Really looking forward to test driving the 4xe grand cherokee when it's released later this year. The tax incentives are very attractive here in California, both federal & state and our electric company gives us a discount. Your wrangler looks awesome in the gray!
Good video, not to crap on any Jeeper you got what you wanted, keep us posted when you use the heated seats and steering wheel in electric-wonder how much energy those will take, and we know that Sahara is pretty good on the road and with twenty inch wheels would not be good when you’re really four wheeling. Enjoy hopefully Jeep gets more charging stations have not seen one in Arizona not practical yet. FYI I have the rubicon and the sound deadening does help, as well as the alpine sound system. Lol
loving the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain after owning a Rubicon 4xe for two months! I recommend that Jeep create a Gladiator 392 4xe, that is, using bed space for large battery in addition to the awesome V8 Hemi engine in the Wrangler 392. Best of both worlds, and hopefully with good high-power auxiliary power outlets like the Ford Pro Power Onboard system. Opportunity for Stellantis/Jeep, perhaps.
Very nice! I was hoping you guys would just get the VW ID4, but the 4xe is sweet. Make sure you get a level 2 charger installed and take advantage of the 30% tax credit for that. Makes recharging and driving mostly in EV very nice.
Great video. How is the gas mileage now that you’ve had it for several weeks. I’m looking to get one early next year, but I need to average around 30mpg to make it cost effective for my driving.
If battery is dead we average about 21mpg. Which is still OK for a wrangler. If you cannot charge everyday and take advantage of driving gas free its not worth it. For us, it was a no brainer. People with even shorter commutes go over a month without filling up.
Now I don’t deny it’s a dope looking ride, which I think is their appeal. That being said, I got a rav4 with Apple car play, remote start, black rims, black emblems, keyless everything, blind spot monitoring, led everything, etc., for 33k. I don’t drive much as I work at home these days but I just can’t fathom spending 55k for something that doesn’t even offer what base entry model cross overs offer. Am I missing something? No disrespect at all, you did a great video showing the Jeep. Edit. I see what you did there with the price breakdown at the end. That makes sense man. Plus you just can’t get around how dope they look. There’s an image of driving a Jeep no other suv can really compare too.
@@dhjengr8756 picking up my '22 Rubicon Ultimate tomorrow actually. There a huge supply shortage so get one off the lot while you can...unless you can wait a few months.
@@cheesun124 I just dropped it off at the dealership to have the recalls addressed, nothing I personally noticed though. Otherwise I really love it. It's been perfect for me in the city and I've taken 2 road trips with the family (averaging about 1100 miles each trip). Aside from these roadtrips I'm getting an average of 47 miles per gallon since most of my driving is within my city and under 25 miles per day. It's been super reliable up to my 7500 mile odo so far. Are you in the market for a new Jeep? I'd definitely recommend the 4xe unless you have long daily commutes.
When running in hybrid mode, does the engine keep the electric motor running so you get full power the whole time? Or does the electric motor lose charge after a certain amount of time?
We have an apartment with a attached 1 car garage. So unfortunately that's not part of the picture. When we buy a home hopefully later this year we plan on it!
We leased with plan to purchase. By leasing you right away get the $7500 tax credit in the form of a rebate. We have a stupid low payment and in 3 years can buy it for around 32K. Not bad for a 57K vehicle.
I own a BMW i3 and no stranger to EV ownership. looked into the 4xe to replace my current Jeep and decided against it for many reasons. There is a users forum where you can learn about it more to help you decide. The concept is cool but once I took a deep dive dive into the vehicles architecture I decided against it. The poor range, choice of ICE with the 2.0T Hurricane engine, and the loss of EV mode to scrub the gas by running the ICE for long periods of time due to contaminated oil with gas were too many negatives. Great concept but at the end the vehicle is not for me. YMMV
Well you want to scrub the gas because its not good for the engine, gaskets, fuel lines, to just sit idle for weeks at a time. You don't want to run 6 month old gas through the vehicle so if its not used for a while it will fire up the engine on occasion just to make sure its running properly. This is just a thing with plug in hybrids.
