#Jeep #Wrangler #ev - Авто та транспорт
I've had my 4XE for 1-1/2 years and love it! I wasn't an EV/Hybrid guy until I drove it. My commute is 6 miles each way so I run 90% electric and only buy gas every 4-6 weeks. But the real thrill is the power!! So much fun!
Well done. A member of my EV club has a coworker who bought the same vehicle but never charges it. Apparently there was some financial incentive to by the plug in hybrid making it (with tax rebate) a better deal than the ICE. Rather than embrace the opportunity, he’s just getting worse gas mileage lugging around a heavy battery and motor for no reason. And I’m concerned with current tax credits, this situation may multiply. Thank you for making the perfect use case work. You’ve restored my confidence some.
@@loriallen67
That's weird. Why wouldn't he charge it? He's paying more to run the car and you don't even need a level 2 charger if you don't want to install one. Just charge it with the level 1 charger that comes with it. Does he explain why he doesn't want to charge it?
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 not to my friend he hasn’t. Just that he can’t be bothered “with all that” was the impression I got.
How much did your Jeep cost?
but you still have to do maintenance on a combustion engine.
My cousin have one the first one that came out. She can go to work all week and just used 2 gallons of gas a week. She drives 160 miles total
Full EV for commuter car, gas or diesel for offroading and towing. Thats what I have its perfect mix.
if you don't care that they have higher emissions than simple gas cars AND are the most unreliable cars on the road, because of the drivetrain complexity.
@@Poxenium You’re wrong on all accounts. But it’s not my job to educate. I have a modified wrangler for off-roading and Tesla for around town. I drive what I enjoy simple as that.
This 4xe is perfect for people that aren’t dumb enough to but two vehicles at once
I agree EV Jeep is the new BudLight premoted by tranz.
I've had my '22 Rubicon 4xe for about 10 months now, and I couldn't be happier. I'm averaging 1,300 kms per tank as most of my driving is short distances and the power this thing delivers is quite impressive for a tank.
I had a BEV for 18 months. The instant torque was great and it was a blast to drive. We take long road trips and decided to switch to a PHEV because of the added time and stress involved with charging on the road.
Curious if you would have felt the same on the supercharger network
I, too, had a BEV for 24 months. I ditched the whole BEV concept because I didn't like the range anxiety or having to plan trips around charging networks. I also go camping and to Mexico regularly AND wheeling, so no BEV could do all that. What really sold me on a PHEV was when my buddies and I decided to go to Vegas on a whim on a Friday afternoon. I just took off with about 80% charge from my work and headed up the 15. My ICE buddies did the same. My Tesla friend only charged once a week at a supercharger since he lived in an apartment. His car was about 20%. So, he had to find a supercharger and wait to charge. I was at Barstow by the time he was done charging and on the road. His model 3 standard range had to charge again in Barstow. By the time he got to Vegas, we finished our buffet, did some gambling and were on our third round of drinks. We gave him the usual hard time about being a fan boy and he said if he only knew, he would have gone to work with a full charge. Well, that's the rub, isn't it? If you're BEV, there's no real spontaneity in trip planning. We're thinking of driving to Ensenda next weekend and he's going to rent an ICE car since he doesn't know what the supercharger network is in Baja. Uh, yeah...spend $$$ on a BEV, be a slave to a charger, plan trips around charging stations, and ultimately rent an ICE car for long road trips. PHEV is the way to go for now. I can plug in anywhere there's 110/120 or with a J1772. I have an on board battery charger through my ICE engine, and depending on the length of my drive, can recharge 60-80% and use those electrons to increase my ICE mileage. But most importantly, I'm still driving a Wrangler Rubicon and I can go where no BEV can, at least for now, without having to worry about my battery level. 😅
The PHEV Jeep is very good. I rented it for 10 days and enjoyed it. Much quieter and smooth than a gas one, with no noticeable drawback off pavement.
This is definitely a great way to introduce people to the joys of driving and EV. Plug-in hybrids are also a better solution for people who only have one car or move somewhere where they can’t fast charge.
