2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Review

[@ausy1downunder343]

We put on 9000 mile this winter on a rental Jeep Wrangler 4xe from Feb to April 2024. Driving through all of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Taxes, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. Through snow, ice and mud. I had no problems with the driving or the sound. We found it comfortable as we spent up to 9 to 14 hours a day driving through all the parks, cities and Highways. We love the Jeep.

I love the hybrid idea for the Jeep. When you're going over the trails and you want to just suck up nature sounds there's almost no noise coming from the Jeep even when you're pulling a hill. This could be the best of both worlds.

[@daniell8655]

I have a 22’ Rubicon 4XE. I installed a Hot Heads Headliner and it cured the highway noise by several decibels. My lease is up May of 25’. I hope the 2025 model will get that rumored upgraded battery!

[@jasonrichard6286]

I love my 2024 Rubicon X 4xe! It’s perfect for our driving habits.

Purchased a 2024 wrangler willys 4xe. LOOOVE IT 😊

[@PaulsImageVault]

I just traded in my 2018 Jeep Rubicon for the 2024 Sahara 4xe. What an amazing ride.

[@TLrevival]

I drive my Gladiator over 100 miles a day on the highway, honestly never thought of it as bad to drive on the road. Like any vehicle once you get used to it there's no issue. I'm usually listening to the radio so noise isn't an issue. Even though it's a soft top I can still easily hold a conversation and no complaints about the hands free phone mics from callers on the other end.

I'm not sure the added weight and complexity is not worth saving one gallon of gas a day. On top of that now our new Wrangler is locked out of electric AND HYBRID mode because its not available at this time. I've read some jeeps get locked in FORM but ours didn't. We have owned the Jeep for two weeks and charge almost every night. WE drive three miles to work and then 3 miles home in electric. At the end of that we have 38 percent battery left. We have done this for two weeks in 30 degree average temps while always in hybrid mode. WE have also done some errands at night before we charge and have 240 miles on the Wrangler. In that time we used about 1/5 of a tank of gas and the engine has been on in many situations. Now after two weeks all electric assist is turned off and not available and I mean all. The engine doesn't even shut off on decel or standing still. I can understand a system that prevent dry engine and months old gas from happening. But my gas is fresh and the engine has been on many times over the past two weeks. My insurance on the thing is much more expensive compared to our Durango. I pay 380 a month with 2000 down The down payment was trade equity. It is a cheaper way to lease a jeep and it is a nice vehicle but it is not an efficient electrical vehicle. If I get my next electric bills and it is 40 dollars higher or more Ill never plug this thing again as there will no real money savings. The Form did go off in about 20 miles and I have some suggestions. If you do many short electric trips make sure you push the electric only button. Even in the cold you do not want the Gas engine turning on for short periods without fully warming up. So In my case with a daily 6 mile commute make sure to push electric button and keep the engine from turning on. If the engine turns on and doesn't warm up the unburnt gas can dilute the engine and the Form system turns on the prevent that. Our battery does deplete very fast in the Winter. I hope the Summer brings more electric range.

That's insane for Insurance,that's almost doubke what I pay for a brand new sierra at4 (85k) and a brand new hinda crv (36k). I'd be searching for a different insurance company,I also have the highest amount of insurance you can get for regular vehicles (like 500k coverage). I'd definitely shop around,no way should this cost you that much unless you been in alotnof accidents.

[@americansoldier7776]

Anyone even thinking about purchasing this vehicle needs to understand this fact. The capacity of the battery of this vehicle is 17.3 kWh. To use Michigan as an example if you charge your vehicle during off peak times you’ll pay .16 per kilowatt hour. if you do the math that will cost you $2.76 to completely charge your battery. You’re going to get 22 miles for $2.76. It’s not even worth it to ever charge at a charger, other than your home. The average cost per Google at a charging station is $.45. That means if you charge your Jeep other than your home you’re going to pay $7.78 to go 22 miles.

My wife has a 4xe. We love it so much that on my days off, I would prefer to drive her jeep more than our F150. I just traded my F150 for a 2024 Gladiator and it’s by far the happiest I’ve been with a vehicle purchase. Even though it’s a mid size truck, it feels like a Truck. It’s so much easier to maneuver around. I can park so easily now and not have to back and forth so much like I did with my F150. Turn radius is soooo much better. I’ve always been a Ford fan but I just love jeep so much more. I didn’t have a need for such a big truck either. I had a 2022 V8 and the cylinder deactivation was a turnoff. After several recalls especially an electric issue I was having that they could not fix, I decided it was time to trade. Oh by the way, the constant attention I get from other drivers is insane. Not once in 3 years did anyone compliment my F150 even after I had a beautiful exhaust on it, lol. Oh well. One last thing… my only concern with my wife’s 4xe is that it takes 2 months to refuel, lol. I don’t want fuel going bad so we never fill over 3 quarters. She does mostly local driving which is perfect utilization for the 4xe. Occasionally I’ll take it on the highway and run the engine to keep things lubed up.

[@cherblount7618]

Great video! Just got mine yesterday after 6 years w a Grand Cherokee. I love my new car and it's definitely worth the price. I was charging today in public and so many people came up to me to ask questions and take pictures. Great car so far.

[@davidstockdale4187]

I own a 2022 gladiator ecodiesel and I absolutely love it. Stellantis made and error in pushing it out the door.

