Great review 👏 . Respect your honesty about the minor issues . Your absolutely right. People will always find something to complain about and blow out of proportion. I think you just sold me!

Thank you for this. Waiting to get mines in January, so this was very informative.

I have a had my Rubicon 4xe for about 15 months. It is fun to drive and very capable . At 12 months exactly I had the electric heater go out. It would still run just fine but would not go into battery only. I had two dealers tell me it was normal and I did not understand how a hybrid works. Finally I got a hold of a Jeep tech online to get him to send me the tech bulletins and how to troubleshoot. I took that information into the dealer and they finally agreed it was the heater. Took almost 2 months of back and forth. That has been my only issue. I love the Jeep but Jeep really needs to step up their training, especially since they are bringing out the 4xe to many different models. Jeep Cares (Wave) is just about useless.

Thank you for a great review! I'm getting ready to purchase my first Rubicon and it's the 4xe model. Appreciate the information.

Thanks for the review. I've been a Jeep owner for many years. 2 Jeeps in the past I've used to both commute and some light wheeling in the Northeast. So, I'm very excited to see what these new Hybrid Jeeps are offering. They have double the HP and I think torque as both my 06 Rubicon TJ and 08 JK. 2 doors. Plus 49 MPG .... OMG. Best I could get was 15-18 MPG if I kept my foot out of the throttle at highway speeds. I ran 33x10.5 BFGs K-2s with a 2in lifts on both of mine. JK was a 6-speed and a V-6, 06 an automatic I-6 These new hybrids are rated at 375 HP, nealy 300ft lbs. of torque out of an I-4 and batteries. TONS of new features. I'm excited and now want one. WOW WOW WOW. Again, Great review.

Very nice video!! You are right to say positive reviews or positive forum remarks are not published enough. I too have a 2021 HA 4xe and have not had any issues at all. All updates were done before I got it in November of 2021. For a 1st time model, I am satisfied.

We have had ours since January 2022, absolutely love it. No issues

Awesome video man, thanks for posting…I can’t wait to buy one of these:)

I'm so glad I researched, I checked all fuses and tighten ball joints on first day !!!

I've had mine for about 6 months and have put over 6000 kms on it. I knew from the forums to check the fuses when picking it up from the dealership - lo and behold most of them were quite loose. I seated them in properly and have not had a single issue. Hopefully it stays that way. The thing is a beauty, and everyone is amazed when they see a giant Rubicon roll up silent.

Great video 👍 You removed the barriers for many uninformed folks .

I have an early '21 Sahara as well. 30.000km done. Other than recalls and a cracked windshield (which is an issue w Wranglers) I have not had any issues, never stuck in FORM even in Montreal winters, though my mileage does sink in the winter more than yours. Great review and spot on!

Thank you for your intelligent and comprehensive review as we are considering one of these. Well done.

Great info I have not heard b4 thanks Mike 👍

Thank You again for a Very Calm purposeful report. Your new one in white looks Beautiful. I forgot to mention that mine in sargent green( my dream from the Willy`s from 1944 Normanndie) are a 2022 model Have a Nice day. TK 🇳🇴

I have a BMW 330e and this video is very helpful in comparing plug-in hybrids.

I have a 2021 Wrangler 4xe and loving it. It is a fantastic vehicle and I can manage 5 days of work commute/week completely on electric (~20 miles) and use ICE only during weekends.

awesome review, I have mine for almost a year now and your review is spot on.. same for me during my Canadian winter haha I am losing same amount of mileage I have a heated garage also,but if you don't have a garage during a Canadian winter I am sure it will have more an effect on the battery.. just discovered your channel..'I subscribed' as fast as I could 😂😂

Just hit 10,000 miles and have had my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe for a year. No problems so far. Great video and insight! Also, I am now subscribed! 👊😊👊

Subscribed, thank you very much for your experience!

I agree having the options is great, and boy it can off-road what a beast !!!

Thanks. Useful. We bought ours yesterday and never stop watching this presentation and the one before.

Great information! Thank you

Within a month of getting my 2022 4xe my battery … my dealership did not believe me. I appreciate finding your video and only wish I would have found it earlier!

My 21 Rubicon has 20,000 miles. Flawless, not even a rattle. Beautiful blue Rubicon. I wish it got more electric miles but I still use about 40% electric overall. Our other vehicle ,IE wife's car is the Ford Mustang Mach E all electric and we love that as well.