I feel like Inside is one of the safest places away from the elements where it has higher risk of damage. The bottom of the seat which also covers the battery is lined in metal which adds reassurance for me personally. As for the jeep itself we just hit 20K miles and LOVE it. No issues so far.
Great review. I ordered the same thing. sting gray 3pc hardtop 22 sahara. MSRP 57480. Question I can't find the answer to: On a long trip. if you burn the entire battery out, and then switch over to esave, How many miles does it take before the gas engine/regen charges the battery up for another free 25 miles? Good taste!
Hello, few questions for you. 1) How slow does the car become when an electric motor is dead? 2) Can it always recharge when running in regeneration mode? My only concern is that, jeeps are known to be slow, 4XE and 392 are quick, 392 is not a good lease deal, while 4XE is very good lease deals out there so my only concern if I'm going on a 3-hour trip somewhere, will the battery die in hybrid mode and then become slow AF? thanks!
No its not "slow AF" when battery is dead. Technically the battery never fully depletes and gets below 10%. So if you floor it you will always have some kind of reserve so acceleration stays consistent. It can always recharge the battery in regeneration mode but gas mileage does suffer because the engine is running harder to charge the battery. RPM seems to hover a few hundred higher when its in battery regen mode. We took ours on a 5 hour road trip and it was great, other than the slightly noisy cabin.
I’m about to buy this same jeep with 50,000miles on it extended warranty for another 4 years and 125,000miles for $28,000 so idk about holding the value that much but it looks good to me.
It does charge itself while driving but minimally such as when you're braking or just idling. It does not make sense to get the 4xe if you are not regularly charging. As you are essentially carrying a 600lb dead battery all the time.
Batteries are much better than we thought when the Prius was introduced. I read a recent study that looked at 15 year old cars. The batteries do degrade but about half of the original estimate, 1% per year. The warranty is real good. If you bought a new battery it would be expensive but thanks to the individual cell construction there are shops around that take batteries out of wrecks and can rebuild you battery by replacing the few bad cells with newer ones, I've heard $1500 or so.
I don’t understand how you went from an Atlas to this? It’s like the Anti family vehicle lol I would love to know how many times this lands in the dealer to fix. I get there’s a warranty but Jeep reliability is terrible. I don’t care that it’s covered if I can’t drive it because it’s always getting fixed. Also, electric isn’t free. Curious to know the breakdown of how much in ejected it costs. It’s not $0
@@amentauto3610 Still enjoying the 4xe? I’m hoping towards the end of the year dealers will get desperate to sell their stock and give great deals. Hopefully this will be part of it. Jeep has gotten greedy. 60k+ for a regular new wrangler is mind blowing.
It rides well for a Wrangler, definitely better than what SUV'S were 20 years ago. Not as quiet or as smooth as a new unibody crossover like a Ford escape or Honda CR-V.
@@amentauto3610 does this drive better than a challenger? My challenger is giving me back pains from the aggressive seat bolstering and the impracticality of 15mpg is killing me too.
The only problem I see with this is the 21 miles of range. After 3-4 years with battery degradation you’ll be able to drive 12-13 miles on a charge. While it does have warranty I’d be curious to see what they allow for battery degradation.
We have 43K miles on it now and we havent noticed ANY reduction in range. Most EV batteries seem to only be losing 10%-15% capacity after around 10 years. I am pretty confident after 10 years you would still get 15-17 miles of range. Which is still usable.
We took a 6 hour road trip shortly after taking delivery and it was.. fine. It's not a luxury vehicle and if you're over 65mph the cabin is a bit noisy (but tolerable). Definitely test drive it on highway if you road trip frequently.
It was funny when in heard the vw cross sport replacement, because i recently got a wrangler 4xe and it did replace my vw cross sport which i had only for a month. Getting into the 4xe wasnt by choice as the vw got totalled in an accident but im kind of happy it led me to the 4xe because its a great car and very fun to drive!
