I have the 4xe 2022 Sahara. I’ve been able to get up to a 29 mile charge and am averaging 37 mpg! I am in love with this Jeep! It’s my third and by far the nicest I’ve owned. ✌🏼0lllllll0

Good review as per usual! You solidified my initial thoughts on that thing. Seems like it would be a great and fun 2nd vehicle to use on weekends offroad.

Great vid! Just got my 4xe about a week ago! Looking forward to more videos! Cheers!

I agree about the driving experience in a Wrangler. I just bought a new 2023 Wrangler Willys. My other 2 vehicles are a Charger Scatpack and a Silverado and the Wrangler gives a whole new experience--you're sitting high up--large and in charge.

Regarding the transmission, the automatic transmission is an intrinsic part of the hybrid system (one of the electric motors is built into the transmission and takes the place of the torque converter). A manual version would require a complete drivetrain redesign, so I'm fairly confident in saying it's never going to happen on the 4xe.

I love my 2023 Willys with the one touch power roof! 😂

I have a gladiator gobi willys, softtop with a manual. I enjoy the manual except the clutch sucks. Would totally replace it if I felt like spending the money. Otherwise, I like it being tech enough but simple. Softop is totally worth a little extra noise, takes 10 seconds to fold back.

I work 3 miles from my home and plug it in at work and I’m still on my original tank of gas from when the dealership filled it and it’s been almost a month. To the wrangler enthusiasts who say they will never buy a hybrid, you are fools and I hope you enjoy throwing away gas money every few days.

As a Jeep addict, I have a 2005 TJ Rubicon and a 2024 Rubicon X on order, I would say this is a good review. My only 2 cents would be for buyers to really understand what a Jeep is. It's a two solid-axle off road vehicle, it rides like a heavy duty truck with two solid front axles, understand that. I would not even classify it as an SUV due to its hard characteristics. The top would leak (more than they already do) if it were made of more pieces. Do your homework if you are looking to buy a Jeep. It can be the worst choice you make or the best... not much in between. Great call on the tires, you would think the Rubicon would get the M/T. Good job on the video!

To be able to shift the automatic transmission in manual mode is good enough for me.

it’s the jeep wave! duck jeep, a happy ride💕

Love my Willy’s 4xE normally keep it eletric only range since I don’t drive much. Sometimes I do e save mode to fire engine up manually just to please my “ICE” itches I must say it’s weird having a dual clutch in a wrangler but I’ve always been a fan of them just never even thought nor noticed until recently it was one. Only negative I have is that 2.0T sounds like bolts in a can sometimes but it doesn’t bother me much.

I just bought a 2024 high altitude 4xe and it does have wireless car play

i have a 2023 Runicon 4xe 20th anniversary, and ive noticed the battery last longer if you turn off the AC or heater. also, the top does not weight 180 lbs, its about 100.

How many electic miles does the willys 4xe get on a full charge? This might be the better trim to go for. In the 2024 models, I heard they will have lockers like in the ribicons.

At least half of the 11 dislikes you mentioned have been addressed for the 2024 model which is nice honestly. It definitely a great car

I traded in my 2018 bolt in January for a Willys 4xe. I purchased someone else's brand new soft top off of facebook marketplace, and that's going to be my weekend project of taking off the hard and putting on the soft top for the summer. I would say your likes and dislikes match up to what I have seen and experienced as well. Great video!

I had a 4XE Rubicon and I liked the horse power and the looks of the blue accents. However on long trips when the electric range was depleted it felt like the engine had to work to accelerate and maintain charge on the battery. It's also a very complicated drive train. 4XEs are great for short commutes but if you want one long term buy an extended warranty because the hybrid components are expensive. I ended up trading it for a Gladiator Mojave because I wanted to carry more and I liked the fox suspension.

Subscribed.

I built 2 electric vehicles in the early 2000s, both had standard transmissions, even though it could be run without shifting in 3rd or 2nd gear because of the high torque and rpm’s available. I like shifting and you can hardly believe the torque you can get in 1st gear with 500 hp and 600 ft lb of torque. We’d get mid 4 second 1/4 miles shifting 1st and 2nd, but would get low 4 second 1/4 miles just keeping it in 2nd. These times both started with the clutch fully engaged and stomping on the throttle. We’d often slip the double sprung CenterForce clutch and burn about 15 ft of rubber with these 5000 lb lead acid based electric vehicles. Good times for sure!

Regarding wireless car play, it is pointless because there is no wireless charging pad in a Wrangler.

The big key, does the battery last longer, is it water proof, does it have better range?

