Jeep Wrangler versus the Jeep Wrangler 4xe: Which Works Best for Your Adventures in Bath?

The Jeep Wrangler is Jeep's signature off-road SUV, and at Simmons Rockwell near Hornell, drivers can test drive each today. The Jeep Wrangler is ready to go anywhere with diverse options, and the Jeep Wrangler 4xe takes things to the next level with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Learn more below.

Performance

The Jeep Wrangler comes with three engine options for Penn Yan drivers to choose from:

  • 3.6 liter V6 engine making 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque with six-speed manual transmission or optional eight-speed automatic transmission
  • Turbocharged two-liter four-cylinder engine producing 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque with automatic transmission
  • 6.4-liter V8 engine producing 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque with automatic transmission

These engines are paired up with four-wheel-drive, so you can adventure off-road in Watkins Glen if you so desire. Additional equipment includes all-terrain tires, an electronic locking rear differential, and more. Upper trim levels include even more off-road equipment like fender extensions, lifted suspension, and more.

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe comes with a single plug-in hybrid powertrain option. This system can provide 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. Many of the same off-road amenities as the Jeep Wrangler: all-terrain tires and an electronic locking rear differential. Upper trim levels like the Rubicon take off-road performance to the next level with an electronic disconnecting front stabilizer bar, rock rails, an electronic locking front and rear differentials, and more. You can't go wrong with either SUV for off-road performance, but the Jeep Wrangler does provide more engine options for more power.

Towing and Fuel Economy

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe takes advantage of hybrid power, granting Bath drivers the ability to tow 3,500 pounds. The standard Jeep Wrangler can tow a minimum of 2,000 pounds and a maximum of 3,500 pounds as well. In terms of fuel economy, the Jeep Wrangler provides drivers with 20 miles per gallon combined. The exciting Jeep Wrangler 4xe grants drivers 22 miles of all-electric driving range. If you have errands to run in Watkins Glen, you do not have to engage the gas tank until the battery has run out of range. If you are interested in what an electric vehicle feels like to drive, you can experience it with a Jeep Wrangler 4xe.

Interior and Technology

It's easy to get comfortable in the Jeep Wrangler if your daily driving includes Painted. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, connecting to a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The same setup can be found in the plug-in hybrid version of the Jeep Wrangler. Upper trim levels like the High Altitude provide luxury amenities like full leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, and an Alpine premium audio system. This setup is also found in the Jeep Wrangler 4xe.

The Bottom Line

While the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Wrangler 4xe are similar in their interior design, under the hood, very different performance capabilities can be found. Simply put, the Jeep Wrangler has more engine options than the hybrid counterpart. If you are looking for that kind of versatility, the Jeep Wrangler may be the better choice. However, if you are interested in an SUV that offers hybrid capability and gives you a feel for the electric vehicle lifestyle, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the better move for you.
