Design

  • ‘Electric Blue’ design cues distinguish the new Wrangler 4xe

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe maintains the iconic, sculptural design aesthetic of the version with internal combustion engine, with its unmistakable functional elements such as the trapezoidal wheel arches, the iconic seven-slot grille and round headlights. The 4xe version features the new electric blue colouring on the ‘Jeep’, ‘4xe’, ‘Trail Rated’ and ‘Wrangler Unlimited’ badges, while the Rubicon trim level sports additional aesthetic cues, with the unique blue colouring tracing the Rubicon name on the bonnet, rear tow hook (available after launch) and black bonnet decal with 4xe logo. The exterior of the new Wrangler 4xe is further enhanced by the range of alloy wheels dedicated to the 4xe versions.

The electric charge port features a push-open/push-close cover and is located on the left front cowl of the Wrangler 4xe for easy and convenient nose-in parking at charging locations. The charge port includes an LED indicator to show charging status.

Exclusive content makes the 4xe version the most high-tech Wrangler ever. All versions feature a new TFT instrument panel with 7-inch colour screen and the Uconnect 8.4-inch NAV touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, plus specific Hybrid Pages for the monitoring of electrified driving. An LED battery level monitor is mounted on top of the instrument panel, making it easy to check the state of the battery charge at a glance, while the E-Selec buttons for the three electrified driving modes are housed to the left of the steering wheel. The Wrangler 4xe Rubicon also includes unique electric blue stitching on the seats and trims.

Engineering

  • Layout and operation of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe advanced powertrain
  • The battery pack preserves boot capacity

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe advanced powertrain combines two electric motor generators and a 400-volt battery pack with an efficient turbocharged, four-cylinder engine and TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. This architecture optimises the efficiency of the hybrid propulsion components and pairs them with the proven driveline of the Wrangler, enabling the Jeep icon to deliver a maximum combined power output of 380hp (280 kW) and 637Nm of torque. The architecture includes:

  • The turbocharged 4-cylinder, 2.0-litre I-4 petrol internal combustion engine
  • A first motor generator connected to the internal combustion engine. As well as working in synergy with the engine, it can also act as a high-voltage generator if required
  • A second motor generator mounted on the transmission case, and built into the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission (ZF 8P75PH), which generates the traction and recovers energy when braking
  • A 96-cell/17 kWh/400 volt lithium-ion (nickel-manganese-cobalt) battery pack

The 2.0-litre I-4 turbocharged engine is part of the Stellantis Global Medium Engine family. This high-tech, direct-injection petrol engine uses a Twin Scroll, low-inertia turbocharger mounted directly to the cylinder head, along with a dedicated cooling circuit for the turbocharger, intake air and throttle body. A combination of technologies that improves responsiveness, and ensures performance and fuel efficiency.

The first high-voltage, liquid-cooled motor-generator is mounted at the front of the engine, replacing the conventional alternator. A robust belt connects the motor generator to the engine crankshaft pulley. As well as providing additional torque to power the combustion engine, it manages the start-stop system, while generating the electricity for the battery pack. The Wrangler 4xe does not use a conventional 12-volt starter motor but is fitted with a 12-volt battery to power the accessories.

The second high-voltage motor generator is mounted at the front of the transmission case, replacing the conventional torque converter of an automatic gearbox. It is therefore built into the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.

Two clutches work to manage power and torque from the e-motor and engine. The first clutch is mounted between the two units. When this clutch is open, the Wrangler 4xe can travel in full-electric mode, as there is no mechanical linkage between the engine and the e-motor.

When this clutch is closed, torque from the 2.0-litre internal combustion engine and the e-motor flow combine through the automatic transmission. A second variable clutch is mounted behind the e-motor and manages the interaction with the transmission, to improve drivability and efficiency. This architecture has the double objective of highlighting the advantages of electrification and maintaining the capability and unique off-road prowess of the iconic Wrangler.