Awesome review… we have a Jl Sport and just love it and have been looking at the 4Xe for a second Jeep this has helped a ton🤟

I have a 2020 Wrangler ICE 2.0L, 4 door with 55k miles. Not an issue with a single thing. No a squeaks, rattles, mechanical etc. This is my first Jeep and im impressed. Im going to be looking at the 4xe got my next vehicle.

Had one for awhile. Sold it and went with 392. Loved that one more.

Love my GC 4xe. 12,000 miles of smiles. There are some oddities to the powertrain, but the power is fantastic and it runs smooth.

Good review. I’ve had my Rubicon 4xe for nearly a year and love it. Up to 5 badges of honor with more to come. The rubicon model is very capable off road and often times makes obstacles that other JLs struggle with look easy. My #1 complaint, and it’s not against jeep, is the mod market has not caught up with the 4xe. READERS BE WARNED! Not all parts that fit a JL will fit the 4xe. The mod market is slowly catching up, but lately I’ve ran into a lot of dead ends finding a full suspension lift kit that is rated for the 4xe. The added battery weight requires heavier duty suspension than a standard wrangler, so make sure the manufacturer of the lift kit certifies the kit for a 4xe. Call them to verify. Vendor’s websites are not usually accurate when they match the part to your jeep because they assume a JL is a JL. Jeep should almost create a separate line, like JLe, to distinguish it from the other JLs. I’ve ran into the same problem with skid plates, but didn’t do my research before purchasing. Now I have two JL differential skid plates (front and rear) for sale.

I have the 2023 model. Love it!

Fuel oil refresh. I was able to get this to go away by cycling the "key" on and off a couple times then letting it run for a few minutes. There is no reserve battery capacity. The gas engine will provide power to the electric when the battery is dead.

I have a gray 2012 Jeep Liberty 🗽 in new condition. That 4xe looks like my Liberty.

I own a 2021 4Xe and 2020 Tesla, Model S, Dual motors, long range…I love them both!

Wow, so you were able to use Electric Mode in the winter -- That's great! I've read horror stories about that FORM preventing use of Electric Mode. We'll see how our new Rubicon 4xe does, we got it in springtime and we live here in northern Utah where it sometimes gets down to -20 degrees F. I'm prepared to use OBDLink MX+ to find any root cause of FORM or other cause of Electric Mode Unavailable.

Thanks for the vid! I can say that in winter, in an unheated garage, it takes about 20-25% longer to charge, at least at 120V. I also do not have any FORM issues. And yeah, there's a LOT of misinformation about this particular PHEV, with the Stellantis marketing department to blame in many cases.

I fuel up about every 2-3 weeks so what a savings !!!

a real review from an owner. Pisses me off mf'rs that don't even have them report hearsay and call it a review. Thank you sir!

What an Amazing Jeep that’s beautiful

Thank you!

Is there a list of super cold or hot places with Jeep Wrangler 4xe's? I live in Fort St. John, BC, Canada and recently the temps. here were -40C (-50C wind chill) with lots of snow and the roads not maintained properly or proactively. In the summer, the roads here have lots of potholes. I really, really love Jeep Wrangler 4xe but I really want to know if it's good in these kinds of temps. and road conditions. Any info would be great, thanks. Just an added info, I'm not an off-roader, drives very, very minimal, slow & careful driver, doesn't know a lot about cars and I might have to park this on the street. Thanks.

I’ve had the 4xe 2022 20k km and I’ve had 0 issues. Took it off roading on a very challenging trail which involved the Jeep going through water levels that reached its hood. Still no issue

Very nice looking Jeep, great color matched top

It appears that a software update is around the corner for FORM. Did you get the Gorilla Glass for the windshield? Good video by the way.

Great video! As the original owner of a 2012 JK Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, I often think of buying a JL generation Wrangler (as a second car!). Until watching your video, I never before would have thought of buying an electric car or a hybrid vehicle---of any kind. Now, next time I'm on Oahu or Maui (my wife and I live on Molokai which has no new or used car dealers), I'm definitely going to visit a Jeep dealership and try a 4xe. (The first one of these I ever saw was pre-launch in Moab, Utah. I was interested enough to take several photos of it, but these photos were all taken early in the morning at the same hotel my wife and I had stayed in the night before.) Again, your video on your 4xe Jeep Wrangler has piqued my interest in this hybrid---but it's a hybrid Jeep Wrangler JL! Thank you very, very much! Andy McKane, 6 February 2023, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

Nice information

Never any issues for me still amazing vehicle and I live in the cascade mountains weather always changing as with anything mileage depends on driving habits

Just traded in my ‘15 wrangler unlimited for the ‘23 sahara 4xe and this video made me even more excited, I miss my old girl but looking forward to the adventures I’ll be taking in this one!

