The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4xe is a four-door, five-passenger plug-in hybrid SUV that blends Jeepâs iconic off-road capability with electrified performance and efficiency. Itâs part of the fourth-generation Wrangler (JL) lineup and represents Jeepâs first production plug-in Wrangler.
â¡ Powertrain & Performance
Hybrid Powertrain: Combines a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine with dual electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack. Together they produce about 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque â" one of the most powerful Wranglers available.
Transmission: 8-speed automatic.
Electric-Only Range: Around 21â"22 miles of all-electric driving on a full charge â" enough for many daily errands without using gasoline.
Driving Modes: You can choose Electric (EV), Hybrid, or eSave mode (to preserve battery charge for later).
Acceleration: Quick for a Wrangler â" Jeep claims 0â"60 mph in roughly 6 seconds.
Towing: Up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.
ð£ï¸ Off-Road Capability
The Rubicon 4xe retains the serious off-road gear that distinguishes the Rubicon trim:
Rock-Trac® 4Ã4 system with a 4:1 low-range transfer case.
Electronic front and rear locking differentials and electronic sway-bar disconnect for greater wheel articulation.
Trail Rated® capability with underbody skid plates and rugged tires.
Silent electric torque can assist on technical trails before the gas engine kicks in.
Despite the added hybrid hardware, the off-road capabilities are largely uncompromised relative to non-hybrid Rubicon models.
ðï¸ Interior & Tech
Seating: Comfortable seating for five.
Infotainment: Large Uconnect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Interior Quality: Available leather seats and premium trim (depending on options).
Cargo Space: Around 27.7 cu ft behind the rear seats (battery reduces cargo slightly) and about 67-72 cu ft with seats folded.
Charging: Battery can fully recharge in about 2 hours with a Level 2 charger or ~12 hours on a household outlet.
ð" Efficiency & Daily Driving
Electric-Only Driving: Great for short commutes and errands â" many owners can do much of their local driving with little or no gasoline use.
Combined Fuel Efficiency: When battery is depleted, fuel economy drops to typical SUV levels (~20 mpg combined), similar to non-hybrid Wrangler.
Noise & Ride: The hybrid system adds weight and complexity, and reviewers note that highway noise and steering feel are similar to other Wranglers.
ð' Summary
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4xe is a plug-in hybrid powerhouse that combines:
Robust off-road performance as a Rubicon
Electrified driving for short trips and better efficiency
Strong acceleration and modern tech features
Itâs ideal if you want a Trail Rated® Wrangler that can also run on electric power for everyday use, while still offering serious rugged capability.

It's actually a very nice vehicle. Even with the few hiccups it's a fun car to enjoy. Plus the added electric miles are nice to have
