I thought TFL said the Electric motor was sandwiched between the engine and trans. Idk if that's accurate, but that's what they said in their off-road review of the 4Xe.
I have this exact Jeep Rubicon 4xe and use it as a daily driver. It took me awhile to get used to all the wind noise and turbulence at high speeds. But I have learned to love it. But one thing I will tell anyone getting this as a daily driver with a family. If you have kids and plan to use this for longer trips, I would think twice. While the front seats are pretty comfortable, the back seats are a death trap for adults and a rollercoaster ride for your kids. They will likely complain constantly or get car sick. This a drivers truck and after owning it, I have no idea why the Unlimited Jeeps sell so well because the back seats are truly uncomfortable, especially in the 4xe. Really! if your planning to daily this with kids, get the GC trailhawk instead.
Iv had one since release and love it. If you don't like wind/air while driving do not buy a jeep. It would be pointless. Highly recommend this to someone that had to give up the motorcycle and wants a great daily driver as far as gas mileage in this category of vehicle. I Charge over night and never have to stop at a gas station unless i am going far.
@@michaelcurtis2373 when you buy mopar, you usually don’t. I would recommend a lease on wranglers tho- if they’re aggressive (always a chance for equity)
Ive had my Sahara 4xe soft top since October 21. I love it. Perfect for my 25 mile a day commute. It actually doesn't work as well when I don't use the engine daily in the winter since it can go into FORM mode.
@@Wheelman81 that makes sense. Sounds like your basic engine really. If you don’t drive it far enough to charge the battery, eventually it will just die.
I have the Sahara. 4xe. I know I wont be doing any rock crawling A few weekend overland trips but nothing to hurt my baby :) LOL All is working great. Day trips around the city are easily done all electric. Plug in overnight. Use gas on my occasional out of town trips.Whole Jeep thing started when I decided I wanted a convertible in my retirement. YIPPEEE for the soft tops
Not many people understand to get max power, you have to be in 4wd auto! I drove the 4xe a few months ago and was surprised with the effortless acceleration
not exactly sold on the 4xe for the price and what it offers but i’m also not going to act like i have anywhere near the means to buy it hahah. very excited to see what a fully electric wrangler will look like just a few years down the line
@@peterrivas2064 Ya people don't realize this and just shop based on MSRP. I ran a lease on a 44K sport S the other day. It was only $5 a month cheaper than a 56k 4XE.
@@jjchockey I did the same. I hired a lease broker and am getting a factory ordered rubicon for around 460 a month. Also got 9.25% sticker price with the additional 7500 off.
I’m glad I get a review in the snow also In Michigan as well. I was debating if this vehicle was a good everyday vehicle for Michigan weather. Or at least the winter
I'm getting mine in a few weeks and am super excited. The setup should work really well to power my fridge when I'm off grid, and not use up much fuel to/from work. And lots of off road goodies too. Very fun but also useful vehicle
Hey just wanted to tell you that Plz read everything btw Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ love you so much that God would send his one and only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead 3 days later Get a relationship with God and Jesus and confess for your sins and Live for Christ and not the world and allow God and Jesus into your hearts.

Considering one of these for my wife providing I can get it for MSRP. If I can get it for $56k and sell it for $40k in 3 years with 25k on the clock, AND get a $7500 tax credit, it'll only cost me roughly $9500 + gas/insurance to own it for 36 mos. 9500/36 = $263 month avg payment (plus maybe a set of tires and windshield)
I had my Rubicon 4Xe for a month and I am sorry I got it. Noisey, horrible mpg when not on battery. It's great if you run errands and do not have to drive far, once the battery runs out the engine screams!!!! You are better off with the V6 and not pay the extra $10,000 like I did.
I’m sorry but I disagree. I think it can handle 375hp stock just fine. You just probably haven’t driven a truck or Jeep your entire life. Also, you can’t complain about the interior sound in a big box. It wasn’t meant for on road performance. Although, it does inherently well.
Honestly, not gonna happen any time soon. The electric motor in sandwiched between the torque converter and the transmission. Adding a clutch to that is suicide. lol
...because they charge $70k for this thing and people willingly buy it? Second only to RAM trucks, Jeep is literally what kept FCA alive and will certainly help Stellantis numbers.
The window switches are located on the center stack in case you need to roll the windows up or down while the doors are off. If the switches were on the door you wouldn't have access to the switches when the doors are off.
Good car but very uncomfortable as well. Not good for daily drives compared to many luxuious cars around that price range but I well built a car for sure
I feel like the people who daily wranglers(and don't take them off road) must be someone who has never driven in something more comfortable, and quieter, and cheaper...