Bronco is very cool but bigger (tough on tight trails) and significantly less efficient (gas vs gas is like 3mpg difference). If you're buying for just image the bronco is better daily driver with that independent suspension. If you're actually rock crawling it's hard to not say Jeep.
Isn't the $7500 a tax CREDIT and not a rebate? So if when I go to file my taxes for 2021 and I don't owe anything, I won't see any of that $7500 credit. It's ONLY if you owe taxes right?
@@amentauto3610 Appreciate the reply! I know you are not a tax expert but just a general question. If I am currently getting a very small tax return, could I fill out a new W4 for 2022 and tell them to reduce my tax withholdings $7500 to utilize the credit? No worries if that's above your knowledge! Thanks
I don't see how you went from an Atlas to a wrangler. I've had multiple wranglers, a gladiator, is such poor drive compared to a modern SUV. Wranglers are great vehicles, but you wanted something your family could grow into. I guarantee you'll grow out of it before in it.
@@kdomster9141 Its a fun vehicle, definently a "cool" factor that just simply doesn't exist with a standard crossover. Has been great so far up here in Wisconsin with our terrible winter.
In Wisconsin we ordered through Wilde in Waukesha WI. Contacted 6 dealers before we got one that wasn't trying to mark em up. Deals can be hard in this market but you REALLY have to shop around.
I would potentially argue with the 30 MPG CR-V costing you “more in fuel over the next 10 years” but it’s a different class… However, calling this American through and through when the company is owned by the multinational Stellantis with that thirsty 2.0 liter Fiat engine made in Italy? Not quite…
Totally depends on driving. But we average over 60mpg in ours plugging in everyday. Compared to most SUV's the fuel savings will be significant. Not to mention this has 375HP
It's an American 'brand', built in America, and owned by 'Stellantis' a multinational automotive manufacturing corporation formed in 2021 on the basis of a 50-50 cross-border merger between the Italian-American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the French PSA Group. It is headquartered in Amsterdam.
I have one and the truth is that it should not be considered an electric car, it only drives approximately 20 miles and takes 4 hours to recharge the car feels good but there is nothing electric about it, I do not recommend it
@@amentauto3610 They used to, we'd even get pretty green plates to go along with it. But they shortly cancelled the rebates we'd receive when purchasing electric vehicles. But, the price has nothing to do with it being electric. We always get shafted here with the exchange rates. Especially for options that are more environmentally friendly. You'd think they'd want to make these options more affordable. Just as an example, the eco diesel engine option costs 2-3 x more than it does in the states once you convert from USD to CAD. It might also be because the only trim level they offered with these 4Xe's here in Canada are unlimited Rubicon's. and those to begin with are 50-55k without the hybrid motor. The cheapest 4Xe i saw on a chrystler lot was 65k CAD before any taxes and fee's. the Most i've seen is 75k CAD before. It's just not worth even buying here. You can get Mercedes G Wagons for that price and those are killer off roaders.
@@europeanlegend9347 I just ordered one in Quebec, Sahara 4xe with one touch roof and cold weather package, it came to 56k + taxes, minus 8k of government rebate.
@@pauln3545 oh cool, so I guess the rebate program is still active. I stand corrected. Could have sworn they got rid of that. Either way... 66k after your rebate for a sahara? Nothing wrong with a sahara but a regular Rubicon is cheaper than that. It's still REALLY expensive if you ask me. Electric cars really aren't affordable for the mass majority of people out there. Which is odd considering the goal is to reduce emissions.
@@europeanlegend9347 Yup. We pay way to much for vehicles. I refuse to pay these prices. I haven no idea what I will do when I need to replace my vehicle. They need to bring back rebates for green vehicles. They also need to get pricing down.
