What is the plug-in hybrid version of the Jeep Wrangler called?

The plug-in hybrid version of the Jeep Wrangler is called the Wrangler 4xe.

Jeep introduced the Wrangler 4xe for the 2021 model year. It combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with electric motors and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Because the battery can be charged from an external power source, the 4xe is a plug-in hybrid rather than merely a mild-hybrid vehicle.

The 4xe retains the Wrangler’s four-wheel-drive capability and trail-focused character while allowing short trips to be completed using electric power. Its system also lets the gasoline engine and electric motors work together when drivers need stronger acceleration or extended range. The battery pack is mounted low in the vehicle to preserve the familiar Wrangler layout.

The name is sometimes confused with eTorque, Jeep’s belted mild-hybrid system. eTorque assists the gasoline engine but does not make that vehicle a plug-in hybrid. “PHEV” describes the technology category; 4xe is Jeep’s model designation for this electrified Wrangler.