I agree. Being near the west coast and not in California, there really aren't many chargers, so it's really not practical to drive an electric vehicle. Hybrids just make the most sense, because you don't have a massive battery pack that battery electric vehicles have, and it gets much better fuel economy than your typical gasoline car, with less emissions than a typical gasoline car, and because there is a fuel tank, it's much easier to fill it up on the fly.
Wife bought a 2022 Sahara
4xe in late December. She still has over a half of tank of gas 6 weeks late + $7500 tax credit⚡️😊👍
Been driving 4xe for about a year. My last visit to gas station was in November. Really love the silent drive, and the Alpine music system in a silent Jeep is really fun. All for one of the cheapest lease deals anyone could get!!
@Crab 450 incl tax per month. Zero down
My Wife has been able to drive her '23 Wrangler Sahara 4xe on all EV with her daily drive to work and back home again, which is about 10 miles, with plenty of range to spare. It's got a fun amount of power and can easily run on gas for the rare extended drive. And battery is in the cabin, under the back seat, so we haven't noticed any impact with range in colder freezing temps - at least in the south.
It's still a Jeep, plenty of wind noise, not the most comfortable vehicle out there, etc. But it's been very solid, no major complaints, zero issues.
Cost of electric components WAY more than gas for several years, not to mention your future repair bills.
@@bartwaggoner2000 8 year Mopar max care warranty was only about $1.2k. Just going to drive it and replace it around the 7 year mark.
@@GotronFerret to each his own, but I miss the days of archivable, buildable Jeeps - this stuff will have to be scrapped after 7 years most likely
@@bartwaggoner2000 Yeah, very possible. Although I hope to see a new market emerge that's able to reuse, rebuild, and recycle these EV components. It already exists for the older and cheaper stuff.
If price comes down and these types of powertrains become more prevalent in different categories I can see myself eventually considering one. Would love to have a good portion of my day to day driving done as an EV while still having the ability to road trip or tow.
I have a 2021 4xE with only 5,500 miles on it and at this moment it has been sitting at the dealership for 3 days with 2 safety recalls. I ask for updates and all they tell me is that it is going as planned, I highly doubt that. The two realls, one is for coolant leak and the other for engine shutdown when you are driving. (which I have not experienced). As far as ownership, hate the vehicle. The engine is extremely noisy, sounds like a lawnmower, cabin noise is horrible above 45mph. Plug in not worth the tax credit, should have gotten the 6 cyl. The 4xe is just a compliance car to please the government requirements. Jeep needs more time to perfect there electrifcation and not put together a piece of junk.
With tax incentives only for higher earners, charging infrastructure reflecting the Wild West, charging ports in random locations on vehicles, and manufacturers trying to play both sides, I'm in no hurry to get involved with the EV craze. Roman, without interrupting anyone, you do a nice job.
the tax incentives only assist you if you have a tax liability at the end of the year. if you are someone who files their withholding forms correctly a tax incentive is no help
This is why I went with Tesla. Supercharging just works and is everywhere. I've been on plenty of road trips with 0 issues.
@@dpav02 actually the new tax incentives are no longer intended for higher earners due to the income cap.
@@hoodieman04filing withholding doesn’t guarantee the absence of tax liability.
@@brittgayle467 i understand that, the point imn trying to make is people buy these treating them like a rebate and not a tax incentive.
Man this is so cool. If Jeep dropped this in the Gladiator I’d trade in my gasser Gladiator in a heartbeat. Your use scenario is exactly why I want one. Electric for my daily, gas for the weekend trips, overlanding and offroading. To me this is what manufacturers should be building now for pick ups and offroaders, not jamming all electric down our throats. For many buyers of these types of vehicles all electric still sucks for our uses.
We knew you were in Waterfall Glen right away when the video started. My wife actually recognized it first while watching with me. Love that place and love running there too. Would have been really cool to see you on the trail. Hopefully it’s not more crowded since you gave it a shoutout! Keep up the great work TFL crew. You’re the best!