I love mine @17,000 and no issues !!!

I just bought a 2024 high altitude and it’s fantastic

NIce Video!

Good Review, thanks for taking the time. Your HA 4xe is almost a twin to mine outside of the interior color, looks good. I must say that I've had a slightly different experience that is a major concern for my long term confidence. I purchased my 4xe in June 2021 and to date mine has been in service 3 times for a total of almost 7 weeks. Two of those were related to Battery/Charging issues and the other having to do with Ball Joints. All of these were related to Technical Bulletins (not true recalls) and were know issues with the vehicle. Besides the lengthy time out of service I have concerns with Jeep Dealerships being prepared and able to service the platform as each time I bring it in there's only 1 Technician certified to work on it, regardless of the nature of the issue. I'm sure Jeep and the Dealers are working to improve on this given the extent of 4xe models launching in the next year, so we'll see. For now I have a Bronco on order and expected in early 23...will see how my 4xe makes it over the next few months.

I want one but I'm worried about the long-term reliability. My truck I have had for over 200 thousand miles. I doubt I could get that, what do you think? Also how much is a new windshield? 🤣My ex had a commander and we did her windshield a couple of times. People don't realize that is an issue

Thanks for the followup review. I have a 2023 Wrangler Sahara 4xe on order, looking forward to picking it up. Subscribed. I look at the 8" step up in the cargo area as a nice way to catch loose items from rolling all the way to the front seats.

4xe High Altitude after 8k miles had very bad shutter when traveling above 55 mph. Turned out that from dampers needed to be tightened. Other than that no issues

Great video, thank you. I have a 2012 Sahara. I'll be looking to upgrade soon. I'll either buy a used 2022, 2023 or buy the upcoming 2024. I also RV a lot. On the RVing, do you get charged for charging the Jeep while at a campground? Do you carry solar on the RV? Is it enough solar to charge the Jeep some while boondocking?

I ended only having about 58k miles on my Jeep Wrangler. I just traded it in. Still no issue with nothing. If it was up to me, I would of been looking at a Jeep 4XE or Grand Cherokee & the new 2024 Chevy Traverse. The highway noise that the Wrangler Produces get to you after a while. I do allot of highway driving. Because we live in Brooklyn NY, my wife and I can only afford and park one vehicle. So this time around it was her turn to pick the vehicle. So we ended up with a 2024 BMW X3. Im a Jeep, F250 type guy. Im in construction and have been blue collar person all my life. Even thought Brooklyn NY is not a place for an F250 unless you have a place to park it. Hope this helps Justin.

You should put a compressor plugin in your mic audio track. The volume difference is too big at times. Just saying:)

Funny I haven't seen a difference in electric mileage , but I'm here in California it's been pretty cold lately , I've never seen the fuel refresh mode .

Whats the cost to replace the electric battery? I have a '19 Wrangler JL and love it. That said I live in Montana where temps get -40 for days and like any other battery charging and recharging a battery after time will deplete them. I've heard the batteries are not a warranty item and the replacement cost is very expensive .

I bought a '21 4xe Ruby. EVERYTHING you stated is a mirror of my experience. I do have the clicking when turning and I simply thought that is because the 4xe and 392 have a different front suspension than the other Jeep models, I possibly and wrongly assumed that it was the nature of the 'beast'. I will get it checked out. Due to my typically short trips daily I overwhelmingly use more zapp than dinosaur juice. I average about 65-70% electric use vs 30-35% gas. So not including the costs of charging, I feel like I am getting 40-50mpg. I know there is a cost but have not calculated it yet. My electric bill went up about $30 but a lot of variables to consider. I have had mine a year and a half (purchased May 2021; a mere 2 months after hitting showroom floors). I live in Florida which environmentally is not as taxing in the cold as up North and I do NOT garage keep it. Offroad it is simply impressive. It makes me look better than I am when I let it do the thinking on crawling. I want to get new bumpers but I don't want to lose my blue hooks lol. Anyway, great review and will get my steering checked. Thanx dude!

Im thinking about trading in my 22 WRX for the 4xe. Thanks for the info.

The reason you have an issue with the electric mode when the temp. is in the single or minus digits F is the lithium ion batteries do not like cold. It takes time for your unit to warm up the battery to operation temp. so in that time it will lay idle. Just another way of protecting the batteries. Jeep has both a warming and cooling mode for the battery to extend its life.