The internal combustion engine and the two motor-generators are installed upstream of the sophisticated mechanical 4×4 systems on the Wrangler. Owners will therefore see no difference in the user-friendly and intuitive interface, and will appreciate the significant improvements in performance, with acceleration from zero to 62mph in 6.4 seconds against an almost 70 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions versus the petrol version in the WLTP cycle.

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe features a 96-cell/17 kWh/400 volt lithium-ion battery pack that uses nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC)/graphite chemistry. It is mounted underneath the second row of seats, where it is protected from outside elements. This required a redesign of the second-row seats, allowing the bottom cushion to flip forward for easy access to the battery. This layout also meant that the boot capacity of 533 litres, with seats in the upright position, is the same as in the combustion engine version

Encased in aluminum housing, the pack is fitted with a dedicated heating and cooling circuit to keep the battery at its optimum temperature for best performance.

The Wrangler 4xe uses a hybrid system that includes an Integrated Dual Charging Module (IDCM), combining a battery charging system and a DC/DC converter into a single unit, which is more compact than the two separate components. The hybrid system also includes a next-generation Power Inverter Module (PIM), that is reduced in size, housed and protected from damage inside the battery pack.

All high-voltage electronic components and systems, including the wiring between the battery pack and e-motors, are sealed and waterproofed. Just like all Trail Rated Jeep Wrangler models, the 4xe variant is capable of water fording up to 76cm.

Electric driving modes

  • Wrangler 4xe ‘E-Selec’ ensures drivers can tailor the driving experience
  • Regenerative braking is a key part of the Wrangler 4xe equation

Drivers of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe can tailor the hybrid powertrain and driving experience to best suit each trip and its requirements: no matter whether it is a daily commute in pure-electric, an evening driving downtown or a quiet exploration of nature on an off-road adventure.

The Wrangler 4xe hybrid powertrain has three modes of operation, known as E-Selec. The driver can select the desired powertrain mode via buttons mounted on the dashboard, to the left of the steering wheel.

  • Hybrid: The default mode that blends torque from the 2.0-litre engine and electric motors. In this mode the powertrain will use battery power first, then when the battery reaches its minimum state of charge, or the driver requests more torque, it will use the propulsion from the 2.0-litre turbocharged I-4
  • Electric: The engine operates on zero-emission electric power until the battery reaches the minimum charge level, or the driver requests maximum torque (such as wide-open throttle), which engages the 2.0-litre engine. If the battery level is at its lowest, the system automatically switches back to Hybrid mode.
  • E-Save: This mode prioritises propulsion from the 2.0-litre petrol engine, saving the battery charge for later use, such as all-electric off-road driving or for when entering urban areas. The driver can choose between two modes, known as Battery Save and Battery Charge during E-Save, both of which can be activated from the Uconnect screen:
    • Battery Save: maintains battery charge level for later use and predominantly uses the internal combustion engine
    • Battery Charge: charges the battery up to 80% using the internal combustion engine, acted on by the combined electric generator

To help optimise the benefit of the E-Selec modes, the Wrangler 4xe Uconnect touchscreen features Hybrid Pages. The Hybrid Pages let owners monitor power flow and check the impact of regenerative braking, schedule charging times to take advantage of lower electric rates, and view their driving history with a detail of electric and petrol usage.

Regenerative braking
Regenerative braking is a key part of the sustainable mobility offered by the new Wrangler 4xe, and allows for recovering of the kinetic energy during all deceleration or braking phases. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the powertrain control engages the maximum available regenerative braking produced by the e-motor (up to 0.25 G) to slow down the vehicle, to assist the conventional braking system.

With 4×4 engaged, all four wheels feed torque for regenerative braking, maximising the energy recovery. The electricity due to regenerative braking is accumulated in the battery pack to maintain or increase the state of charge.

The Wrangler 4xe also features the ability to maximise regenerative energy production via a driver-selectable Max Regen feature.

When Max Regen is engaged via the button on the center console (a blue LED light shows it is on), a more assertive regenerative braking calibration occurs when the vehicle sees zero throttle input from the driver (coasting). Max Regen can slow the Wrangler 4xe faster than standard regenerative braking and generate more electricity for the battery pack.