My 2021 4xe Rubicon was plagued with issues. Eventually had to sell it b/c they just had no idea how to create a hybrid system that worked. Even the service center said most of the wranglers they had in for repairs were 4xe's. Now I drive a Rivian R1T, and it hasn't been a walk in the park, but certainly better than the 4xe. My biggest surprise was how easy going fully electric actually is!
I like the idea of this, but it is prohibitively expensive. With the average US wage being around 50k, the majority of people can't (comfortably) afford much more than a 25k vehicle.
This seems to be the best version of the wrangler… especially for someone like myself who’s commute is only about 10-12 minutes each way to work… could have an incredible Jeep but never use gas unless you want too…
Amazing work, and keep up great videos!!
My father and I have had a bronco on order from 2021. We recently took our 2005 grand Cherokee to a jeep dealer to look at wranglers and test drove the Willy’s 4xe. We ended up leaving with it! We were surprised how beastly the Willy’s is in person (looks as tall as the Sasquatch for what it’s worth) and we’re impressed with how it drove. Just a side note the led taillights come with a blind spot warning package around 1200-1300. You can buy the taillights from mopar and it’s an easy install if you decide to buy one without them. Also the keyless entry and garage opener are around 700 if you want that as well. It’s really been a lot of fun we are in a hilly area and are getting around 28mpg avg and around 21 gas only mpg. The 2005 grand Cherokee got 10.5 mpg! Around 13 city and 15 highway mpg. & of course you can just run electric for shorter commutes and extend the combined avg mpg.
$110,000 will buy a lesser wrangler ($50k) and a trailer ($5k) to haul a side by side ($15k) and a Seadoo ($15k) and a Corolla $25k) this is how my brain works.
While this Jeep isn't for everyone, it works great for me. I had a 2018 JLU Sport S, lifted with 35's and 6spd manual. I got between 12 and 17 mpg. In 2021, my local Nissan dealer had a killer lease on a Leaf SV with 0 down that actually cost less to own and operate per week than the price of gas to fill up my Jeep every week. So I was net 0 extra out of my pocket. The limited 150 mile range left me only using the BEV for local drives and the one time I took it on a drive over 100 highway miles, the range dropped like a stone (the Leaf isn't an efficient highway cruiser since re-gen doesn't really help if there's no stop and go traffic) and I had to stop at 30% charge since I was afraid I'd run out of electrons. That was the most stressful drive I've had short of a blizzard I drove through. So after a couple of model years, I got a '23 Rubi 4xe and combined the best of both worlds. I charge at home, drive about 12 miles to work, level 1 charge at work and then drive home all on electrons. After 6 weeks of driving, my first tank of gas was still at a little less than half (and that included a 40 mile drive home from the dealer with 0% charge on the battery pack). I was averaging about 36 mpg. My trip to Vegas had me at about 26 mpg, but I never had to worry about charging or stopping to charge. I still get the spontaneity of driving when and where I want to with the option to go EV when I want to. Sure, the tech is still new and the range isn't that great. But as battery tech improves, I'm sure there will be an aftermarket option to swap out the 17kw pack to a more robust one and an option to swap out the onboard charger. Even when the infrastructure improves where BEV's can charge in 5 minutes or less with ultra high voltage chargers and super cap battery packs, legacy BEV's, like current Teslas and Rivians, won't be able to utilize that capability and will still be a slave to the current charging rates. PHEV's in general, not just the Wrangler, are the only option for stress free driving. And that's only for driving in the US. If you ever have to drive north or south of the border, you will have a harder time. Just look at Roman's video of when he drove to Alaska in the Ford Lightning. It made for good viewing, but I'd never take a trip like that in a BEV.
I had an '07 JK Sahara and regularly got over 18 mpg with the V-6. The highest I observed was 21mpg. So I don't see a problem with even more with a hybrid.
The $4K convertible top...totally worth it IMO. That's dope.
I have the 2024 Willy’s 4xe with 10,000 hard miles on it and still love it as day one it’s truly amazing
Last time you did this you said it would make it a mile up the trail. Thank goodness there are other reviewers of this awesome rig
I share your pain when opening the hood, LOL. Rarely open the hood, so have to feel around to find the latch each time. Plus, installed a Mopar hood lock to prevent thieves from stealing my LED lights.