The flip key is to lock the console

Thank you. Would you tow a camper with it?

I was shocked when you said the hard top weighs 180 pounds? Is that for real? Also, have you had any reliability problems (over and above what's expected for a Jeep)?

Hows your car in the rain?? I know it is good on M/S

I’m bit late, but I have two questions, first one: does the truck run stay in electric mode at highway speed? Does the engine kick on at all before the battery is depleted? Second one is there a “step” in the gas pedal to let you know if you pass that point the gas engine will kick on? Thanks!

can't you get the 3-piece roof top?

Ive never seen a Willys only Rubicon's and Saraha

A manual transmission would be you pushing it 😂🤣

Sky Top or bust!

Stella this cup holders

What type of deal did you get on the lesse

I’m driving a loaner from the dealership while they continue to work on my 2008 Wrangler Sahara. They’ve given me a loaner 2023 Grand Cherokee L and Apple Car Play works extremely well.

My concern would be as a very serious off roader, the extra weight of the battery concerns for sand and mud flotation issues

What you talkin bout Willis?!

There will never be a manual model and it has nothing to do with mechanics (although that’s also a primary reason as has been mentioned) but the reason is social and cultural. Nobody under the age of FORTY can drive a stick anymore! I’m 66 and I was raised on a stick. Learned to drive off-road in an army M151-A1 quarter ton JEEP. I was a U.S. Army Infantry Officer from 1980-1994 between active and reserve time.

Worst thing about any jeep? Replacing windshield too often. I’ve had my 4xe for 5 months/12k miles and already had to replace mine. Was same issue on my jk

Finally someone who knows how to pronounce the name!! and.... Go Bills!

The hinges will rust, jeep can't keep up with the warranty claims

What is the name of your color??

Also no rear side airbags. Been to couple accidents where there were accidents and the rear curtain bag bags could have saved major injuries

Regarding the big key, it actually serves a purpose. My wife and daughter frequently misplaced the Honda key but for 5 years, the Jeep key is never lost in the house.

The real negative thing about this particular electrified variant is the long term longevity. Once that battery dies it just going to be a dead weight, also the cooling system of the jeep is tied to the cooling of the battery another nightmare to deal it. Off course most of the people that buy the 4xe wont be keep them for the long run.

13-11=2....so there are only two things you like about it....for 60k. Wait until warranty runs out.

For the 11 things: 1. I bought a 2024 4xe, it has wireless carplay, but I don’t use it. I prefer to plug my phone in a cable so that my phone get charged at the same time. 2. The backseat is not meant for humans, it is a torture chamber since the JK unlimited released. But in our case, the backseat passenger in the family is our beloved golden retriever, who fits nicely back there. It also discourages friends to asking for a ride, yeah!! After my wife trucked her friends inside our 2018 JL, it seems they never want to ride in it…again 3. Radio presets? Never use them and don’t even know where they are and how to set them 4. EV range is a joke, I only use the EV for acceleration. If I remember to charge it, I will charge it, otherwise the Turbo 4 is good enough.

Manual hybrid won’t happen

It looks like you beed a Bronco. The engineers were fired 20 years ago so no real changes.

My wife had three Rubicons and now has a 2024 4xe Willys. You did a very pleasant review, but how could you NOT include the absurd price in the things you hate? 62K? These are truly fun and unique vehicles I F you are an off-roader. If not, they are an absurdly overpriced, electrically and mechanically unreliable vehicle. My wife had so many problems with her Rubicons at that this time around she got a five-year extended warranty. These are cult cars, and after all these years, Jeep has never learned how to make a truly reliable vehicle. Even the jeep technicians at two different dealerships admit that. I’m kind of a dull guy, so I drive a 2023 CRV top trim hybrid. They are entirely different vehicles for comparison true enough, and my AWD is certainly not for off-roading. But my CRV is infinitely more refined and infinitely more reliable with lots more room and more storage space even though it is considered a compact SUV. There is no excuse for so many Jeep reliability problems. I’m glad my wife, who pays for her own car, this time got an extended warranty. With the electrical problems which popped up in her Rubicons, I can hardly imagine what kind of problems will show up in this truck down the road. And with a CD of .47, forget about good mileage when you’ve used up your charge. On a recent trip where she couldn’t recharge, she was getting 17 MPG on the highway, which was worse than the Rubicon. It’s a heavy cinderblock by design, so there is no real fix for that.

Wireless CarPlay is trash honestly long term

Nice color, but i will wait for thr new 2024 Lexus GX offroad.. 🦾