How do you feel about seating your kid or kids on top of the battery pack. It’s literally giving off trays into your kids internals. One of the reasons we didn’t get it. Also no rear airbags so might want to put that booster seat in the middle. You ll end up paying $10k in maintenance fee
Leasing is smart if you're smart at leasing. This 56K vehicle could be leased for 380 per month sign and drive. Current market conditions has changed the leasing landscape dramatically though. To be transparent our lease buyout is 37K. After making 36 payments of 380$ per month. After that $7500 tax credit you do the math.
So you save money on gas but electricity isn’t free either. Kinda forgot to add that in? Think that big battery is going to last 10 years too? good luck with that expense..
I don’t think that’s how the tax credits work. If you don’t owe, you not getting anything back. The battery life is 10 years and estimated at 5k in parts and who knows the cost of labor. It’s a nice jeep. I want one. In a year or 2 it’s this or new 4 runner
When we LEASED they gave the $7500 as a rebate. That's why for a couple months these leased for $270 a month (its a 55K vehicle). In 10 years the battery does not HAVE to be replaced, the battery will lose about 25% of its capacity which does not mean it has to be replaced. The electric range in 10 years would simply be 17ish miles vs today's 24.
" you have this door , with some leather and stitching on here....." Dude , are you serious, were in the world did u learn how to review a vechile.Clearly your first jeep. Btw ,they are called Running Boards . Not steps.thank god your not thr salesman,they will never sell any. Great vid!
Many people who have not sat in a wrangler over the past 5 years would be STUNNED to see a jeep wrangler with a leather wrapped door and dashboard. Was unheard of 10 years ago.
real men make sound business decisions, esp in an overinflated market. I challenge you to find a one pay lease for under $14k that isn't a base model Impreza or Corolla, let alone for a 57k vehicle

Do you have to charge it? I mean regular hybrid vehicles you don’t have to charge. The battery recharges it’s self when you are using gas.
You don't have to but there is no point. Because then you're just driving around carrying a 700lb battery that's never in use.
What happens when the battery runs out? You drive around with a 700 lb anchor? How is that fuel efficient?
The gas engine seamlessy fires up and drives like a normal wrangler. Fuel economy on just engine is 20mpg.
Been thinking of buying one, was wondering does the car charge its battery whilst driving or do you need to charge it?
It does charge itself while driving but minimally such as when you're braking or just idling. It does not make sense to get the 4xe if you are not regularly charging. As you are essentially carrying a 600lb dead battery all the time.
I have one. If you use e save mode, the Jeep battery will recharge as you drive.
What’s a roughy monthly cost for this on a 3 year lease with the rebate as the deposit
If the dealer isn't marking up mid 400's is pretty achievable on a sign and drive lease. That's a big if right now though.
How long does the battery last? How much does it cost to replace?
Batteries are much better than we thought when the Prius was introduced. I read a recent study that looked at 15 year old cars.

3 gallons smaller. Total range is 370 miles with full battery charge.
Another fact don't mean to crap all over that car but it was a poor safety rating (69/100) still an amazing car though

Bronco is very cool but bigger (tough on tight trails) and significantly less efficient (gas vs gas is like 3mpg difference). If you're buying for just image the bronco is better daily driver with that independent suspension. If you're actually rock crawling it's hard to not say Jeep.
I would like to know if it has apple CarPlay???
Yes, but it's wired not wireless.
Wow
25 is that it…….gonna have to do jeep engineers
Considering its a brick with a low range transfer case thats pretty good.
Isn't the $7500 a tax CREDIT and not a rebate? So if when I go to file my taxes for 2021 and I don't owe anything, I won't see any of that $7500 credit. It's ONLY if you owe taxes right?
Correct. Except with a lease, on a lease they were applying it as a rebate (at least for a couple months).
