Why do I keep saying “new” in quotes?
This is a facelift model year
The JL has been out since the 2018 model year
And now 5 years later it gets an incredibly subtle update
But that’s kind of the way of the Wrangler - sticking to it’s roots
So what’s new outside
Well the grille is a little,ready? Shorter
Also it’s darker
And they’ve had to rework the cooling since smaller
And that’s basically it from the exterior
The grille is like the only major update for 2023
The winch
But I should mention that NOW you can spec this WARN winch from factory
WARN is one of teh most prolific brands of Winch out there
Much better than the shmittybilt
This one has an 8000 lb capacity
You always want like 1.5x your vehicle’s weight in a winch
$2000 option
The new grille was designed with this winch in mind
Antenna
Also they removed the long floppy antena
The antena is actually worked into the windshield
Which is Gorilla GLass btw
And still folds down onto these hood grommets
What’s new inside
New screen standard across all trims
Pretty great
12.3 in screen
uConnect 5 updates
Wireless ACP & AA
OTA updates
No 360 camera
And a bunch of offroad stuff we’ll talk about later
This is the 4XE, what does that mean?
It means it’s a plug in hybrid
It’s actually te best-selling PHEV on the market
40% of wrangler sales
It’s a 2.0T 4 cylinder
Very wheezy
But with the 2 electric motors
375 hp
470 lbft - same as V8 392
0-60 in 6 sec - not slow
Just sounds terrible
Just over 20 miles of EV range
Charging door on front driver fender
Plug emporia
Charged itself from dead in under 2.5 hours
You get 5% off w/ link in description
Efficiency
You have 3 modes
In eSave mode you get 15-17 mpg depending on wind
In hybrid that goes up to whopping 20 or 21
But with a full battery and full tank you’re still going less than 300 miles
Towing
4XE gets a tow rating of 3500 lbs
That’s less than the V6 AND the 2.0T
That’s cuz this thing weighs over 5200 lbs
Can get up to 5000 lbs
But only with the V6 and auto transmission
And the Dana 44s
Wheels and tires
33 in BFG KO2 A/T tires
Wrapped around some kinda gross wheels
CANT get the 35 in Xtreme Recon package with the 4XE
Rubicon X things
$8500 package
Steel front bumper
Skids underneath
Rock rails
Disconnecting front sway bars
Front and rear locker
The wheels and tires
Also gets full LEDs as std
Also gets adaptive cruise std on rubicon
No lane keep whatsoever
Probably cuz of recirculating ball steering
And solid front axle

Colors
The look here is still classic Jeep - they didnt change
But i love the Earl Gray paint
$600
Matte black hood decal for glare
And it fits well with the blue 4XE accents everywhere
Tour
Interior colors
And the inteior, of course is black
You can get red, but only with the V8
But you still get blue 4XE accents all over in here too
Interior upgrades
Some of the changes they made for 24 cant be seen
They’ve not got side curtain airbags std
Not for sport trim tho
They did a lot to reduce NVH
But it’s still a Jeep and still louder than a bronco
And now you have power seat controls
Cluster
Still not full digital
Which of course you can get on the Bronco
Jeep said they didn’t want to overwhelm their customers
Really?
With a piece of tech that’s been around for a decade?
What does that say about what Jeep thinks about their buyers?
Offroad apps
Offorad pages - normal
Adventure guides
GPS trail logs
They show up to Jeep functions, see everyone is running Gaia GPS
Trail recordings - record your trail run
Plus a dash accessory rail to mount GoPro
Thanks Bronco
Fabric Fiat roof
Something you CANT get on a Bronco
This full length fabric roof
$3300
Works up to 50 mph
Std on high altitude trims
Really loud
And of course the doors and stuff come off
Trunk
Same as usual
28 cu ft
Gas wranglers will get 5 more cuft
JL gen schematics on gate
Rear seats fold but not even kinda falt cuz battery
Dont worry it’s completely sealed for water fording
Hammer and shovel on rear driver side only
Willys logos
Jeep is known for their easter eggs
And there’s a bunch of Willys logos all over
On each wheel center cap
On the corner of the windshield
On the rear floor mat
On the shifter
But the carl control and DAC are NOT willys, seems like a miss
Texture
Price
Starts 60k
As tested 77k
8500 for rubicon X
3300 for fabric skytop roof
2000 for the winch
600 for the paint - Авто та транспорт
$80,000 for a jeep wrangler is otherworldly insane. Better off leasing this than paying that dumb sticker price
Down to $49Kfor a High Altitude at Naples CDJR
Great review but why do you think everyone wants a full digital cluster? I do not- I like the setup the way it is
Thanks for your thorough review!
