The Extensive Advantages of Jeep’s 4xe Plug-in Hybrid Powertrains

Jeep's 4xe technology brings a transformative approach to off-road capability with powerful plug-in hybrid systems now available in both the 2025 Jeep Wrangler and 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. This advanced powertrain delivers exceptional performance while reducing environmental impact—proving that electrification enhances rather than compromises the Jeep experience.

The 4xe designation—pronounced "four-by-e"—marks a natural evolution that maintains Jeep's off-road heritage while adding electric capability. These vehicles deliver robust performance, outstanding efficiency, and unmatched 4x4 prowess that expands what's possible in the SUV segment.

Power That Performs

The 4xe powertrain delivers impressive output that enhances your driving experience both on highways and backcountry trails. Both the 2025 Wrangler 4xe and 2025 Grand Cherokee 4xe generate 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque through an integrated system combining a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with dual electric motors.

You'll feel immediate response from the electric motors, eliminating hesitation and providing quick acceleration exactly when needed. This instant torque delivery proves valuable in challenging off-road situations, giving you precise control over power application. The system integrates seamlessly with the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth power delivery across all driving conditions.

Efficiency Without Sacrifice

The 4xe powertrains dramatically reduce fuel consumption while maintaining full capability. The 2025 Wrangler 4xe achieves an average fuel economy of 4.8 Le/100 km, while the 2025 Grand Cherokee 4xe improves this further to 4.2 Le/100 km.

Your daily commute becomes more economical with the all-electric range—35 kilometres in the Wrangler 4xe and 42 kilometres in the Grand Cherokee 4xe. This electric capability allows you to handle routine driving without engaging the gasoline engine, reducing both fuel costs and emissions. The plug-in system eliminates range anxiety entirely, as the gasoline engine takes over seamlessly when battery charge depletes.

Enhanced 4x4 Capability

The 4xe system strengthens rather than diminishes Jeep's legendary off-road capability. Electric motors provide instant, precise torque for superior traction control and enhanced off-road performance in challenging terrain.

The 2025 Wrangler 4xe Rubicon achieves an exceptional 77.2:1 crawl ratio, while the Grand Cherokee 4xe delivers an impressive 47.4:1 ratio. These specifications translate to outstanding slow-speed control and obstacle-clearing ability. The Wrangler 4xe includes Dana solid axles and a two-speed transfer case, with Rubicon and Willys models featuring Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials for maximum traction.

One distinctive advantage for outdoor enthusiasts is nearly silent off-road travel in electric mode. This creates a more immersive natural experience, allowing you to hear wildlife and water crossings while navigating trails. The Grand Cherokee 4xe further enhances capability with the Quadra-Lift air suspension, providing up to 28.7 cm of ground clearance and water fording depth of 61 cm.

Customizable Driving Experience

The 4xe system includes E Selec driving modes that let you tailor performance to your specific needs:

Hybrid Mode optimizes performance by intelligently managing power from both the engine and electric motors, delivering responsive acceleration and efficiency across various driving conditions.

Electric Mode runs exclusively on battery power, providing silent, zero-emission driving perfect for quiet neighborhoods or peaceful natural settings.

eSave Mode prioritizes the gasoline engine, preserving battery charge for later use—particularly valuable when you want to save electric power for specific portions of your journey.

The Max Regen feature increases energy recovery during deceleration, sending more power back to the battery while reducing wear on conventional brakes. This system makes your driving more efficient while extending electric range.

Practical Benefits Beyond Performance

The 2025 Jeep 4xe models maintain full utility alongside their advanced powertrains. The Wrangler 4xe tows up to 1,587 kg, while the Grand Cherokee 4xe handles up to 2,720 kg—ensuring these vehicles remain practical for your hauling needs.

The Wrangler 4xe includes the exclusive Jeep Power Box, effectively turning your vehicle into a mobile power station. With two 120-volt outlets providing up to 30 amps of output, you can power campsite equipment, tools, or recreational gear during outdoor adventures.

The integration of regenerative braking recovers energy that would otherwise be lost, storing it in the 400-volt, 17-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This system helps maintain battery charge while driving, extending your electric range and improving overall efficiency.
