the Sahara and Rubicon versions. Both are scheduled to start deliveries in the first quarter of 2021.
Without further ado, expect your bank account to have to hold its ground without $47,995 if you’re going for the Sahara, or $51,695 if the Rubicon is your cup of tea. These prices do not include the $7,500 federal tax credit, and the destination fee.
“The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the greenest, most efficient and capable Wrangler we have created yet,” said in a statement Christian Meunier, Global President of Jeep Brand - FCA. “We are committed to making Jeep the greenest SUV brand, and the new Wrangler 4xe is part of that goal, delivering an efficient, eco-friendly and fun-to-drive experience both on- and off-road.”
The Launch Edition for the 4xe comes with several unique perks that include things like 20-inch wheels, LED Lighting Group, and a nine-speaker Alpine audio system with subwoofer and amplifier.
As for the powertrain, the off-roader in 4xe configuration pairs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a motor generator unit integrated into eight-speed automatic transmission, and 17 kWh battery pack.
Performance figures are 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft (636 Nm) of torque, while the electric range allowed by the battery is about 25 miles (40 kilometers).