So much better with less digital screen this is perfect like that we don’t need digital screen
about 2 months ago we got the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe in white and it is great in every way! definitely recommended!
I don’t prefer a digital gauge cluster because if the computer chip ever goes bad you’re screwed
I got my other day,love it …
We got ours on Saturday and so far so good!
Thanks 👍 that was awesome 👌 I have the 4×e 2023 bikini blue 💙 it's an awesome ride. I haven't gone off roading in it but I love it and the color attracts people and they love the look. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever had thought that I would be blessed to have one. I haven't had it a year so it only has a little over 6,000 miles.
Ever restrict going temporarily electric mode not available for weeks at a time
@loualbert6051 I don't use the electtric mode but I have seen that announcement, when I go to do my recall I'll ask them about it
I would hate a digital speedometer and cluster. I hope we never get one.
The instrument cluster IS a Willys that morphs into a JL Rubicon
i have the 2023 Rubicon 4xe 20th anniversary, and the only way to leave the forward camera on all the time is to remove the 4x4...with 4x4, the camera goes off at around 15 MPH
Thank you 🙏
I made it 13 seconds before I turned it off. I was really interested in the stuff that you had to say.
Since I haven't been off road it's just as clean as when I got it, that's just me I love clean rides. I'm looking for the 2024 and I can't wait to see them in person. I'm leasing it's the way to go for me.
Thank you for sharing this, God bless you 🙏 I will say that regardless to all the nice things in this world 🌎 my relationship with Jesus is the most important thing in my life ❤️ I wouldn't want to live without him. My worse day is my best day when he's with me.
What year do you have and do you like it? We just got a 2024 Rubicon X 4xe. God bless!😊
@jasonrichard6286 2023 and yes I love it it's a hybrid
@jasonrichard6286 it's a 4×e
We love ours so far too! We are leasing it.
is it drive by wire?
To manufacture each EV battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, 25,000 pounds of ore for copper Diging up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust For just - one - battery.
You dropped this 🍼
@@illtrill So you’re one of those radical asshole snowflakes that likes to destroy our earth for your precious electric vehicle?
Thus making giant mounds of dirt for us to play on. I call that a win win
You should research how much energy is used to produce one gallon of gas. And while you are at it, see how much water is used. Battery tech is the future.
For the price !!!! And no 360 camara
Oh did you find the trex head on the passenger floor?
Oh and idk about yours, but my front windows are automatic down, just not up.
Does it have regen braking?
according to the website, yes
sport has side curtains
Yikes.
You can literally see the door jams from inside the vehicle... how unrefined.. I get it, it's not a unibody, has solid axle.. but refine the interior or people are gonna jump to the landcruiser since it does it better.
I owned a beautiful 2018 JLUR in red with a 3in lift on big tires.. Few things i learned.. 1. the tech is pointless, the uconnect is crap, it looks good, sounds good, has lots of cool functions, in a year or two none of it will work. 2. The ride is horrible.. between vague steering and ultra loud road noise even with the hard top and insulation it's not refined. 3. you don't buy one for mpg. 4. if you're like me and like a manual transmission, buy the bronco, jeep still has a recall on the clutch, mine had been replaced 4 times.. lastly.. They are toyota people, i traded my jeep in for a gx460.. but i do miss it..
Are the seats electric?
yes
Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! What's your favorite thing about the "new" Wrangler?
As a Disabled Veteran of the United States Army 🇺🇸 I thank God for my Nation and its people I pray that God will have mercy and bring us all through these dark days 🙏 😢 thanks again 🙏
May God protect you and bless you
get a mytop
Im purposely not buying until they give digital dash
i got the 2024 sahara 4xe and i a glad it doesn’t have a fully digital dash
Some of your specs are off
Why is everyone bragging about this Jeep it's just a square cracker box it has to be hard on gas why would anybody want this and this day and time with the gas prices going up there's a lot better looking vehicles then this and cheaper on gas I don't understand where is the attraction I can't find it
Wait and see when when the vehicle goes into the fuel service mode and the electric stops working big time bull shit. Mine getting returned some they confidently forgot to tell you when buying
I think we are all more concerned about your run on sentence.
Find me another vehicle where you get a full cage roll bar and can go through 30" of water.
