GOOD LUCK with that mileage. I have a 2023 with 2300 miles and I MIGHT get 25 ACTUAL mpg with charging it every day and driving 26 miles to work. Without charge I was getting 18.3ish MPG. My electric bill charging at home tripled with average charging was $5 ish...a DAY. It takes 2.5 hrs to charge on level 2 and over 12 hours on Level 1 charging. It's super evolved and I have 100% buyers remorse with a 2023 Jeep Rubicon 4XE...I'm super not a lot has changed.
@@hernandez5586 it’s a laundry list of issues. We got it in October of 23 and I got rid of it after 3 months. First, it’s my wife’s truck and she drive round trip 4 miles for her job. The truck goes into FORM (fuel oil refresh mode) 5 times in 3 months and takes around 1.5-2 hours for it to get out of it. You can’t drive in hybrid or full electric when this happens. The infotainment system died after 2 weeks. The blue tooth doesn’t work correctly, the memory seats reset about once a week. The seats also move on their own when the car is off and the front seats will lay all the way down flat on their own. They tried so many “updates” nothing helped and finally when they said it was fixed, I drove it off the dealership lot and the seats moved as I was driving. I turned around and brought it back and I broke the lease that day. I had to pay 6500 because the truck loses so much value that the appraisal for the dealership left that much of a gap…. These dealerships have SO MANY 4xe’s because they suck so hard. I’m so happy it’s out of my driveway. It was also so cheaply made. The inside is all plastic and cheap piano black finishes. For 72K it’s a pile of cheap crap.
I have 2024 Rubicon 4xe, it's horrible with gas mileage I am currently ruining 17.5 per mile %80 highway, I gave up charging everyday ,Also very loud engine. I hope I can trade in it with minimum damage.
Anyone even thinking about purchasing this vehicle needs to understand this fact. The capacity of the battery of this vehicle is 17.3 kWh. To use Michigan as an example if you charge your vehicle during off peak times you’ll pay .16 per kilowatt hour. if you do the math that will cost you $2.76 to completely charge your battery. You’re going to get 22 miles for $2.76. It’s not even worth it to ever charge at a charger, other than your home. The average cost per Google at a charging station is $.45. That means if you charge your Jeep other than your home you’re going to pay $7.78 to go 22 miles.
😮I got a 4xe rubi and I love it. The extra weight from the battery and extra power from the hybrid motor make it the bomb. I bought through a car broker. I got 37s on 20s with mopar 4xe lift for 58k otd.
Same here, and the new (for 2024 model) factory-installed WARN winch is great, as is the new included Power Box auxiliary outlets. The Power Box outlets can output up to 120V * 30A ~ 3600 Watts. May not be integrated as well as Ford Pro Power Onboard outlets, but Power Box is a nice new feature. Keep up the good work, my colleagues at Stellantis/Jeep engineering, it was great working with you in Michigan at your excellent ADAS Highway test facility in Chelsea Michigan!
Yeah just picked up this same model 3 weeks ago. Bummed it came with 33s but not end of the world. When the factory tires wear out, I’ll just put 35s on. Seems like with this trim you don’t need a lift to fit 35s.
Our Rubicon 4xe does not have power seats, and we don't miss them at all. Different priorities for different folks. 17 kWh battery energy capacity is well suited to powering devices such as computers and transceivers for good long periods and at high power levels, even without starting up the gas engine which is always there when you want it.
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.
The 4XE is not worth it if its not under warranty, I work for a Chrysler shop we just replaced a battery under warranty. it cost the dealer $20,000. from Samsung and thats not including labour.. I would imagine once there out of warranty within the next few years the cost might com down. I have a feeling once this shit is out of warranty nobody will want them
Hey buddy, I’m in a confusion . I need to choose between 2023 rubicon 4xe or 2024 rubicon 4xe . I can afford the 2023 4xe 10000 $ less than the 2024 Which will be a good choice?
Huge Jeep fan, own two jeeps currently, but $71k? Is Jeep trying to position themselves as a premium brand? I guess I’ll drive my pentastar 3.6s and continue to burn dinosaur bones
I think you get $7500 back from uncle Sam on a 4xe. However, I just can't justify the price of a Rubicon in general. Really want one, but it seems like they're at least 10-15k overpriced.
Correct you can get up 9k off depends where you buy. You also will get some dealerships trip tryin to add 10k over smh they tried me when I was getting mines
Ben you need to mention the water fording on ur Jeep reviews each Jeep varies fro 30inchs and up its on the tailgate plate in the inside of the tailgate. Always love ur reviews but hate when u don’t ever mention this.
We leased a Rubicon 4xe here in northern Utah, so we'll get the latest and greatest in 2025, worth it in this case of new & interesting electrified vehicles -- Meanwhile the stock Rubicon has been great off road including the tires and sway bar disconnect and all, for example on the Fins & Things trail in Moab. A Starlink satellite antenna mounted on a cargo carrier on the back is a perfect match, for serious Internet connectivity for work wherever you have a good view of the sky, and surprisingly good even in motion with tall trees lining the road such as on mountain roads in Oregon.
Awful purchase. I've had my brand new 4xe for less than a year and 8500 miles. Had to take it to the dealer for a check engine light. They told me it's a transmission problem and that it would take a week to fix. It's now been over two weeks and the most recent update was that they can't get a hold of the parts... No time frame for when I can expect my car back. I do not recommend the 4xe
Yes that is correct 20 miles ! This is a SCAM because they sell it as a Jeep. But this is a cosmically complicated vehicle. With billions of things to break. So if you purchase better have a warranty!!
@@andyavery96 exactly, I broke my wife’s lease after 3 months. This vehicle had so many weird issues. After being in service for the 5th time in 3 months, I just wanted to be out of it.
You will use gas at some point the engine will make that happen for several reasons so please make sure you tell poeple that as you said your friends never use gas ,not happening
Exactly! This truck goes into FORM all the time. My wife drives it and we had complete buyers remorse. This vehicle was more than her Jaguar F Pace and it’s such a pile of trash. We broke the lease after 3 months
Get rid of the lame blue recovery points and virtue signaling "4Xe" markings. For the cost it appears to only be electric because of mandates by government. Not practicality.
@@DJKadilac first of all issues with the stupid screen glitches out second gas on highway is ass Third battery gets you 21 miles till it dies engine is loud for no reason and tbh your better off with a bronco because they’re better at gas and don’t have issues like these jeeps and the battery takes more than a day to fully charge
@@ajvargas834 yes, just broke my wife’s lease! I had so many issues with mine too! Weird electrical issues, 5 times in service within 3 months. I told them to get me out of it. I had to pay 6k to get out because the truck doesn’t hold value at all.