Enjoyed the video, thinking of purchasing this vehicle. Have you experienced any water leakage into the vehicle?

That battery seems to take up quite some space in such a small vehicle. Jeep should do a 4xe on the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The false bottom in the cargo area, especially for the extended length, would be a perfect place to stick a hybrid battery and an inverter for something similar to Ford's ProPower.

I have a rav4 phev and the heater takes more power than using AC.

My 4xe has 15K. Out of nowhere I had an issue charging the Lithium battery. I could charge the car till I could get into the Mopar dealer. Several updates resolved it. Refresh and not electric available has shown up. I wish the salesman walked me threw these issues.

You sound & face expressions like michael Keaton Thank you for the info

Would not a non-plug-in hybrid be better?

Great assessment! It looks like you have a blue “e” on the charge port door. Would you mind letting me know where you found it? Thank you

Hi, I have a 2021 4xe. You meningitis there have been 9 updates. I am not aware of any that have been made on mine. Were they done electronically via wifi or were they done at the dealership? Thank you so much, Susan

My friend got one and it’s been at the dealer for 6 months due to multiple problems 😂

This thing would be perfect if they increased the range to at lease 40 miles on EV power

Great video with lots of insight. I just purchased a Sahara 4xe yesterday and love it. One question I have is which octane gas do you use? I’ve seen some that suggest using 91 or 93 octane vs 87. Thanks.

They make a custom air mattress for the hump !!!

I just bought my jeep two weeks ago less than 200 miles on it and a rock busted out my windshield is this something that’s going to happen regularly? I never had an issue with other cars but this is the first time it seems like everything hits the windshield very hard from bugs to dirt whatever is it because the windshield standing straight up??

In my humble experience (I own a fully electric vehicle and a Plug in Hybrid) The people who complain the most about electric vehicles are the ones who don't own any. Amazing the amount of opinion about something they would NEVER choose to own.

Is that a Bestop Sunrider on your HA 4xe? Do you like it? Noise on the highway much worse? I'm considering that purchase once I receive my Sahara 4xe, but the $949 price is a bit steep.

Reviews on the 2024 4XE I saw none of those problems.

How many miles before the lithium batteries need replacement, and, how much does that cost?

I got my 4xe in May and I only have 600km on it don't use it often because of where I live and how close I am by foot to get to work. I checked my oil live a few weeks ago it gave me 52% life left which is stupid and makes no sense.

Can you run the heat and a/c on battery only?

I'm excited to see how they redesign the Cherokee in 2025, no doubt it will be 4Xe.

22 Rubi. First time Jeeper. Victim of sudden loss of power and still love it. Let’s be honest the battery is a marketing gimmick but thankful our dummy lawmakers don’t know and got the rebate as a down payment for the lease. Future generations should get better!

Just got a 2024 JL 4xe HATE IT ! We have owned several Jeeps. This is a colossal pain in the ass.

What was your overall MPG in the first 20k miles?

Can you tow four wheels down with the jeep wrangler 4xE

Thanks for the review. Just waiting for the car world to come down from this crazyness. Ha, 2023 0r 24 4xE.

Do you have to run premium fuel in the 4xe?

I bought a wrangler 4xe with the cold weather package in January 2022. I live in Winnipeg, lots of snow and very cold (-20 C on average) in January and February. This vehicle has been great. Of the 4000 km we have put on it, approx. 3000 have been in electric mode. Regarding FORM, basically for the 2 coldest month, we were in hybrid mode, which has great gas savings, but electric was challenging, to the point we just didn't worry about it. Summary, if you can't read a manual, have little to no patience and maybe are not a little mechanically inclined...you probably shouldn't buy this vehicle.

I’m at first oil change and 7 months and 4500 miles

My is 2021 Rubicon it has blue hooks

FORM is a huge issue in states that get single digits all winter. Please, if you're going to buy one, look into it.

Would you say it’s more reliable than the regular jeeps?

What is your average long term mpg? Thanks for asnwer!

I watched this whole video waiting to hear your average mpg over 20k miles...... I have an eco diesel that I love.... just curious

RE: Flat Towing Jeeps I believe the new Grand Cherokee 4XE Base model cannot be flat towed. The rest of the trims of the 4XE Grand Cherokee can.

Why was the windshield replaced?

In 9 years is that a $20K e battery replacement bill?

How you get 30 miles, when it's rated at 21?
