Jeep has long been associated with adventure and tough off-road performance. However, Jeep is changing in response to rising environmental concerns and a trend toward greener mobility. Presenting the Jeep 4xe plug-in hybrid, a progressive combination of contemporary electric economy and vintage Jeep muscle.
The operation of Jeep’s 4xe hybrid technology, its advantages, and the reasons it’s a wise option for drivers looking to be environmentally conscious without compromising performance will all be covered in this article.
The Jeep brand’s plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) series is represented by the “4xe” logo, which is pronounced “four-by-e.” These versions combine an electric motor, a rechargeable battery pack, and a conventional internal combustion engine.
Turbocharged Gas Engine: Typically a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4.
Dual Electric Motors: One assists the engine; the other powers the wheels during electric-only driving.
17 kWh Battery Pack: Offers all-electric driving for short commutes.
Regenerative Braking: Converts kinetic energy into electricity to recharge the battery.
The outcome? Instant torque, quiet operation, and increased fuel efficiency are all provided while maintaining Jeep’s renowned 4×4 characteristics.
Jeep 4xe models operate in three distinct modes:
Runs solely on battery power.
Offers up to 21–25 miles of zero-emission driving—ideal for city commuting or short errands.
Combines gas and electric power for optimized performance and efficiency.
The vehicle switches automatically between power sources based on driving conditions.
Prioritizes gasoline use to conserve battery power for later.
Useful when you want to save electric power for off-road use or low-speed zones.
With Selec-Terrain® traction control and available Trail Rated® 4×4 capability, Jeep 4xe vehicles can tackle rugged terrain while reducing your carbon footprint.
Compared to conventional gasoline SUVs, 4xes are a more environmentally friendly choice because they emit no tailpipe emissions when driving in electric mode.
Depending on the model and driving style, Jeep 4xe vehicles can reach an MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) rating of up to 49.
In addition to municipal incentives and access to HOV lanes in certain jurisdictions, buyers may be eligible for federal tax credits of up to $7,500.
Quiet operation is made possible by the electric mode, which is not only better for the environment but also perfect for enjoying nature in peace.
As of 2025, the 4xe plug-in hybrid technology is available in:
Jeep Wrangler 4xe
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
(More models may follow as Jeep expands its electrification strategy.)
Charging your Jeep 4xe is easy:
Level 1 (120V): Charges overnight with a standard household outlet.
Level 2 (240V): Charges in about 2 hours using a home or public Level 2 charger.
With more public charging stations appearing nationwide, it’s never been easier to drive electric.
Jeep’s 4xe plug-in hybrid technology is evidence that sustainability and capability don’t have to be mutually exclusive. The 4xe models provide a more efficient, cleaner, and quieter way to travel, whether you’re off-road or negotiating city streets.
