- Here it is! My brand new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe!! I'm as shocked as some of you, that I chose a plug-in hybrid Jeep as my next vehicle... but desperate times call for desperate measures!! These Wrangler 4xe's happen to be one of the most aggressive deals out there right now -- especially when you factor in their steep price tag and exceptional value retention.
For those of you who aren't aware, Wrangler's rank among the very best brand new vehicles in residual values. This 4xe gets the benefit of also qualifying for a $7500 federal EV incentive (that you get whether you buy or lease!!)
The lengthy video here explains some of my favorite aspects of the 4xe, at least in my roughly 800 miles of ownership thus far... but I'm certain more exciting Jeep content is ahead with MY Jeep !!

What kind of mods/content do you wanna see with the 4xe moving forward??
Picnic content 🙌
I wanna see it on some easy trails! Also bigger tires would look insane

This is one of those gems that deserves more views. This review will help a lot of people looking at this model. You covered everything. Clear and articulate.
Thanks!
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks 😎👍
Great video. Love the way you spec'd this one out. Color is cool.
Great video! Thanks for the review!
Thank you!! 😎👍
Excellent owners review. well done!
Appreciate the kind words!
Great owner review. Great information. Thank you. Considering this vehicle.
Really appreciate that! It's a steal in the current messed up market!
@@Reoniz Yes. Found amazing lease deal through a broker. It’s worth having it shipped vs buying in SoCal. Dealers I went to here want $10K+ over.
@@TCinSoCal that's exactly what I did... out of state through a broker... was worth every single penny! I still came out thousands ahead
I'm a service advisor and Gorrila glass breaks make me a lot of money.
There's gonna be a video coming out soon on this very matter 😅😅 smh
Nice video! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you!
Once the government gave the 7500 rebate, jeep just raised the price 10k. Dealerships are greedy but they are above to get thier butt spanked
Cv joints are on Jeep’s equipped with 4 auto application so you won’t get the binding when in 4 wheel drive turning on drive pavement for example, cv joints also handle more torque load at higher angles. U joints are slightly stronger at 0 degrees but that’s debatable depending on design and application.
Ya I noticed it's on all the 4 auto's (and maybe the XR, if I'm correct) but thank you for explaining the the difference in applied application
Thanks for the review, and love your facial expression when you stepped on the gas! Recently ordered a Sahara 4xe and was planning on paying cash, but I'm intrigued with the lease option utilizing the tax credit. (Also I live in Ventura County, so recognize everywhere you were. Look for a "Sting Grey" 4xe giving you the Jeep wave on Mulholland!)
Thank you and I'll keep my eyes peeled!
If you're able to pay cash, you still stand to receive the $7500 as a tax rebate for the calendar year that you took delivery of the vehicle... so I'm assuming for you that would be your 2022 taxes!
I just like that Chrysler Capital will extend the $7500 to you right off the bat as cap cost reduction on your lease thru them and make the overall cost of leasing one of these quite appealing/affordable -- especially in a market full of terrible 'deals'
@@Reoniz I'm intrigued and will run it past my money guy ;) Enjoy that rig!
Tax Credit is a scam which they don't give off the price of the car. We fell for it and it didn't work out that way. When you lease it, you get two options, you either lease with Chrysler or a Bank. If you lease with Chrysler you pay high % rate If you lease with Bank you pay much lower but no incentives.
@@billhart thank you! Good luck getting yours soon as well 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@funplaymix7710 do you mean when purchasing? That's why I leased with CCAP and got my $7500 up front as a cap cost reduction!
"I kinda", "like", "uhhh"... Cool review!!!
Good review, and congrats for your 4xe ! I think it's great that Jeep did this trim, although I think I will probably go for a traditional gasoline-fueled Wrangler, if I do ever get one. Luckily, here in Oklahoma we have gas prices that are sub $3/gallon 😁
Appreciate it! I would probably still go for a gas Wrangler (especially if buying) but couldn't pass up this insane deal 🤠
@@Reoniz I get it. Nice color btw! Really looks nice with the electric-blue branding of the 4xe !
@@Simku I agree, thank you! I specifically picked the grey because of that
I’ve had sports cars that were convertibles and I always thought the wind was excessive, and I never really liked it. My Wrangler isn’t nearly as bad as far as the wind is concerned, you can also roll around with windows down and you don’t get the buffeting you get in a normal car. Something tells me that it has to do with the aerodynamics.
Let's just say I'm enjoying the Sky One Touch more than being annoyed by the sound 😅👍
Great info, thank you. Do the brake lights come on when you let off the accelerator with Max Regen mode enabled?
Thank you, and yes they do! I personally only run the regen while going dope steeper roads and highways
Informative honest video. I’ve just started researching the 4Xe and have been considering getting one. Drive a 2019 GMC Sierra Denali so it would be weird going from a truck to a jeep. Do you still like the 4xe 5 months after making this video?
Thank you! And yes I do, it's still an enjoyable machine to daily and something very versatile/utilitarian, which is a plus!