Thanks for sharing. I’d think the Toyota hybrid with no plug in a better solution. But this is a big wrangler not really suitable for hybrid.

@LuisRodriguez-vk2ym the broker got 10% off then 7500 off and that's it.
@CrumResearch I like the 24's nav system much bigger and better than my 8.4.
I agree! I was very close to placing an order for a 4xe but wished they offered the 35in tire package on the Rubicon X version.

Wait til the battery goes out. Fuck those jeeps
Very thorough and detailed video for this model Ben. Very nice and awesome features in this hybrid Wrangler.
How do you like it compared to your 392? How does it compare to the V6 Pentistar or 2L turbo?
Thanks
It is easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled
The wheels and lift/height looks similar to the new 2024 Willys setup, is that right?
What are the changes of the 4xe engine from previous models is it more fuel efficient ? Does it use a true hybrid mode ?
What is your height? As Im watching you drive and the POV is great not sure where your camera is situated.
Great review thanks

Where is this information at?
@@LuisRamos84 his source is: Trust me bro
Yeah, those numbers sound made up to me. No way do they waste all that for a single battery.

I would imagine once there out of warranty within the next few years the cost might com down. I have a feeling once this shit is out of warranty nobody will want them
I'd rather just have the regular non-hybrid version of this vehicle with the V6 engine.
NO STANDARD 35 ON 4XE - It is already difficult to get into this Jeep, if 35 is available on the 4xe it should be an option. 👀
Hey buddy, I’m in a confusion .
I need to choose between 2023 rubicon 4xe or 2024 rubicon 4xe .
I can afford the 2023 4xe 10000 $ less than the 2024
Which will be a good choice?
I would wait till jan, feb 2024 and get the 2024 model with same discounts offered on them.
I'd get the 2024, a lot of upgrades including side curtain airbags, larger display, stop and go cruise control with crash mitigation, etc
That gauge cluster is infinitely better than bronco.
Huge Jeep fan, own two jeeps currently, but $71k? Is Jeep trying to position themselves as a premium brand? I guess I’ll drive my pentastar 3.6s and continue to burn dinosaur bones
It satisfies government mandates and that's why Jeep is doing it. Not because it's so great.
That new Jeep was amazing and electric.
I like jeeps yet I also like economical!
I agree, 35" all-terrain tires from the factory (Jeep) would be Super. 💯 %

I had no idea there were vehicles that you put gas in and electric that you had to plug in together. I thought it was one or the other

I don't understand why they didn't incorporate the EcoDiesel in with a Hybrid System. This sort of MPG is just ignorant.

So why can’t they do the 4xe with the gladiator ?
