Great video. One of the best honest explanation and review of the 4xe

Thank you for posting this video! I pulled the trigger and signed and drove mine home tonight. '24 GC Trailhawk White/black two-tone. Other initial impressions: This is a dynamic vehicle. Luxurious, aggressive/off road look and feel... and fast. 375 hp/470 lb. ft. torq. felt much faster than I envisioned. Thank you again for this great video. It's great to know that there's no loss on HP/torque when the battery is at zero charge.

I use battery save mode. When I'm driving long distances so that uses gas at highway speeds and I switch it to EV while doing in town driving or stop and go traffic.

Great video! Love my 2021 4Xe Rubicon and 2022 4Xe Grand Charokee SR! The SR night vision system is so worth it! Battery charge would only be done if you are on way to a trail with no charger, and you want a full battery to go wheeling. Otherwise start trip in battery save. I use Max Regen braking in town where the start and stop captures energy, but on highway turn off to coast further. FYI- Wrangler 4Xe Fan channel showed the brake light does come on when Max regen is slowing vehicle to warn folks behind you. For me, after software updates, it did seem less “clunky” on transition to gas. Yep, if you want a 4x4, and your daily commute is say 50- 60 miles with no charging at work, 4Xe is not for you. Get a Diesel Wrangler for a more consistent 28mpg. If you have a lot of short trips, and level 2 chargers and home and work, it’s a fun addition to the garage.

Great review! We love our GC 4xe trail hawk . The way it was explained to me is the system reserves 15kwh for all electric driving and holds onto the other 2kwh to allow headroom for regen braking to work when battery is at 100% to protect from an overcharge situation, and to always have some power in the queue in hybrid mode. Math adds up with a level 2 charger at 32 A/ 7.2KWh takes a bit over 2h to charge. Friend of mine has the wrangler 4xe, he loves his too.

Nice Video! thank you.

Lots of great info in this one

2022 GC 4XE owner... Not sure if it's the same with the '23, but there were a lot of complaints about mode transition in the first few hundred miles before things appeared to smooth out. Also, if you get a chance next time you drive the GC 4XE, drop it into sport mode, and it feels even quicker since the ICE will already have been starting and idling, ready to go. No need for an engine startup reaction when you floor it.

Great video and great review thinking about getting the grand Cherokee 4xe I drive 50miles a day to work

You're right, typically you would not use battery charge. However, a good example of using this is if you know you're going into a mountainous region, you want to make sure there's plenty of battery to assist with long climbs.

I hardly charge mine and take long trips. I love it. 95% of the time it drives like a normal car. The other 5% you do get some burps, coughs and hiccups. Still love it over my previous GC with a regular ice engine/powertrain. The torque and overall power is impressive. Fun to drive.

We chose a 4xe base over a limited, as the $7500 plus other rebates put the pricing right there with a limited. But the 4xe base comes standard with the panoramic sunroof, passenger screen, and the better radio, making it a better buy in our opinion.

Great video! Plug-in hybrids seem to make a lot of sense so long as you have a home charger. I recently had a Volvo XC90 plug-in as a press car for a week, and finding a charger while out-and-about was very hard to do and often times not worth it. Otherwise I think they're great! Thanks for the in-depth review!

I never got 25 on the hwy with my v6. I get 20 with my 2022 Summit Reserve v6.

Thanks for this. I am looking at trading in my 2014 GC Summit for a 2023 Trailhawk. I have been kind of wary of the implementation but this helps a lot. The turbo 4 was not too big of a deal as it is almost as powerful as the current V6 anyway. I am getting ~20 to 21 mpg with my V6 on the highway these days, but it has some topo in the drive one way and the other way is flat and I get ~23 anyway. For me, my usage would be like your wife's and we have charging in the parking garage across the street, but there a lot of EV's there too. But I could use battery on the way in and gas on the way home. Probably could use battery around town for errands and the like.