I have a 2021 4xe Rubicon with almost 36k miles and it’s been great!
It must be about twenty years since I read an interview with Lutz where he said we would see 50 mpg SUV's. That was around the time of Bi-Mode Tahoe. He said he , GM, would take on the big hit in CAFE regs. with SUV's.
Lutz said alot of things. He achieved some of them. We'll see of GM actually goes all in on EV like they say they are now...
I drove one of these for my job, 50k with cloth seats. I was blown away.
Thanks for the running tip. Much appreciated.
LPG conversion provided you have adequate network around you or where you go is the best most economical solution. In Europe we have factory vehicles that come with LPG. Renault and Dacia build small hatches and small SUVes with factory dual fuel systems. Fiat (Panda) and other mostly Italian makers as well provide such examples
For a time, the 4xe was the cheapest new Rubicon you could get. With free charging at work, made sense for me.
I loved my 4xe until I had the ZB7 motive power recall completed. I never had any major issues until this recall was issued. Now I never know if the vehicle will start and it throws all sorts of hybrid charging errors. It has been back to the dealership 6 times with no resolve. Now, I’m in the middle of lemon law arbitration to try to rectify the situation since Jeep Cares was so awful at handling the matter. This is my 8th Jeep and not sure I’ll buy another after this whole debacle.
Great that you mentioned that this Wrangler has 2 propulsion systems. I remember when Jeeps were simple to work on, simple to drive with the most complex operation switching the front hubs for four-wheeling. The huge amount of mechanical complexity is what turns Wranglers into 110,000 dollar wallet drainers and makes them quite frankly very unreliable. I cannot imagine how unreliable five or ten years down the road will be these hybrids, and the upkeep costs will eat up any anticipated gas savings!
FACT CHECK: 110% TRUE
Fact check, My 2005 Prius was the most reliable car I ever owned and I had it over ten years. Can’t believe this narrative is still making the rounds.
I've had 2 plug-in prius' and a highlander hybrid 300k mi combined with no reliability issues and even very few brake pads worn out. That said Jeep/Chrysler/Fiat is not Toyota so assuming reliability may not be a sure bet, that also said my Kia EV blows away my Prius and is better in every way and has a 10 yr warranty
@@ZeroFuell I agree with you on all points. I had both the first and second generation Prius with 250,000 miles and 12 years between them with good reliability, especially with the first generation. The jury on Kia still is out, the EV system should be very reliable while the power seats, infotainment, and switches could potentially be issues down the road; but you have that 10 year warranty. And the latest Consumer Reports recommends the EV6. But the Niro, also by Kia has had many electrical gremlins. Even Toyota has had some reliability glitches with my second generation Prius where there was a major recall on the cooling system for the inverter and the dealership repair was poorly done requiring me to have my car towed after I got the red triangle of death warning. It turned out to be a loose cable. I even had problems with the High Intensity Discharge headlights with them failing intermittently, and driving in the mountains I had overheating issues with the battery on a 75 degree day. Jeeps, since the Chrysler takeover in 1986 have had a notorious record for unreliability and Chrysler's Pacifica minivan plug in hybrid actually has the worst reliability record of any vehicle made according to Consumer Reports.
@@craig8638 I am glad that yours was reliable and mine would have been too but for a poorly done by dealership recall repair (not Toyota's fault) and for the premium HID headlights that my top of the line model had. Toyota had so many issues with the HID headlights failing that they switched to LEDs as a more reliable option. The HID headlights were particularly aggravating for the dealer replaced a bulb for 600 dollars and I still had the same frequent intermittent problem with a headlight frequently going off and on by itself.
Maybe they’ll put this in the gladiator with a larger battery pack for added all electric range.