@@amentauto3610 Appreciate the reply! I know you are not a tax expert but just a general question. If I am currently getting a very small tax return, could I fill out a new W4 for 2022 and tell them to reduce my tax withholdings $7500 to utilize the credit? No worries if that's above your knowledge! Thanks
I highly doubt its 20 cents to charge your wrangler. That's almost a penny per kwh...
you sound like Cole Sprouse
I don't see how you went from an Atlas to a wrangler. I've had multiple wranglers, a gladiator, is such poor drive compared to a modern SUV. Wranglers are great vehicles, but you wanted something your family could grow into. I guarantee you'll grow out of it before in it.
What you electric bill look like after you plug in a few times .
Our electric bill went up about 30 a month. This of course will vary depending on your location. We are in Wisconsin
8:40
One of the most expensive actually. I paid 85K Canadian for the 4XE Rubicon.
You got ripped off
@@nickgill166 Nope. That's the cost for a 4XE Rubicon. Remember it's Canadian dollars not US.
@tml184 like I said you got ripped off 85k for plastic garbage doesn't even have power seats
SUV??
What color is that??
It's called Sting Gray
I would have bought a 4xe, but it's not available in a 2dr
I'm hoping in a few years they change that!
Get video. Straight to the point.
Total off road vehicle with huge on road penalty ...i would take 2022 CX-5 Select for 27Kusd and also AWD included .
The penalty is not as big as it once was, it's definitely still there though.
@@amentauto3610 it must be a cool off road and snow vehicle....
@@kdomster9141 Its a fun vehicle, definently a "cool" factor that just simply doesn't exist with a standard crossover. Has been great so far up here in Wisconsin with our terrible winter.
What agency did you get it at? I can’t get no deals at all where I live.
In Wisconsin we ordered through Wilde in Waukesha WI. Contacted 6 dealers before we got one that wasn't trying to mark em up. Deals can be hard in this market but you REALLY have to shop around.
@@amentauto3610 thank you
I would potentially argue with the 30 MPG CR-V costing you “more in fuel over the next 10 years” but it’s a different class…
However, calling this American through and through when the company is owned by the multinational Stellantis with that thirsty 2.0 liter Fiat engine made in Italy? Not quite…
Totally depends on driving. But we average over 60mpg in ours plugging in everyday. Compared to most SUV's the fuel savings will be significant. Not to mention this has 375HP
love the jeep hate the blue details
Really?? I love them! To each their own.
When I look at a vehicle the 1st thing I look at is under the hood Why didn't you raise the hood
This is a great point! I actually until right now realized I didn't do that. Will definitely next time!
yes, it is built in America, but it's no longer an "American" vehicle as Jeep is owned by Stellantis.
It's an American 'brand', built in America, and owned by 'Stellantis' a multinational automotive manufacturing corporation formed in 2021 on the basis of a 50-50 cross-border merger between the Italian-American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the French PSA Group. It is headquartered in Amsterdam.
@@devildog5354 The fact remains... it is no longer a "domestic" vehicle.
@@brianaustin1328 Semantics...
I have one and the truth is that it should not be considered an electric car, it only drives approximately 20 miles and takes 4 hours to recharge the car feels good but there is nothing electric about it, I do not recommend it
These 4XE's are damn near 70k here in Canada. actually ridiculous.
Does the Canadian government subsdize electric vehicles like the USA does? 70K is alot.
@@amentauto3610 They used to, we'd even get pretty green plates to go along with it. But they shortly cancelled the rebates we'd receive when purchasing electric vehicles.
But, the price has nothing to do with it being electric. We always get shafted here with the exchange rates. Especially for options that are more environmentally friendly. You'd think they'd want to make these options more affordable. Just as an example, the eco diesel engine option costs 2-3 x more than it does in the states once you convert from USD to CAD. It might also be because the only trim level they offered with these 4Xe's here in Canada are unlimited Rubicon's. and those to begin with are 50-55k without the hybrid motor. The cheapest 4Xe i saw on a chrystler lot was 65k CAD before any taxes and fee's. the Most i've seen is 75k CAD before. It's just not worth even buying here. You can get Mercedes G Wagons for that price and those are killer off roaders.
