For over 80 years, Jeep has led the automotive industry in producing the most capable vehicles that embody the freedom, authenticity, adventure, and passion of the off-road enthusiast. Now, Jeep's pioneering spirit extends to the emerging EV segment as they plan on a complete lineup of electrified vehicles. Jeep's 4xe powertrain represents the tip of this spear and provides 4x4 lovers with confidence Jeep will stay true to its heritage while charting a new and exciting course into an electrified future. This article explores the current 4xe Jeep models and the EV vehicles we can expect in the coming months. If you have questions about Jeep's EV lineup after reading, we encourage you to contact us.
What Is Jeep's 4xe Powertrain?
Jeep's 4xe powertrain combines the traditional gas-powered engine with electric motors powered by a Lithium-Ion battery to propel the vehicle. This dual-power setup eliminates range anxiety when traveling to far-off destinations, whether it's a road trip across state lines or an off-road adventure through state parks.
The 4xe technology allows you to enhance the power output of the gas engine with electrified torque, which provides more capability when traversing rugged terrain. Plus, you can run the 4xe powertrain in all-electric mode, saving you gas and offering the silent performance of an EV. You can also adjust the Jeep 4xe powertrain's output to suit various driving conditions.
Jeep designed the 4xe battery pack to be rechargeable. This plug-in hybrid technology uses energy from braking to help recharge on the go but also offers the ability to plug in and recharge at home or on the road.
2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
Jeep offers six Wrangler 4xe trims with a hybrid powertrain — the Sport S 4xe, Willys 4xe, Sahara 4xe, High Altitude 4xe, Rubicon 4xe, and Rubicon X 4xe. These models offer trim-exclusive features designed for different off-road adventures. Here's a quick look at the pricing for each model.

The Sport S model offers impressive performance from the 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired with electrified power. It has the capability you expect from a Jeep at an approachable price, and Jeep offers various options so you can make it your own.
The Willys 4xe has more off-road equipment, like a locking rear differential system, 17-inch wheels wrapped in off-road tires, and steel rock rails. Moving to the Sahara 4xe, you get trim-exclusive body-color fender flares, LED lighting, and 20-inch alloy wheels. You can also access premium options like Trail Cam, a three-piece body-color hardtop, and the Sky One-Touch power top.
High Altitude 4xe models have the capability you demand with the elevated fit and finish you deserve. Leather-trimmed seats with 12-way power adjustments and LED lighting provide comfort, while the 20-inch aluminum wheels and 32-inch tires provide performance.
Jeep's Rubicon 4xe delivers the off-road performance to tackle the roughest terrain thanks to its front and rear lockers, electronic sway bar disconnect, and 17-inch alloys with aggressive 33-inch off-road all-terrain tires. An available factory-installed WARN winch attached to its steel bumpers has an 8,000-pound rating to help get your less fortunate friends out of trouble.
The Rubicon X 4xe has some of the most capable equipment Jeep offers. Standard equipment includes winch-capable steel bumpers, the Trail Cam system, and selectable drive modes. Plus, you get the premium comfort of leather seats with heating and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, the largest in its class.
2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
When you can add a plug-in hybrid powertrain to an SUV and call it the most capable of its kind, you've done more than a few things right. Jeep's uber-popular Grand Cherokee 4xe lineup offers multiple 4x4 systems in six trim levels. Here's a look at the pricing for each model.
| 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Trim Level | MSRP |
| 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe | $60,490 |

| 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 4xe | $74,670 |
| 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4xe | $79,150 |
The Grand Cherokee 4xe comes with one of three capable 4x4 systems depending on the model — Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, or Quadra-Drive II. These systems operate in rear-drive mode when you don't need the traction. You can switch the Quadra-Trac drivetrain to 4x4 when you head off-road. However, the always-active Quadra-Drive II system automatically distributes power to all four wheels when it senses wheel slip and can send up to 100% of power to a single wheel if necessary.
Jeep engineered the Grand Cherokee 4xe with special water seals that allow the driver to ford up to 24 inches of water without harming the battery pack that powers the electric motors. In addition to the battery sealing, Jeep added reinforced housing protecting the underbody and its other vital components from striking obstacles on the trail.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe has a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors. This hybrid powertrain produces an impressive 375 total system horsepower and a best-in-class 470 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 6,000 pounds.
Grand Cherokee 4xe owners benefit from the hybrid powertrain's 56 MPGe rating from the EPA. With a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery, you can have up to 470 miles of driving range.