My wife had a plug in hybrid (xDrive45e), we both thought it was the worse of both worlds. Horrible miles per kwh because it's carrying an ICE engine and horrible MPG (if you don't plug in) because your carrying a battery and electric motors, also the best part of an electric car is the rapid quiet acceleration; plug in hybrids are not made for that; they can be fast but the ICE engine kicks in and starts screaming at acceleration. Also, because the electric drive train was so inefficient and the battery size is a third of a full EV she was constantly plugging in to try to get as many electric miles as possible vs a full EV you really need to plug in every few days or overnight. Price of a plug in hybrid is not much better than a full EV. My son has a Maverick (non-plug in hybrid) and we all love that little truck.
How many miles per kwh (and mpg) were you getting with it?
Thanks Roman! Love all you videos. Jeep is cool but moving rapidly upmarket.
Wish we could get the Wrangler 4XE in the UK. We don’t get the pentastar so this would be a good compromise. We are soon to be getting the new Grand Cherokee in 4XE form only no L though.
i just ordered a '23 jeep compass but it wasn't offered in 4xe, if it was it might have cost too much for me to afford, but I would have wanted it.
I was just on a MTB ride at Waterfall Glen. Sorry I missed you.
Love Chicago, got a 4xe in high velocity yellow
Not plugging in a Plug-In is definitely the worst possible choice by any measure
Thank you for mentioning it. Chicago food is great. I've been all over the country, and food is not as good.
wow the enthusiasm is overwhelming. Cheers. Man thats a lot of juice for a little juice
Honestly I'd like to see the entire Jeep lineup , including lower trim wranglers offered in 4xe here in the states. I don't need what the current Rubicon offers and I'm not really into the luxery options in the Sahara. If I got wrangler I'd prefer it to be a Sport or Willys Sport. I like the idea of being able to run back and forth to work or the grocery store on electric, but having gas/standard hybrid for multi hour trips sounds great to me. I just don't need or want the added complexity and cost of things like electronic lockers or giant info screens that I'll never use. My last vehicle in the true off-road world was a ZR2 S10 and I never pushed that to it's limit and currently a Latitude Renegade has gotten me some places I didn't think it could go, so why would I need the last 20 years of off-road advancements? Some nice tires and at least 9 inches of factory clearance will get me a long way considering my off-road use is more about letting me personally do more things than it is about playing with my vehicle. The deeper I can get into the woods, the more hunting and fishing and hiking opportunities open up, you know, that kind of deal.
In this same note, I think a more meaningful Anniversary package for the Rubicon would have been offering it with the 31 inch tires the OG Rubicon's came with and maybe some retro paint options on 2doors. GMs ZR2 line was a direct response to those early Rubicon's, and the reason the ZR2 was only offered on the S10 and S10 Blazer platforms was because a full size like the current Sliverado ZR2 could never compete with the mountain goat nature of those early 2000s Jeeps, which much like "Soft-Roaders" today where more about going around things and picking good lines than crushing objects and critical thought under massive tires. But I suppose that doesn't sell and won't have the same profit margin.
Edit: for some reason Autocorrect decided "Rubicons" would just be possessive rather than plural. I also now realize that 31s would be a direct downgrade over even basic Sport trim wranglers, which should give people an idea of how much the Wrangler has really ballooned in the last 20 years.
you can get a 4xe willys now
@@airgun1974 I didn't realize that, that's good information.
such a great comment, manufacturers want to sell way more truck that you will ever need.
2023 added the Willy’s trim option (which I currently have) and I heard they announced the Sport 4xe for 2024…
Roman.... Which one is best? Portillo's, Buona, or Al's?
why is there no “off road+” button below the sway bar disconnect?
If you're going to buy a jeep, in my opinion this is the one to buy. Best of both worlds. You can go full EV if you want and then take it on trips without all of the charging drama.
My old coworker had an EV car and his argument against hybrids was that when you're just commuting you're carrying around a gas motor system you're not using. To that I say in a daily commute with an EV you're carrying around a bunch of batteries you're not using.
It’s truly sad to see what Jeep has become. I’ve owned 6 wranglers over the years and will never own another one. Jeep has completely forgotten the fan base that got them to this point. You basically have to be rich to own a wrangler these days between the vehicle price and the maintenance issues. Gone are the days where a average person can buy a wrangler and take their families out on adventures.
