Hybrid vehicles make much more sense than full electric…

[@YoungBlaze]

Tell me

[@-007-2]

someone can't bring you a can of electricity when you run out. they CAN bring you a can of gas. plus, you aren't waiting 8 hours on your road trip to fill up on a hybrid compared to an electric.

[@n545ca1]

Great video Ben. Just traded in my 2021 4xe (Stingray) for a ‘22 4xe High Altitude. Daily drive allows me to fully utilize electric mode. Averages 26 miles on full charge and I haven’t filled my tank in a couple months.

[@freddy4130]

That’s awesome, bro. In maybe seven years you will have broken even on the gas savings. Nice.

[@freddy4130]

Actually, now. More like eleven years after getting dumped on trading that 2021.

[@n545ca1]

@@freddy4130 ordinarily you’d be spot on. I actually pulled $4 grand in trade equity due to strong resale and tax credit. If those two factors weren’t in play, I would never recoup on any gas savings and EV would make no sense at all.

[@JP-nisu_2]

Yes, that color Jeep goes well with the blue.

[@kenmccune8843]

Jeep keep on putting awesome color love it so much. Hybrid makes hole lot sense love what jeep doing

[@LordBlackNephew]

Thank you Jodie (Jody) this was a detailed review, once again you said 28 per gallon.... wow, that's impressive, wish you would of mentioned the asking price. BX STAND UP!!!

[@aesho46]

Damn that thing is cool

[@joe1071]

Thank you for calling out all the wrangler mall crawlers lol

[@ramirorodriguez5695]

im about to purchase one i was deciding between this vehicle or a mercedez 350 but i wanted a vehicle with more space

[@Davin1969]

The gas engine does not exactly charge the battery, it can add some charge, but you would probably empty a full tank and not get any meaningful charge that's useful. The only way to charge that battery for pure EV driving is by plugging it in

[@curiosityredpill7030]

Would’ve been better if it was a Phev then right?

[@oswal1853]

Dealer has no replacement parts at all 😟 3 weeks already waiting for my jeep .

[@BS-ij5wq]

Ben lookin swole! 😏

[@pimpmyride7278]

Lol @ everyone that used to complain about 20” wheel upgrades. Now they come stock. 😝

[@XVNRX]

Just got one in 2023

[@ellettediaries2541]

I’m curious how this would do on a road trip four to five hours each way?

[@stevhn]

Easy, it’s a hybrid not an full EV vehicle. The gas engine will get you there.

[@alexs3187]

The fit and finish looks better than the Bronco. I just like the size of the Bronco better.

[@thomaskrutulis2289]

Did you drive in 2wd? Not sure if you know but jeep nerfs the 2wd so ppl don’t loop it. Have to put it in 4A and it’s a different animal, waaay faster and fun!! Try it if you haven’t. It’s a big difference Ben. This has been a PSA

[@BenHardyCars]

I was in 2wd

[@DaLonnaHanlin]

Have almost the exact same 4xe and the gas mileage is not what is represented. I have charged mine for very day and know it’s only gonna go 20-23 miles in battery. My average fuel economy is 15.4 and that’s also on the highway. Just saying.

[@Lautarozoloaga]

👍👍

[@rubyphan3379]

i dont understand why u only get 25 miles of the fully charge battery? am i missing something?

[@bxallstar718]

That’s because it’s not a big battery like the ones in Tesla’s. The Tesla’s battery is the entire floor, the Jeeps battery takes up a small section under the rear seat. For what it is 21 miles is still impressive given how small the battery is all while running high power consuming items like heat or ac.

[@curiosityredpill7030]

@@bxallstar718 so with it being so small what happen after 3-5 years when the battery charge percentage lowers?

[@hieuhughesle-au9884]

Renegade E-Hawk?

Soon

[@simonj126]

Looking like Ben contracted out thumbnail production to a Bangladesh sweat factory. Generic red arrow to the left, thumbs up dad pose to the right. Look at the last 4 or 5 videos lol

[@BenHardyCars]

Lol nope, just me playing with things in paint

[@cknight4281]

Its not 28.3 mpg though, when the battery is down it runs as a hybrid and the fuel economy is worse then the regular wrangler because of the extra mass from the battery pack. 20 miles is short range, unless you can charge at work.

[@perfdavid]

Yup. And i charge at work. I get 25 miles on a charge. Serves me well

[@ksockhak]

that constant having to charge is not worth it, ill wait for the full electric

[@jatoriaabrams3291]

@@ksockhak you don’t “have” to charge, that’s the perk of hybrid, waiting for all electric you will have no choice but to charge.

[@mowcowbell]

@@ksockhak Takes 30 secs to grab the cord and plug in is not a hassle at all.

Why dies the Acura dealer have a Hybrid Wrangler? Asking for a friend.

[@BenHardyCars]

Trade in probably

[@JP-nisu_2]

Awful blue accents. Can you do a special order without the blue accents?

[@PilotVolunteer]

Slow down buddy it's not a race

[@JohnWick-uq1su]

I paid 82,000 for mine in California with 1200 miles. Did I get ripped off? Sticker price was 64,000

[@mowcowbell]

Ouch! I ordered a 2023 from my local dealership in El Reno, OK and paid MSRP. Wrangler Sahara 4xe, cold weather package, color matched hard top, front trail cam, all weather mats. $61K.

[@JohnWick-uq1su]

@@mowcowbell it was a rubicon 4xe. Does that make a difference?

[@freddy4130]

It would be worth it if it wasn’t $12K more than the same gas wrangler. As it stands, you’d need to drive on only electric for close to 8 years to make up the difference. Seems like an expensive virtue signal.

[@JoshuaYates66]

4xe has 375hp / 470pf of instant torque. Much more than the 2L or 3.6L. You would need to option the 392 V8 for those kind of numbers, it’s $20k less than the 392. 4xe has a $7500 tax rebate also, which helps offset that cost. Wranglers are by no means energy efficient, so as a “virtue signal” it would be a huge fail. I don’t think that is a factor in peoples decisions to purchase

[@freddy4130]

@@JoshuaYates66 until the battery is is exhausted after a short trip to Whole Foods. Then it’s just an inefficient mess.

@@freddy4130 I’m not going to argue with you about it being inefficient, it’s a Jeep. However, when the display reads

@@hardys1977 well, when you pay $12K because you think you’re not using fossil fuels. But that’s a perfectly reasonable question if you don’t know where electricity comes from.
