The Jeep Wrangler may not be popular in Nigeria, but it’s the perfect fit for Nigerian roads and is magically going to eliminate your carbon footprint. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE improved overall fuel efficiency when a strict charging regimen was maintained. As a bonus, the 4xe’s hybrid powertrain puts down the same 470 pound-feet of torque as the boisterous Hemi V-8-powered Rubicon 392. That said, if your situation involves mostly short drives of 21 miles or less at speeds of under 80 mph, the Wrangler 4xe can provide electric-only daily transportation. 

The Wrangler Unlimited with the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain gives you pleasing power and the ability to drive about 22 miles on all-electric power on a full battery. All of the typical Wrangler attributes are intact, too. 

First and foremost is the long-overdue standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen running Uconnect 5. The new Willys model offers an easy way to get improved off-road performance and equipment at a bargain price. First- and second-row side airbags are now standard, and Trail Offroad navigation software is available. There’s also a new Jeep 4xe Power Box, which features four 120-volt outlets with 30 amps of total output, allowing the battery pack to power external devices.

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Performance

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine augmented with a plug-in hybrid system, boasting 375 hp. That’s a significant boost over the Wrangler’s base V6 and regular turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Our fully charged test Wrangler Rubicon 4xe accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds. That’s respectable, although the regular four-cylinder Wrangler isn’t far behind (7.4 seconds).

The extra weight of the 4xe powertrain (our test Wrangler weighed 5,275 pounds) does take a toll on braking performance. In a simulated panic stop from 60 mph, our Rubicon 4xe needed 150 feet to come to a stop — that’s considerably longer than most SUVs need. Otherwise, the brakes are pretty consistent and easy to use in typical driving.

The Wrangler Rubicon’s off-road prowess is impressive thanks to its big tyres, disconnecting front stabilizer bar and lockable differentials. The 4xe has slightly less departure clearance than a regular Wrangler due to the extra protection needed for the battery, but we think that’s a small trade-off for what you gain.

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Comfort

The boxy design and large tyres create a heap of wind and road noise, especially with the optional power-retractable soft top. We did notice that the extra weight of the 4xe powertrain helped to settle the Wrangler’s ride on the highway a little.

The Wrangler doesn’t place much importance on passenger comfort, but among the highlights, the front seats are well-shaped and remain livable on long trips. The rear bench is flatter and firmer, but it reclines a bit. We like the effective climate system, which also features rear air vents.

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Interior

Once inside, you’ll find the Wrangler Unlimited has a decent amount of passenger space, but it’s by no means roomy. Though there are many controls (especially in the Rubicon and its numerous adjustments for off-road driving), the layout is refreshingly intuitive. The slender pillars and square windows greatly reduce blind spots.