Great production as always Roman, Very expensive vehicles and no side air bags for protection. For the Rich who can afford an extra toy to play with!
And I am glad that I will buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
Very excited to see what the next-gen of the 8HP brings for PHEVs. Hoping for a PHEV 2500.
Me too, plug-in hybrid RAM trucks and Wagoneers should be good could easily have larger batteries, where larger weight and size are not an issue.
I’ve seen discussion that PHEV pickups make less sense bc it eats too much into the payload.
@@aggiewoodie On the other hand, the payload capacity of pickup trucks made them very well suited for hauling extra batteries for PHEV and utility use! A modular design would be incredible, so that batteries can be added by the owner as required (and over time, given significant cost).
@@garycrum6486 like battery packs mounted in the front of the box as part of a toolbox.
@@sw1mmerdude Yes yes, the main thing is for an electrical interface for such add-ons. Bluetti modular battery packs are certainly setting a good example these days.
Really hoping to see a plug in out of the F-150, and the Bronco
I want a plug in hybrid pick-up when do you think companies will start making them?
F150 Hybrid Ecoboost 3.5.
They did videos on them. It's amazing truck that can power welders, or power your house for a couple days.
There's also the new Tundra iForce max that's a hybrid.
Would love Jeep to offer other more ‘affordable’ no frills Wranglers with front/rear lockers. But that would hurt their most expensive/profitable Wrangler, the Rubicon. The 2.0 liters mechanical sounds are uninspiring….just terrible imo ….this after a test drive.
2019 - 2021 I was spending $5,000 in gas a year, I got my 4xe in November 2021.
2022 I spent $300 in gas for the year, I do a lot of short trips, level 1 and 2 charger is a non issue depending on how you would use a PHEV, not sure why people groan it cannot use fast charging, I cannot see a use for that, especially when fast charging is very expensive, I think only Mitsubishi has a PHEV with fast charging.
As a Chevy Volt owner, I think this falls a little short of the ‘sweet spot’. I get ~40 miles of all electric range and I wish that were even slightly higher. I wish this had 60-100 miles of electric range and then had a smaller gas tank. Since those gas tanks fill up in 2 minutes it’s not nearly as big a deal to have to stop once or twice more on a longer trip, but those extra 40 miles could really make a difference in a bigger city or especially on an off road trail where this will chew through battery.
You bring up Portillos and now I’m hungry. You guys need to work on bringing a Portillos to CO!
Why does TFL keeps holding the button on the Sky One-Touch roof? Just press, release and forget it... 🤣😂😅😃
Front fender for camera? LED headlights and fog lights.
Ok, if you're spending 70k on a PHEV, why not get something that's actually luxury like a BMW or Volvo.
The 20th anniversary wrangler has an air compressor in the back on the door that no other wrangler has
The problem is that they're pricing at pandemic pricing. There is no supply issues except them hiding their inventory in large parking lots as found on many UA-cam videos. I'm sorry, if the design hasn't really changed in many years and their pricing themselves out of business. It's a jeep and your making all the purest spend all their retirement money. Only the 396 is worth may $65k-70k or just build your own. Just a rant too
Argonne National Labs is right there. Beautiful place.
Prices are ridiculous …
Good job on getting the hood open.
My 2012 Chevy Volt has "somewhat" the same design. I get 35-40 miles fully electric then the gas generator kicks in. Seldom use gas....if any. I've said this for years, if car makers designed all their new 200+ mile electrics with this same gas generator - there would never be range anxiety. And BTW, I bought my Volt 7 years ago (not one problem). It had a sticker price of 44k. I bought it used with 22k miles on it for 12.5k.
so in short, its a Outlander PHEV but in a Jeep still love my 2013 PHEV great EV around town awesome on the open road, and i still take it as much off the road as i can
No, it's not an Outlander. It will go places that an Outlander driver will have to get out and walk.
You do have to run on gas periodically to keep the engine from seizing.