Crazy that I could drop off kids to day care, go home and pick up and drop off oldest to school on one charge.
Wow this was a pleasant surprise!

I sell cars for a living u could never go wrong with a wrangler never drop value
I can't wait to get mine I ordered it the last week of September but the dealer told me sometime in January 2022 I should get it lol.
the electric mode does not work when its like -4 or so outside, goes into form mode
read the drivers manual
8:25 isn't this bad for the turbo? Turning off straight away after high load
Yea it can't be good. Ya know I feel like this 2.0 turbo is not gonna last in this thing being beaten up so much, but time will tell
Pretty sure it has an electric oil pump. Can continue pumping oil to the turbo even when it’s off.
I love Jeep! I think I would be more interested when the interior looks a but more futuristic. Still a very nice layout.
Thats Snow,Great Video
The most interesting part about this jeep is it saves your fuel in case of emergency

Actually I think the first 4xe vehicles from Jeep were the Compass and Renegade in Europe. But sadly that’s not available yet in the states.
Was this filmed at Plymouth Township Park? That pond looks very familiar in the beginning
Are you saying the Gladiator drives better than the Jeep?
Great video - - I am going to have to try this one out for my channel
Damn is snowing , it’s like 80 in San Diego

Bought a rubicon and traded it in for an Acura. Hated the bouncing around, noise, and overall crappy ride.

You forgot your sled, you could of went down the hill at Mcclumpha park! Great review btw, the wind noise when in EV mode is something else.
Chris, Speaking of traditional vehicles, I'll wait for the Wrangler 4xe with a manual transmission.

I’m a hugeeeee fan
Of what? Wrangler?
I like how the moves his head to show the back like to show us where the motors are like we can actually see the motors 🤣
How is Jeep still financially solvent?! Close to 70k for this thing?!
...because they charge $70k for this thing and people willingly buy it? Second only to RAM trucks, Jeep is literally what kept FCA alive and will certainly help Stellantis numbers.
$7500 Federal Tax Rebate makes it a little more friendly.
@@zsgarner Isn't that reserved for pure electric?
@@plightn no sir, this vehicle qualifies for the full $7500 rebate.

You could also argue why you would need window switches while the doors are off
@the5Gmartian i was using Jeep logic.
Just me or did that engine sound very loud?
Whats the mpg if you drive it in hybrid mode
only 22 miles per charge??? thats wild
He probably means 220 miles lol
its a hybrid
@@vulxh No, he means 22 miles. Most plug-in hybrids don't get good EV mileage. On a good day, my C-Max Energi gets 20 miles per charge.

Want this all blacked out with the tan seats for a daily. Just being able to drive around for near nothing. I get 10-14 mpg😂 They quick too

This one doesn’t deserve an EV tax break
super driver...😳😳😳😳
I'm not paying 70k for a Jeep fiat product.
55k??, that is too much I just got one for free on the road smh 🤦♂️ get a better deal guys
Want less horsepower, buy a Bronco.
Do a Tesla plaid
Is that a speedmaster on your wrist?
Yes it is. 2021 release, sapphire version. Unless he just bought the bracelet of a 2021 and fitted it on this his old version.
Jeep or bronco
I’m going with jeep
There is a electric motor on the rear? Stop lying. The bigger electric motor is where a torque converter would be.
$69k for a Wrangler? oof.... no thanks
My 2001 Honda Civic can go almost 400 miles on 1 tank of gas why would I consider buying a bigger Prius prime
There is no audience for this type of vehicle
4xe not likely that’s looks like Toyota hybrid vehicle

Once you drain the battery, this gets worst gas mileage then a stock wrangler due to the extra 800lbs of weight.
1100lbs more than a base one did i hear that right?