Nice review man! I am also coming from a 4 series GC and looking into a jeep with 4xe cause I think it suits me and makes a lot of sense. Question - how did you feel about sacrificing the luxury and amenties of the bimmer going into a jeep which as less perks, like manual seats, manual tail gate, road noise in cabin, etc..?
Honestly I don't miss any luxury amenities and actually prefer the simplicities of things like manual seats... although the road noise is frustrating especially with the sky-one touch haha!
Overall, the only thing I really miss from my 340i is the sporty driving experience
We just got one too but in white minus the steel bumper. Its a dope ass car no doubt
Sounds like a sweet spec! Steel bumpers are a bit superfluous... at least for my use case, but I couldn't resist. Hope you're enjoying your Wrangler 😎👍
@@Reoniz It is unnecessary but you can’t say it doesn’t complete the look. Just like those big tires complete the look of the car. Those little touches are key. To me If I really wanted to I could have gotten a Chinese replica off Amazon but it’s a lease and it would be a total waste of money but it would look better( not significantly better) because even the plastic bumper looks almost identical minus the rivets.
@@funplaymix7710 that's true... the plastic bumpers grew on me, but I had already ordered the truck!! I also really want 35's, but it's exactly what you said -- better, but how much?
I want to buy one, but I need a very important question answered. Is it possible to put the vehicle in neutral gear in EV mode (so the gas engine isnt running) and put a 60lb weight on the drivers seat and have the AC or heater on all night without the engine coming on to charge, assuming the battery is fully charged?
Hey, I’m considering leasing the Sahara version of the 4XE. I have positive equity on my current lease. If you don’t mind could you describe the process? I was told since the car would have to be ordered my trade-ins value would be adjusted based on the delivery. Also, I was told incentives and final MSRP can change upon delivery.
I can absolutely explain, shoot me a DM on Instagram @reonizz and I'll break down my experience!
Do you feel a Sahara Altitude package will run quieter compared to the Rubicon, Is there a reason why you chose a Rubicon? Also, I'm looking at buying Sahara Altitude package as I'm mostly hitting the tarmac. Anyone, thoughts?
dream car
🤠🤠 cleaaan
I regret ordering the safety stuff. I thought it was on the level with Fords(360 sensing), but it's not. It's mostly just for backing up and like you say, the camera tells you all you need to know. And now I have all these sensors to worry about going bad and/or getting hit. Also, while I like adaptive cruise, I think I'd have rather had a little extra sky peeking through the windshield. You live and learn, I guess.
Haha!! Man, 2 peas in a pod! Even though I didn't get any of it, these were my exact thoughts/justifications for abstaining 😅
Still can't hurt to have blind spot and ACC from time to time 🤷🏻♂️👍👍
I totally agree. Ordered my 2023 Wrangler Sahara 4xe without the safety package and with just regular cruise control. Did get the front trail camera so I have that forward view for parking in tight spaces or for off-road use.
I’d like to know more about the $7500 federal incentive. What exactly does that mean? I’ve never financed or leased a car or Jeep in my name and I’m looking to here in the near future. But a Jeep is what I want.
So this is essentially a free down payment on a lease, or a tax rebate on your annual income (provided you have over $7500 in taxes)
By leasing, you're getting a lower monthly payment with this incentive, which makes leasing a 4xe rubicon less than leasing a non 4xe Willys (even though it costs around $20k less than the 4xe Rubi!)
how long did it take to receive once you placed the order, and no additional markup once you picked up from the dealer?
It took about 2 months to the day from order to delivery... only about 6 weeks for the truck to be built though!
And no... I actually got quite a bit of a discount! That's a major factor of why I chose a 4xe
Dope ass car
Thank you!! 🥰❤️🔥
Does that tax credit affect the lease end value too? Say it’s 60k minus the 7500, does that mean the lease end value is 52500 minus depreciation and other fees?
Yes that's exactly right! It does indeed affect the residual value... it's treated as a true cap cost reduction!
I already own a 4xe rubicon, why did I watch this entire video? Haha
Idk but you're a beast 😎😂
I love my 4xe, I’ve had it a few months now, but after a long trip, I realize it’s too early for it’s time. Hardly any charging stations, at home it’s 14 hours to 110v charge and $1800 for a 240v to be installed. Any big city chargers cost .43cents a minute to charge, so that’s $68 bucks for 25 miles of driving? Not worth it. Maybe in the future, but too soon. IMO not worth the $65,000 price tag.
I totally understand where you're coming from... my use case is a bit different though. I primarily got it for the smoking deal ($7,500 Federal Incentive) but I already had a 240 at my house, cost $600 of which 90% was rebated by DWP. I'm able to charge for cents on the dollar (no perceivable difference in my electricity bill) and drive around near me without burning fuel.
I've never charged at a public charger Bc I agree with you that they're far too expensive for a vehicle that I can simply put fuel in.
TLDR: I charge at home for little $ and simply use gas when traveling longer distances. All worth the massive savings I got for this being a PHEV (enjoy your Wrangler!)
