Fully-Spec 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Is One Seriously Expensive Plug-in Hybrid SUV

Jeep has launched the online configurator for the 2021 Wrangler 4xe, which lets users build their ideal model.

The first step is to select the exterior color of the vehicle, although if you want anything other than white, you will have to pay a $245 premium. Then you will have to decide if Mopar’s grille and the integrated off-road camera are something that you really need, as the first one costs $325, while the second one is a $595 option.

The body-colored fender flares are another $695, while the Sky One-Touch Power-Top will set you back $4,095. The 17-inch wheels shod in the chunky off-road tires from BFGoodrich are standard though.

The leather-trimmed seats, all-weather floor mats, Mopar’s grab handle kit and others are also options, so you may want to pay attention to how many boxes you check, because the Wrangler 4xe specified by us has a net price of $67,630. That’s a $15,935 premium over the MSRP of the Wrangler Rubicon 4xe, and it makes the SUV just $1,780 cheaper than a base Grand Cherokee SRT and $2,465 cheaper than a Ram 1500 TRX.

Built at Jeep’s Ohio facility, which is where the rest of the Wrangler lineup also comes to life, the plug-in hybrid variant of the SUV has a 17 kWh lithium-ion battery that gives it a maximum electric range of 25 miles (40 km). Power is supplied by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and two electric motors, for a total of 375 HP (380 PS / 280 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque.
