What Powers the Jeep 4xe Lineup?
Jeep's innovative 4xe PHEV system seamlessly blends the power of gasoline and electricity, featuring a two-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a high-capacity 400-volt lithium-ion battery pack, an electric motor mounted on the transmission, and another electric motor positioned on the engine. This combination empowers both the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe with a formidable 375 horsepower and a robust 470 lb-ft of torque. One standout feature is the electric motor within the transmission, ensuring that this substantial torque is instantly accessible without the need to wait for engine RPMs to build up. This attribute proves particularly valuable when navigating off-road terrain, as it furnishes the immediate power required to surmount trail obstacles. In addition to the impressive power, the Wrangler 4xe exhibits impressive efficiency metrics, boasting a rating of 49 MPGe, an electric-only driving range of 21 miles, and an overall driving range of 370 miles. Meanwhile, the Grand Cherokee 4xe offers an extended total driving range of 470 miles, an electric-only driving range of 25 miles, and an impressive 56 MPGe rating.
What 4x4 Systems Do Jeep 4xe Models Use?
4xe conjoins the phrase four-by-four with the word electric, reading four-by-electric. Therefore, one can assume that all Jeep 4xe models come standard with 4x4, and that assumption would be correct. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe comes standard with the trusted Selec-Trac 4x4 system. Selec-Trac is an intelligent, full-time automatic 4x4 system. Instead of using driver input to shift between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, the Selec-Trac system does it automatically by sensing changes in road conditions and adapting itself accordingly. Meanwhile, the Grand Cherokee 4xe comes with Quadra-Trac I 4x4, a full-time four-wheel drive system that splits the engine's torque by 52% to the rear wheels and 48% to the front wheels, providing drivers with phenomenal traction at all times.
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe and Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe
While the 4x4 systems deliver outstanding off-road capabilities, Jeep goes the extra mile by offering dedicated trim levels tailored for off-roading in both the 4xe models. First, the Wrangler Rubicon 4xe represents the electrified evolution of the iconic Rubicon trim, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023. In place of the Selec-Trac system, the Wrangler Rubicon 4xe employs the Rock-Trac 4x4 system, elevating traction on rugged terrains. Notably, the Rock-Trac transfer case boasts a low-range gear ratio of 4:1, meaning that in 4-Low mode, the transfer case output shaft turns once for every four rotations of the transmission output shaft. This results in increased torque at lower speeds, ensuring enhanced traction during off-roading adventures. The Wrangler Rubicon 4xe also boasts features such as all-terrain tires, FOX suspension, an electronic sway bar disconnect, locking differentials, and a host of other off-road enhancements. On the other hand, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe commands mastery over all terrains with its Quadra-Trac II 4x4 system. This system replaces the single-speed transfer case found in Quadra-Trac I with a two-speed transfer case, bestowing the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe with superior traction, thanks to the availability of the 4-Low mode. Standard features for the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe include, among others, Quadra-Lift air suspension providing up to 11.3 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, electronic sway bar disconnect, an anti-glare hood decal, and high-strength steel skid plates.
