![2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe - EV Range & Highway MPG Test [Unlimited, Rubicon]](/img/n.gif)
Picked one up last night and your video is helping me understand what I just purchased! The tax credit information at the end was an added plus! Thank you!!
Congrats!!!
There was another gentleman on TH-cam who had two level 2's installed and he found out something interesting. IF you do NOT tell the electrician that you want a plug for an EV but lets say a dryer or even an air compressor. The cost will be vastly cheaper. He got one to install it under the guise of a dryer outlet which has the same wattage as level 2 outlet for EVs for $250 vs what electricians charge for an EV outlet of over $1K. And Yes, its the same exact thing!
I would believe that 💯 Everyone is looking to make more money! The cheapest option is to have a husband that can do it ;)
I agree with your review…
My Wrangler 4xe is a 2021 Sahara JL Unlimited model.
I have a 60 mile, round trip daily work commute. I charge at home and at work on a level 2 charger. I go about 75% of my commute on electric power. Since I do use the gas engine some of the way on my commute, my MPG is only about 50. I love it.
My employer lets me plug in and use the company electricity.
If I religiously keep to this schedule I normally get about 3 weeks of commuting out of a tank of gas. And that is fantastic.
This vehicle saves me a lot of $$$ and since it’s a Jeep it’s gonna be around a long time…
Great job on the video and your commentary.
Hey Matt, it’s been a year plus since you posted, still enjoying the jeep and are you still getting the same length out of a tank of gas?
@@Blues7412I was going to ask the same thing!
Such a great and practical review, thank you!
Awesome review. Your video caught the acceleration well. Thanks for explaining the button options. You are smart and fun.
Thanks, Jon! I actually had a lot of fun making this video (and driving fast!)
That was an amazing review ! I really enjoyed your clarity and explanations ! Thanks for doing this video
So glad you found it helpful!!!
This was very helpful thank you!
this is the review I needed to explain the 4xe to my friends. Thanks. Subscribed
Thanks, Jorge!
Very informative. Thank you!
Thank you for this great review, Fadra. I'm really contemplating purchasing this vehicle and your review made it easier to decide. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Such an amazing review. This really helped my decision on getting one. Thanks
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this amazing review, this has truly inspired my next purchase.
Hope you enjoy it!
Good information, thanks.
Thank you for the good information.
Thank you very much for this video. I have a Tesla Model 3 and I love it! However, I’ve always wanted this particular Jeep. Now, that there’s a hybrid version, I’m even more interested. Great video!
This is a great real-world and practical review.
The best explanation in a very simple and beautiful way...the best explanation about the car..Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!
Best part of this review was the jokes honestly dad jokes are amazing 😂 please please please keep them coming! Also another great review!
Oh don’t worry. There’s plenty more where that came from!
That thing is awesome
Excellent content 👏
Love the details Fedra!! cant wait to get my jeeep!!
Hope you love it!!
Excellent review. I send you regards from Mexico City.
Buenos días! Thanks for stopping by!
Awe this is a great video. I have a 2014 jk that I love but my next move will be 4xe. I loved how you explained stuff. We love Jeep girlies. 💪🏽✨
Hope you get the 4xe. Just did a quick review of the Jeep Grand Cherokee with the same engine and it doesn’t disappoint!
Amazing review. Literally sold it for me
Hope you enjoy it!
Easy to listen to. Good to hear your perspective. Most Jeep videos are by Jeep enthusiasts. Great review
Thanks for watching!
Sharp looking Jeep!!
It's the drive for me!
Great video. Very well done. Much appreciated. New Rubicon 4xe owner.
Good choice!
Love Your Car Videos love from South Africa❤
Heita! (I have no idea if that's an accurate greeting but thanks for watching!)
Finally a jeep that reconnect with me, I’m about to save every dime for this piece
It’s an amazing Jeep. Great performance! ⚡️
Great video. So badly want to get one.
Thanks is a superb video. You nailed on many great details. Curious to know your or your husband’s feedback before I purchase a 2021 Wrangler 4xe Rubicon plug-in hybrid. Looking forward to more Jeep reviews. I’m smiling while viewing this video.
Glad you enjoyed it! We're both big fans of the plug-in hybrid. It's the best of both worlds. And with the Jeep, you still get off road capability and on road efficiency.
Awesome review. Thank you for being so clear in explaining how the Jeep works. I hope get one soon. I’m wondering how the mileage will be effected if I put 35’s on it. The Sahara 4xe is my choice of jeeps, given I don’t really go off-road. Light trails at best is my plan.