5-8% of total range comes free due to regenerative braking, which is what I have experienced with my GC 4xe.

A great video idea how long does it take to charge while using the gas engine with a full tank and how much fuel does it use 🤔

Great video Questions if you don't have the answers it's ok. Say you run out of battery can the jeep kinda recharge it self driving around ? With hybrid mode will you still get that quick take off power like it claims with electric ? like is it all one system. I understand with gas only probably not. Just say it's hard to charge this often like you live in a neighborhood with houses where it's hard to put a plug outside and charge where you can. Can this jeep run with no charge at all and somewhat charge it self while driving some what per say. Would this require dealer service for like special brakes and rotors since the Regen braking system. Thanks for answering my questions.

I don't know how to go about the max regeneration. My dealer told me it's best to keep it in that mode, but it drives me crazy! Do the drivers behind me see the braking? I feel like it goes from 45 to 10 in literally 1 second. It's like brake checking people.

I like your fleece. Where can I get one?

Great video! In the video you say that when the battery is depleted you still have full power. How does that work? Doesn't the full power depend on both battery and internal combustion? It seems that once the battery is depleted you only have half the power with the internal combustion. Help me please.

We are buying one tomorrow. The Mrs drives 11 miles to work at the hospital and 11 back then charging while she sleeps for 8-12 hours. Should she be using the electric mode every time she drives? Or if the battery is charged will it prioritize the battery “more” in hybrid mode? Thus allowing us the maximum fuel savings. I will get her v6 18mpg highlander to use the once a month when I need it.

Great video! two things holding me back from a 4xe Wrangler or GC; First, the all electric range seems pretty dismal compared to the competition, and second, the price is outrageous! There isn't a jeep on the planet I'd pay 70k for, especially since the wrangler doesn't come with some features that really should be standard at that price point.

Why does no one show the window sticker ughhh

Good video. But IMNSHO Jeep really messed up by not pairing that electric engine with a V6. They basically went with the cheapest option that would BARELY be adequate. Had they done similar to what Porsche, Land Rover, and now Toyota did, they'd have a vehicle that was very compelling to former V8 owners along with existing V6 and new potential buyers. Many have seen what Toyota did with the 2023 Sequoia and it's iForce MAX hybrid powertrain with 437Hp & 583 lb-ft torque! And the word is that this same power plant will be in the upcoming brand new 4Runner! So I'll be waiting for THAT vehicles release, and if everything is correct... trading in my 2015 WK2 Overland V8 for one!

The only reason imo to buy the 4xe is for the extra horse power and torque. Otherwise the minimal electric capabilities are not worth the cost plus having to constantly plug it in is just not very convenient. Unless you need to horse power and torque for towing it just seems logical to stick with the V6 and not have the hassle of a tax credit and installing a level 2 charger (another couple grand for hardware and installation). 14 hours for level 1 charging for what, 25 miles of electric batteries? If it were 150 miles or even 100 miles it may be worthwhile but 25 miles just seems like a waste unless you do a lot of towing. Just my opinion and I own a 2024 Summit with the V6. I looked at the 4xe and the cost vs benefit didn't make sense for me. And honestly, the V6 has plenty of power for 90% of GC customers.

Jeep is only one that understands plug in hybrids are flexible usable. Why everybody else goes for electric boring also not convenient. I hope Jeep brand Dodge does not go doing what everybody else is does. And let other companies copy off their designs Backwheel drive is awesome to the Brand is better than front wheel drive with 4x4 drive

I owned one only very briefly and it was too long. While it is beautifully appointed the drive train sucks. Their plug in hybrid system is terrible. The battery drains even while driving on the highway and then what youve bought is an under powered mediocre MPG Jeep.

If you buy this, you are playing with fire. The Wrangler 4XE is getting HORRIBLE reviews because of reliability problems and Chrysler/Stellantis have never fixed these issues. If you still buy one, better start saving up for tow truck fees. I mean it.
