Jeep offers two high-performing versions of its legendary off-road SUV, and they’re the subject of our latest vehicle comparison: the Jeep Wrangler vs. Wrangler 4xe. If you’re shopping for one of these rugged SUVs for sale, you’ll want to know the benefits that come with both the standard Wrangler and the electrified Wrangler 4xe. Let’s have a look.
First up are the powertrains. The 2023 Jeep Wrangler vs. Wrangler 4xe comparison starts with their engines and performance, as these are areas in which the two Jeep SUVs differ substantially.
The iconic Jeep Wrangler SUV comes with a proven powertrain, a 3.6-liter V-6, as standard equipment for the 2023 model year. This legendary V-6 engine generates 260 pound-feet of torque and 285 horsepower, driving all four wheels through an advanced Jeep 4×4 system.
An available 2.0-liter turbo-four engine ups the ante with 295 pound-feet of torque. An Eco-Diesel V-6 engine is also offered, producing 442 pound-feet of torque and 260 horsepower.
Lastly, there’s the Rubicon 392 model and its high-output 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, cranking out a wild 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
How about the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe? This electrified edition of the Wrangler off-road SUV features a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Wrangler’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, providing a limited all-electric driving range and a substantial total range with the gas-electric hybrid system.
With up to 470 pound-feet of torque and 375 horsepower on tap, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe with its PHEV powertrain can certainly hold its own against other variants of the Wrangler SUV lineup. So, which version of this iconic sport-ute will you choose? It’s best to book some Jeep Wrangler test drives to settle that debate.
Jeep Wrangler SUVs aren’t just meant for off-roading. They’re also highly versatile for everyday cargo-hauling and towing.
If you’re shopping for a new Jeep Wrangler or Wrangler 4xe with towing capabilities in mind, you’ll be happy to hear that every version of this legendary new Jeep all-terrain SUV can tow with confidence. In fact, when properly equipped, every edition of the new Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler 4xe can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
