- Jeep has introduced the 2025 Wrangler 4xe Backcountry special edition.

The Jeep Wrangler has lost some of its luster and the Ford Bronco appears to be eating into its sales as the American icon was down 3% last year, while its Dearborn rival climbed 3.3%. However, the company isn’t going down without a fight as they’ve introduced a new special edition.
Known as the Wrangler 4xe Backcountry, the model is based on the Sahara trim and combines premium features with off-road upgrades. The latter are pretty prominent as the four-door SUV has been equipped with steel bumpers, rock rails, and a Mopar grille guard. The special edition also rides on unique 20-inch wheels that are wrapped in 32-inch General Grabber A/T tires.

The styling changes don’t end there as the Jeep wears a body-color hardtop and can be equipped with an available body-color power roof. Elsewhere, there are Backcountry graphics on the hood, fenders, and rear swing gate.
Interior changes are more modest as the Backcountry sports auxiliary switches, Mopar slush mats, and a nine-speaker Alpine audio system. The model also has a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system with GPS navigation as well as off-road trail guides.
Rounding out the highlights are the Trailer Tow package, a front TrailCam, and a Jeep Power Box. The latter plugs into the Wrangler’s charging port and turns the model into a massive power bank that features two 120-volt outlets.
Like the standard Wrangler 4xe, the special edition has a plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a 17.3 kWh battery pack, and an eight-speed automatic transmission with an integrated electric motor. This setup enables the model to produce 375 hp (280 kW / 380 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. Customers can also expect an electric-only range of around 22 miles (35 km).
Production will be limited to 5,800 units for North America and U.S. pricing starts at $64,290. The model will also be available in Canada, where it retails for $73,895 CAD.
