Leading automotive industry publication Green Car Journal recently announced that the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid model has been given the Green SUV of the Year award. The publication made the announcement at the 2020 Virtual Greenbuild Conference and Expo.
“The Wrangler 4xe delivers an exciting and environmentally positive way for Jeep fans to enjoy their on- and off-road experiences. Its powerful plug-in hybrid power plant brings welcome performance while enabling up to 25 miles of trail or street driving exclusively on quiet zero-emission battery power,” said Ron Cogan, editor, and publisher of Green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com.
The most advanced Wrangler powertrain
4xe is the official name for Jeep’s global plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technology. The powertrain consists of a high-tech 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that’s complemented by two electric motors, a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, and a high-voltage battery pack.
Considered by automotive experts to be the most advanced powertrain ever developed in the history of the Wrangler, the Wrangler 4xe has an estimated 50 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe). It offers buyers both an electric vehicle lifestyle and unmatched off-road capability. Hybrid is the default mode for the SUV as it blends power from the 2.0-liter engine and electric motors, but there’s a series of E Selec mode buttons that help drivers pick the operating mode best suited for conditions. Electric mode prioritizes all-electric operation until the battery is depleted, while the eSave function saves the battery charge by prioritizing propulsion directly from the engine.
Another Trail Rated Jeep from Cerritos
Like the rest of the Jeep Wrangler lineup, the 4xe is Trail Rated and features a full-time 4×4 two-speed transfer case, up to 30 inches of water fording capability and a fully articulating suspension. Drivers can access all power modes when the Wrangler 4xe’s drivetrain is shifted to 4Lo. This marks the first time a Jeep Wrangler offers buyers this much performance as the integration of an electric powertrain with a 4×4 drivetrain. The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is scheduled to hit dealer lots at the end of 2020.