I have the Willy’s 2024 comes with larger tires and I went 110 miles total between electric and gas on a quarter of a tank and I know I could have pushed it more because the gas light never came on and it does have a light but I’ve never seen it since new lol
Nice job. I just mine this week and so far I love it! Thanks for the information. What are the mods you suggest doing first?
an update on if youre still loving it almost a year in? pros, cons?
This is a fantastic review; exactly what I needed to fully understand what the hell I just bought. I just picked up a 2021 4xe that looks exactly like yours (except I have the black hard top) with 40,000 miles for $37k. I bought it primarily to tow my fishing boat.
Enjoy! It’s a fast and fun ride.
I wish there really was a "fancypants" button. Thanks for the vid!
Im looking at a 2022 4xe sarah unlimited, love the Chanel.
Thank you so much for the review! I watched other videos about the 4xe works I was a bit confused about how the jeep runs depending on which mode is on (mileage, acceleration, speed, etc), and how the max regeneration works. You made it easy to understand! Former jeep wrangler owner here. I miss having a jeep sooo much! I want to buy the 4xe. My job is about 12 miles from home so the electric mode will definitely come in handy! Especially with gas prices right now.
Great and well thought out review. Love the acceleration demos. And we can do that again, since we can recover nearly all that kinetic energy. I have had my 4xE for a month. Seventh Jeep, who is counting? Yeah the fastest I ever drove. I suspect the 396 might be faster and way cooler sounding, while being significantly less practical and way more expensive overall. The 4xE is like having a V8 when you want it. I never thought I would ever buy a PHEV. Owning this changed my mind, and even my " I would never drive a jeep" wife, refers to it as our Jeep.
Great review thanks, I only wish you talked more about interior dimensions and comfort since I have a little baby.
I normally do talk about those things but this review was a little different since I focused more on the technology. As a smaller woman, I’ve never found the Jeep Wrangler to be my favorite vehicle in terms of comfort and fit. I think it can be awkward to get in and out of and couldn’t imagine having to do that with a baby. But then again, everyone is different!
Using the three buttons to choose hybrid, electric or e-save is cool but this car is always a hybrid. You are selecting a bias towards whichever button you push. For example if you are in electric and accelerate a lot the gas engine will come on for a few seconds. It will also come on at about 60 mhp/100kph.
Great Video! Nice to have a woman’s perspective also. You made it very clear to understand. I’m looking to purchase this week 😍✨
Glad it was helpful!
I so want one so bad!!!! Love the interiors, love the power output… the price not that much… but probably will bite that bullet soon
Nice video, but why are you running your A/C when you have the Freedom top off?
also if you keep it in 4H AUTO it will give you max acceleration and it will handle extremely well! it come standard in 2h auto but i keep it in 4H auto all the time and feel the diffe
Does it affect your gas mileage? Although I suspect that’s not a concern if you’re in it for performance!
@@Allthingsfadra like by a tiny bit, but not enough to make a drastic difference, trust me , I learned this buy watching the guy Brandon Haylie here on TH-cam, he's like a jeep 4xe guru, check him out
Great and honest review Frada, but there's only one thing that I don't agree and is when you said "This is the fastest Jeep" Did you ever see or test the Rubicon 392 ?? 😬
Own one love it it’s truly fun and amazing I have 2024 Willy’s. My only issue was the level 1 charger tasteless on Jeep’s behalf however I bought a $170 level 2 from the Home Depot website and it’s never took over 2 hours to fully charge. I never really use hybrid only electric and e save e save on the freeway because it charges the battery
I'm in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and strongly looking at purchasing a 2022 Jeep 4xe
I just picked up a 2022 Jeep Rubicon 4xe last week.
Hi, sorry if this was asked already or maybe I missed it. I'm curious how long the battery pack is expected to last and the replacement cost? Thanks!
Great question and one that people don’t talk about enough. It’s tough to say as it depends on how you use the battery (just like with your phone battery). But most manufacturers will warranty them for 8 years and 100,000 miles. Estimates for replacement cost are between $2000 and $10,000. Definitely not a perfect solution!
Would love to try one of these out if they weren’t 2x the cost of the one I bought off the lot…we gotta work on the plug in vehicle cost.
Totally agree. But at least remember that plug-in hybrids typically qualify for the federal tax credit, which isn’t the case for a standard hybrid vehicle.
I'm waiting for the full EV version. Hurry up Jeep
I'm a proud jeep owner. I've read lots of issues with 4xE going dead. Range isn't great, I'm staying with gas.
It really isn't plus gas feels more powerful.. I will be trading back my Rubicon 4xe asap!