Off-road capability
The heritage of the Jeep Wrangler has always been defined by its legendary off-road capability. All Jeep Wrangler 4xe models are equipped with sophisticated full-time active on-demand 4×4 systems: Selec-Trac on the Sahara 4xe and 80th Anniversary 4xe trims, and Rock-Trac on the Rubicon 4xe, the most capable version for off-road driving. Both operate in four driving modes (plus Neutral mode):

  • 2H (Two-Wheel Drive High Range)
  • 4H AUTO (Full-Time Active On-Demand Four-wheel drive High range)
  • 4H Part-Time (Part-Time Four-wheel drive High range)
  • 4L (four-wheel drive low-range)

When the drivetrain is shifted to four-wheel drive low-range (4L), all Wrangler 4xe power modes are available – Hybrid, Electric and E-Save. The seamless integration of electric power into the 4×4 drivetrain elevates the Wrangler 4xe to new levels of off-road performance.

Off-road enthusiasts will find that the instant availability of torque from the electric motor in the Wrangler 4xe delivers a more precise and controlled driving experience for climbing and crawling – there’s no need to build up engine rpm to get the tyres to move, minimising driveline shock loading and maximising control and speed.

All this while maintaining the car’s unmatched ‘Trail Rated’ technical features, which, depending on the trim, include two advanced full-time active on-demand 4×4 systems – Selec-Trac or Rock Trac, next-generation Dana axles, Tru-Lock electric front and rear-axle lockers, Trac-Lok limited slip differential and electronic front sway-bar disconnect.

In full electric mode, the Wrangler 4xe uses four-wheel-drive to deliver benchmark off-road performance and safety and allows occupants the pleasure of hearing the full sounds of nature.

Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe is fitted with Selec-Trac full-time active on-demand four-wheel drive system, with a two-speed transfer case, with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio, and Dana 44 front and rear axles.

A Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential – standard on the Sahara trim – also provides extra grip and capability during slippery, low-traction situations, such as driving on wet tarmac with rain, ice or snow, or over trails with sand and gravel.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe Rubicon models carry the Rock-Trac full-time four-wheel drive system that includes a two-speed transfer case with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, front and rear next-generation Dana 44 axles, and Tru-Lok electric front and rear-axle lockers for extreme off-road driving. The Wrangler Rubicon 4xe has a crawl ratio of 77.2:1, which makes scaling any obstacle easy. 

The Rubicon trim also offers improved articulation and total suspension travel thanks to its front axle, electronic sway-bar disconnect. This system makes it possible to disconnect the front sway bar to increase suspension travel and better tackle particularly challenging obstacles. Together, these components contribute to deliver the off-road prowess Wrangler Rubicon is known for, now made even more unsurpassable by the 4xe system.

The Wrangler 4xe includes Selec-Speed Control with Hill Ascent and Hill Descent Control. This allows drivers to control pre-set vehicle speed up and down steep, rugged grades with the transmission shift lever when driving off-road.

Like every Jeep Wrangler, the 4xe models wear the ‘Trail Rated’ badge, attesting to its legendary 4×4 capability. Trail Rated performance is the result of a series of heavy tests performed in the following areas: traction, water fording manoeuvrability, articulation and ground clearance.

The new Trail Rated capability of the Wrangler 4xe is guaranteed by equipment that includes:

  • Selec-Trac 4×4 system with “4LO” mode, a 2.72:1 crawl ratio (standard on Sahara 4xe);Rock-Trac 4×4 system with “4LO” mode, a 4:1 low-range gear ratio and Tru-Lok electric lockers (standard on the Rubicon 4xe)
  • Skid plates and rear tow hook
  • Benchmark angles in its class: on the Rubicon 4xe, approach angle of 36.6 degrees, breakover angle of 21.4 degrees, departure angle of 31.8 degrees, and ground clearance of 25.3cm
  • 17-inch off-road wheels with 32-inch Mud Terrain tyres (Rubicon 4xe) and 18-inch wheels with All Season tyres (Sahara 4xe and 80th Anniversary 4xe trims)
  • Water fording up to 76cm