[@monkabuda]

Thank you for a great video and review. I just test drove 3 different 4xe 2024 models. High Altitude (The same exact set-up as the one in the video), Sahara and a Sport S. I love all of the features in the High Altitude but absolutely love the ride of the Sahara...because of the 18" tires. I had both up to 85MPH on the highway and there was definitely a difference. I now deciding what I value more...all of the features of the High Altitude or the smoother ride of the Sahara. I am trying to locate a Sahara with the one touch roof and leather. Not sure if I will be successful. Wish me lucK!

[@frenchcurse7287]

i live my Sahara 2024 4xe and yeah i also have the sky one touch i enjoy so much.

[@77Zona77]

what's the EMF like inside the car? Will it kill you like the Teslas do?

[@Boris_Chang]

If electric motors provide more torque, faster acceleration, quieter/cleaner ride: what is the plus for having an ICE engine?

[@babeyelel]

Loki?

[@cratervanawesome]

None of those engine options are 4XE options. The way its described here is a bit misleading.

[@elgastsos210]

Isnt there a recall, Jeep says don't charge it or keep it in a garage for fear of fire 🔥. WTF?

[@frankhuber9912]

All things being equal, lower sidewalls will yield more precise steering and a stiffer ride.

[@benbwaite9858]

Hope the 4xe comes to Australia next year

[@jamesray5974]

the hard top is much different than a soft top. Really no noise

[@Axsel85]

“Retains value” unfortunately no longer applies to Wranglers, especially the 4xe

[@laughingbird]

why isn't easy to drive on the highway

[@Mojodojocasahouse-qn9ft]

Great review! You understand the Jeep!

[@Classified-70]

I think a hybrid diesel as for the standard beside a gasoline engine, should replace the all electric idea jeep has. With the diesel in the past having very impressive range and mpgs and the same thing with the hybrid v6. A whole diesel hybrid together could being the electric and diesel acceleration, and all that torque that would come with both would make it into the towing competitive markets. And how slow diesels burn and how long the fuel lasts and bind that with the hybrid electric. You could be using very such little fuel it could may well last over a week as a daily driver. But they need to opt with a better diesel this time such as the cummins they use in the rams and etc and not a imported Italian diesel with faults. Jeep has to take on this idea and like now, i think people would go crazy, they would love this, they can go anywhere, itll be very dominant in the automobile market, and jeep is an American icon. Jeep won world war 2 against the nazis and the Japanese, the communists in the whole of the cold war until the late 80s. If this is possible and can be done, lets have debates on this topic, and others people's idea. And maybe it be such a big topic and a request, that jeep themselves can look into the idea and bring it to life. And no of that DEF bull they're making eveyone get

Foam insulation is a rust magnet. More foam = more moisture = more rust 😮

[@justinellis92]

Great review! Thank you!

[@mattjek828]

I had this as a rental car for a week. I got the same gas mileage as my 2016 F150… I found that very underwhelming.

[@timbrassinne719]

Same here. Except I have a vw Tiguan that's get minimum 28mpg. Definitely not impressed with the jeep, considering the lowest trim it's the same price as my tiguan in highest trim, it has less room, doesn't drive nearly as nice or sporty. The only thing it has over my tiguan is more off road capabilities.

[@marki61422]

@@timbrassinne719 Can you take the roof and the doors off on your Tiguan?

[@RRbookie]

Does anyone notice how much louder it is when you run out of battery power? I still love mine, but I can't lie; that scared me my 1st week of owning it.

[@shirokuro_jeep]

[@UtmostChingon]

The previous square head unit kinda gave it a rugged look that complemented it. Looks like an off-road suv trying to be a luxury suv like a Beamer or something

[@salookie8000]

The wheels are too narrow . More stable with wider tires

Man, this is tempting because Jeep is offering 0% APR for 72 months currently 😅😅😅

I love it!

[@HDMI4YAMAHA]

Let me know when at lest 90 milles

[@Keep-on-ok]

We love our 2024 Jeep Rubicon 4xe. It’s perfect for us. Update! It’s 110 degrees F here in the AZ desert. This hybrid does not compare with our 2021 Dodge Ram that we traded in just the end of Feb. 2024. It just doesn’t cool you down in this heat! This is a lease so we will keep it until the lease ends but I do not like it as well as the Dodge Ram.

Why don't you talk about (1) the fire hazard and (2) the fake hybrid BS that never charge from the gas to the battery?

[@Goldton5]

21 miles of electric is unacceptable, Jeep can do much better than that.

[@Just0ke]

21miles of range for that price tag is worthless! Plus its a Chrysler, there horrible vehicles! Known for electrical issues... and it being a hybird... yall deserve whats comming to you.

@@hi9580 Yep, Stillantis owns FIAT, Alpha Romeo, and other POS automakers. The Jeep Renegade is a Fiat 500X with a different body. The Dodge Hornet is a rebadged Alpha Romeo. The list goes on. If I were the GM of Stillantis I’d be ashamed of the horrible quality that’s produced under that company.

WTF are you doing with your hands on the wheel. It’s completely distracting and looks like you can’t wait to get to High Tea. Just grip the wheel and stay safe.

[@Liam-ql7tr]

$$$ to much range suchs

[@vjmtz]

That intro is total trolling right? No way this thing is the #1 PHEV... its a Jeep...its already overpriced hot garbage by a company that can't make 1 good car to be reliable. it has worse mileage than a NA engine let alone any hybrid car on the market. I'm sure it drives well and all in the first 30k miles, but this car Jeep is absolutely pointless to own as it doesn't even save you with its poor range and we all know how reliable it isn't. Sorry but there's a lot of reasons why Jeep is dying as a brand, and this is a showcase to start with those reasons.

[@jRieg]

ELECTRIC = JUNK

[@stefanpuffer]

Over priced garbage.