@@Reoniz I just discovered the 7500 deal yesterday. I am leasing a Rubicon 4xe this week. I also have the employee discount through my brother. Combining those deals dude my lease is around $400 a month 0 down. I also already have a 240 in my garage. Round trip to work is only 16 miles. I’m most excited about the acceleration and having the most bad ass Rubicon.
@@alschbachb excited for you! That's a sweet 2 car solution... but this is the 2nd most badass, first is a 392 Xtreme Recon 🤤🤤
Charging stations are mostly a waste of time for a 4xe, though, unless they just happen to be wherever you park for a bit. Sit for a 2 hour charge to get 25 electric miles on a long trip? Now, if your work place has chargers and you have a long commute, that's one thing. But waiting to charge like you would an EV seems like a waste of time. Chargers on off road trails would be sweet, though. Either way, it sounds like you might not understand how the system works if you think keeping that battery fully charged at all times is that essential. Even at 0%, this is still a hybrid vehicle. It still floats through 25mph side streets with little to no engine assist, and still gives you 470 tq when you stomp the pedal down.
Yep the infrastructure in the US has to be robust to support the new proposed EV craze being pushed by the Gov and auto manufacturers. Many charging stations are no longer free, and the wait to charge on the road-can be 1 hour, this was not an issue a few years ago, I'm going to wait another year to see how the fully EV wrangler develops as charging once a week vs everyday is better for me. hope your 4xe turns out to be a good vehicle for you...
With the lease would you get the 7500 tax credit ?? im about to lease the rubicon and the only set back is the tax credit.
Yes you do!!
Nice video What are the payments? I always lease from a broker in LA
Thank you! Shoot me a DM on insta @reonizz
can you please educate me on this wrangler 4xe because i wanted to get one, i was looking at 49mpge does it means can get about 800 miles with full tank of gas?
If you mean in one go... then certainly not! You'd get about 300 miles of highway out of the ICE engine, and then an additional 20 miles of electric.
If you drive short distances however (
Do you still like it?
This thing would be so sick if the cabin noise was lessened. I had a gladiator as a rental while my car was in the shop, and the cabin noise was freaking AWFUL.
Ya this has even worse noise Bc of the sky one-touch... but a hardtop with headliner and some additional noise dampening which is available aftermarket would really enhance things
What kind of real world mpg are you getting? Any reliability issues?
Ya know I just did a long road trip and at high speeds (using purely gas for 99% of the trip) it dipped into the mid teens... but around town and with regular charging, I easily see well over 25 combined!!
And I reliability issues thus far 🤞🤞🤞
2:49 HOKAYYY WRANGLERRRR
Hahaha time stamp 😅
Leased ok How much was used as down payment? What’s the monthly?

@@Reoniz Hey man, what is the color? Maybe I missed it on the video.. is it Granite Crystal?
@@Zeemod this is Sting-grey!!
@@Reoniz looks nice!
@@Zeemod thanks! It's one of my favorite Jeep colors!
Im planning to pick up one in a week 🤗
Very exciting!
Yes Black One with the One Touch Roof 🤗.. Anyway Im planning to get thr Mopar 2inch lift and my question is.. Can I do 37inch Tires Nitto Grappler with Kmc Blue/Black Wheels in 20inch? pls advice🙏🏼
@@gspotlight04 I'm not an expert, but that should be doable! I run 35" KO2's with no lift at all!
@@Reoniz Im thinking might as well get the 37s since Im gonna get the mopar liftkit 2inch and I saw this Rubicon it has 37s with the 20s look super sick🔥.. If I dont lift then ill go 35s and the 17s just looks too small. I had that setup on my jk before and I was like nexttime I wanna get bigger wheels lol
@@gspotlight04 if you're doing a lift, then 37's are a must!!
I’m actually mad surprised you got a Jeep Wrangler!
Hahaha me too 😅 crazy conditions require crazy moves!
@@Reoniz Is the Jeep your only vehicle? What is your MPG on it?
@@chocolatewheelchair it sure is! And I'm getting about 26 mpg rn... have driven just over 1,000 miles so far, of which 600ish have been on Electric and the remainder of which have been on gas!
Use to own a rubicon. But now I do way too much highway traveling and being older, So it’s not an option.
I do want one
Well I will say the JL in general is a far better highway cruiser than any Jeep before (not necessarily 'good' but 'better')
And this 4xe, largely due to the added weight, is an even further step in the right direction!
this. is. video. time!!!!
😤😤 Jeep time 🤪🤪
Is that paint Sting Gray or Granite?
Sting gray!!

1:42 You're supposed to take it OFF-road
Haha fair point!
So to me in the order of what looks the dopest: 1. 2022 Range Rover Defender 2. Bronco 3. Jeep Rubicon (if money wasnt an issue)
I see where you're coming from and I don't entirely disagree... what I will say is that money played a significant role for me, and this Rubicon 4xe was BY FAR more affordable than the other two vehicles in current market conditions
You lost me at launching a jeep wrangler Rubicon
You lost me at not wanting to see a Rubicon do 0-60 in 6 seconds