@@europeanlegend9347 I just ordered one in Quebec, Sahara 4xe with one touch roof and cold weather package, it came to 56k + taxes, minus 8k of government rebate.
@@pauln3545 oh cool, so I guess the rebate program is still active. I stand corrected. Could have sworn they got rid of that.
Either way... 66k after your rebate for a sahara? Nothing wrong with a sahara but a regular Rubicon is cheaper than that. It's still REALLY expensive if you ask me. Electric cars really aren't affordable for the mass majority of people out there. Which is odd considering the goal is to reduce emissions.
@@europeanlegend9347 Yup. We pay way to much for vehicles. I refuse to pay these prices. I haven no idea what I will do when I need to replace my vehicle. They need to bring back rebates for green vehicles. They also need to get pricing down.
How do you feel about seating your kid or kids on top of the battery pack. It’s literally giving off trays into your kids internals. One of the reasons we didn’t get it. Also no rear airbags so might want to put that booster seat in the middle.
You ll end up paying $10k in maintenance fee
Uhhhhhhhhh. Okay.
Pass
Please don’t lease … you will pay twice as much for it trust me . Been there done that .. just go ahead and buy .
Leasing is smart if you're smart at leasing. This 56K vehicle could be leased for 380 per month sign and drive. Current market conditions has changed the leasing landscape dramatically though. To be transparent our lease buyout is 37K. After making 36 payments of 380$ per month. After that $7500 tax credit you do the math.
So you save money on gas but electricity isn’t free either. Kinda forgot to add that in?
Think that big battery is going to last 10 years too? good luck with that expense..
Electric bill has gone up about $15-20 a month. Battery has a 10 year warranty.
@@amentauto3610 I sure wouldn’t be buying it used close to 10 yr mark if that battery is a big expense. Any idea on what the cost is?
I don’t think that’s how the tax credits work. If you don’t owe, you not getting anything back. The battery life is 10 years and estimated at 5k in parts and who knows the cost of labor.
It’s a nice jeep. I want one. In a year or 2 it’s this or new 4 runner
When we LEASED they gave the $7500 as a rebate. That's why for a couple months these leased for $270 a month (its a 55K vehicle). In 10 years the battery does not HAVE to be replaced, the battery will lose about 25% of its capacity which does not mean it has to be replaced. The electric range in 10 years would simply be 17ish miles vs today's 24.
Definitely not one of the cheapest suvs
" you have this door , with some leather and stitching on here....." Dude , are you serious, were in the world did u learn how to review a vechile.Clearly your first jeep. Btw ,they are called Running Boards . Not steps.thank god your not thr salesman,they will never sell any. Great vid!
Many people who have not sat in a wrangler over the past 5 years would be STUNNED to see a jeep wrangler with a leather wrapped door and dashboard. Was unheard of 10 years ago.
so, is that how you convince your wife to buying that 4xe jeep?
The math adds up
"Cheapest" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 these things start at $50K and up
You watch the video?
Всё тоже самое, но по русскому!!!
This is night and day driving experience in comparison to VW Atlas... i mean, Jeep is cooler, but my god, it's horrible to drive.
It's worse but acceptable. The JL wrangler drives pretty well for what it is.
After 80 years jeep still can't build a decent engine or transmission what a damn shame because the vehicles are very beautiful...
Cheapest? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cheapest? It is over $60K after tax.
Watch the video
Oh brother, i thought they yuppie fied the jeep when they made it a four door. This is rediculus. REAL MEN DONT DRIVE ELECTRIC JEEPS
Then buy the 2 door gas version? Options are never a bad thing.
real men make sound business decisions, esp in an overinflated market.
I challenge you to find a one pay lease for under $14k that isn't a base model Impreza or Corolla, let alone for a 57k vehicle
One of the cheapest suvs you can purchase????? A bit misleading
Cheapest? Get real.
It was a year ago. Math added up.
@@amentauto3610 There are SUV's for half the price.