Roman, the top is called “one touch” for a reason. You don’t have to hold the button lol. You’ve been holding the button down on these reviews for half a decade now. 😂
I wish Jeep would lighten them up a little bit. Best of both worlds is heavy and takes away some of the gains you what to achieve. Otherwise, Jeep is doing a wonderful job. 🚙⚓
Nice review! What is the TOW rating of this Jeep?
Here, let me google that for you: 3,500lbs
Is the 4xe Jeep like a Chevy volt or more like a rav4 prime?
Have jeep lend you one when it's really cold. Here in Ontario Canada. They will not run when it's _15 c or colder.
details details, it looks cool and has blue paint. you pay now.
40K on my 4xe Sahara I LOVE IT. it really is the best of both worlds.
subbed to you since you are on 99.9k subs :)
02:02 Is this a brand new vehicle? What the heck was that noise when opening the hood?
Missing the Advanced Safety Group and therefore no dynamic cruise control.
91.5 WBEZ Chicago
A brick has a CD of 1.0. This Jeep CD is about the same as a 1982 Lincoln Town Car.
I looked at a 4xE, but it annoyed me that it has a transmission, transfer case, and driveshafts. They should have put a motor on each axle and reduced cost, weight, and complexity, while gaining efficiency and making innovative features like simulated variable gearing mode, 4WD, AWD, and front wheel drive mode available.
you have a lot to learn about this Wrangler
Good combination
My first car when I went to work in 1965 was a Jeep CJ 5 for $2500, about 1/3 of my salary. And talk plain, it was plain.
HAPPY MONDAY ✌️ HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY
This is hands down the best pavement princess vehicle you can buy. These look great in pink driven by a little sweet 16 y/o princess.
Jealous much?
GREAT HOKAs Roman!
I like jeep but the bronco is so great that whenever Ford releases an hybrid version of it, they’re going to eat the market
It's all good Roman, you don't need to one take these things. Use your editors.
Plug ins are way better than full evs in my book, however a light weight version of the wrangler with a turbo 4 on 87 octane would be better and way cheaper!!!
This is exactly what we need more of. If you are really serious about the environment, developing more hybrid vehicles will do far more than full ev’s with the current tech. An engineer from Toyota just did a study showing this. Not to mention this is just far more practical for most. If you could buy a full ev for $20k to have just for commuting and have a 2nd gas car for road trips it would be a different story, but at current pricing most of us can’t afford 2 vehicles. This is the solution. Also- remember a few days ago’s video on the Rivian vampire loss resulting in a 25mpge equivalent? When you factor in the Lithium production for the Rivian this Jeep walks all over Rivian from a true environmental standpoint.
What I really want to know is what is the fuel economy when driving in true hybrid mode? I can only find numbers for all-electric and all-ICE.
About 22 MPG in hybrid mode if battery is depleted.
It's a miss for jeep they shoulda added the pro power assist and it would be the ultimate overland setup with unlimited power.
Stay tuned...
oh boy .... let's spend 60 grand for a Jeep .. I love Portillos too
I was waiting for this
Lets see how the Hurricane Engine performs on its debut for 2024.
It’s cool and all but i can’t afford a 60k Jeep
those turbo motors are not going to last, im all for hybrid vehicles naturally aspirated..
Holy Oil Leak, Batman. Not saying it's the jeep but something spilled.
There are piles of snow on the parking lot edges that are melting and resulting in water running across the parking lot. Is that what you are seeing?
@@MrChadx1 Looks like it, thank you!
Or a sheet of Plywood
Juice is not worth the squeeze in my opinion for most people. Won't get the full torque, smoothness, and performance benefits of a real EV with all the complexity and weight of two drive trains made by Stellantis . Pass. Yeah that's what I want to try and fix on the trail. But what about all the gas you'd save you ask? More than offset by the additional costs of the 4xe models.
So much for small, light, nimble and cheap.
Not really Jeep anymore. Just in name only. People with too much money or not enough sense keep the prices high and the choices questionable.
I'm guessing $80K.
