As the car industry continues its evolution toward a more sustainable future, EVs have become more prevalent than ever. However, you don't need to go fully electric to enjoy battery-powered benefits. With a Jeep® 4xe plug-in hybrid vehicle from Ciocca Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Flemington, Trenton-area drivers can access renowned Jeep® capability and versatility with upgraded efficiency and electric-only capability.
What is Jeep® 4xe?
The Jeep® 4xe powertrain is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) that, like regular hybrids, uses an electric motor to assist a gas-powered engine, resulting in improved fuel economy, lower emissions, and more responsive acceleration. However, since PHEVs have more powerful motors and larger batteries than standard hybrid vehicles, they require external charging for optimal performance and efficiency. A notable advantage of driving a plug-in hybrid is the ability to operate on just electricity. Plus, since PHEVs can function normally on gasoline alone, they're a great way to experience EV driving without range anxiety.
Jeep® 4xe Performance and Charging
The Jeep 4xe powertrain comprises a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that combine to produce 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. A quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission helps optimize responsiveness and efficiency, while standard four-wheel drive ensures confident handling and control.
Jeep 4xe models use a 17.3-kWh battery, which can be charged in about three hours with Level 2 (240-volt, 7.2-kW) equipment. However, you don't necessarily need to install a dedicated charging setup, as Jeep 4xe models can replenish their battery overnight (11 – 12 hours) when plugged into a standard 120-volt household-style wall outlet.

Jeep® Wrangler 4xe
Evoking the automaker's Zero Emission Freedom initiative, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe delivers the same trail-tackling tenacity one expects from the iconic nameplate but with greater efficiency and near-instant torque generation. It achieves an EPA-rated 49 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent) and can travel an estimated 21 miles on just electricity.1
Offered exclusively as a four-door "Ultimate" model, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe has ample passenger room and cargo capacity (27.7 – 67.4 cubic feet), plus standard features like heavy-duty Dana® 44 axles, protective skid plates, a 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen, Full-Speed Forward-Collision Warning Plus, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
A few specialty trims significantly bolster the Wrangler 4xe's off-road capability. Willys 4xe models get 33-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, off-road-suspension tuning, an electronic-locking rear differential, and more. The Rubicon 4xe trim goes even further with a Rock-Trac® 4WD system, a disconnecting sway bar, and Tru-Lock® front and full-float rear axles.
Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe
The fifth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is a compellingly well-rounded midsize SUV, offering refined and roomy accommodations, abundant practicality, and ruggedly handsome good looks. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe has the same plug-in hybrid powertrain as the Wrangler 4xe, achieving an EPA-estimated 56 MPGe and 25 miles of electric-only range.1 It's also the only way to get the off-road-ready Trailhawk® trim, which adds all-terrain tires, a disconnecting stabilizer bar, air suspension, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, and more.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is generously equipped across the lineup. Even the base model includes amenities like proximity entry, a power liftgate, heated front and rear seats, and driver memory. You'll also enjoy standard technologies like a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a fully digital instrument cluster, Alpine® premium audio, and a comprehensive roster of advanced driver aids.