Would you say it’s worth the 50-60k price tag? I’m currently reviewing my options but it’s such a hefty price.
That's a really tough question. It is a hefty price tag. It's a little easier to swallow if you can get any tax credits. But the biggest thing that I know about Jeeps are that they do hold their value over time. We had a Rubicon for a few years and sold it for the same amount we paid for it.
Thank you Madam for information,very nice and I like it but I am from Nepal !!
It’s a great car but I am assuming they don’t have anything like that in Nepal. Also, so cool that you’re watching me from the other side of the world!
I never get why wranglers have the window switches on the center console. "Oh that's in case you get your doors off" Do I need a window switch with the doors removed??
Former Jeep owner. Currently drive a Mustang Mach e. Looking at the 4xe since I don’t have the 125+ miles a day commute anymore. I’m still a little skeptical about the 4xe though
If I can help with any of your questions, let me know. It is a plug-in hybrid, not all electric so there are definitely differences.
@@Allthingsfadra thank you for the reply. We own a Lincoln Aviator hybrid electric and we love it. I got the Mach e because of the insane commute I had. But I’m ready for the 4xe since I work from home and I just love Jeep.
So if you are in Electric mode, then you step on the gas, no matter how fast you are, it will always stay in EV mode? Or will the gas engine kick in when it hits a certain speed?
It is not speed dependent at all. You could go 90mph in all electric. But once the electric battery starts to deplete, it will switch to hybrid mode. It will always maintain some sort of battery charge so you’re never in all gas mode unless you choose to be.
It takes more than 12hrs on a level I charger. More like between 16 - 17 hrs.
I must be in a time warp these vehicle prices are outrageous!
Good review. I own a 2021 Wrangler 4xe and love it. I would add that you can configure the max regen in E-save mode to charge the battery while driving like most hybrids. you will use more gas but it will charge the battery. Not a lot tho.
Um, it would have been handy if you had shown how to get into e-save. I got this as a rental, and I’m trying to understand the vehicle quickly.
Can I drive on esave until I’m ready to use the battery ?
Yes you can! I drive my own plug-in hybrid and just use electric mode around town. If the electric battery gets depleted, it will automatically switch to hybrid mode.
does the battery re-charge while you are on gas?
There really isn’t a point to doing this. Ideally you want to get home with a depleted battery and charge from your house, rather than charging from your much more expensive gas tank.
You can select that option but it is really inefficient
Break down of 4xe charge costs assuming .08 per kwh ....Jeep takes 15kwh to fully charge ( even tho its a 17kwh bat) ....08x15+ 1.20 per charge....24miles average per charge. So it costs 1.20 to go 24miles......gas equivalent is 3.25 per 24miles in a jeep.
That’s a really great way of looking at it. Although we have solar panels on our roof and typically don’t pay for electricity! Thanks for sharing your calculations!
@@Allthingsfadra Yes, and this is rarely talked about when people review EV’s or PHev’s. If you add an EV or PHEV to your household, your payback for your solar panel systems is even faster. My payback ended up being 3.5 years on my solar panel system, I have an EV and PHEV,.
Just took delivery of my new Rubicon 4xe, I have owned several Ev's before and traded in my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace for the Jeep. I wanted a Jeep but did not want to pay additional insurance/license fees and wash and maintain 3 vehicles. The 4xe gives me a EV for around town and the Jeep for off road use, all in one package. So far in 118 miles of driving I have used less then 1/2 gallon of gas around town, love driving it as my daily driver. It took 7 months to the day from when I ordered it, dealer honored my originally MSRP. The MSRP has gone up around $2500 for the one I ordered.
Congrats on your Rubicon but surprised to hear you traded in your I-Pace. Wasn’t there something you didn’t like about it?
@@Allthingsfadra I loved my I-Pace, but wanted a Jeep, but did not want to add a third vehicle to wash/maintain/pay license fees/insurance on. The Jaguar I-Pace was the best car I ever owned, their service is great. I feel much more relaxed driving the Jeep with steel bumpers in traffic, no worry about someone hitting my beautiful Jaguar I-Pace!
You mentioned that the base price is 48k, I am looking all the 4xe's have 51k as the base price now and the total price comes to be around 55k minimum....
They have raised the price a couple of times
I’ve got to be honest - it is not a great time to be buying any vehicle. I predict prices will only go up!
@@Allthingsfadra I booked 2022 4xe a week ago, MSRP $59535 with all packages I needed. I got 9.25% discount off MSRP plus $7500 EV rebate. I am expecting it to be close to $47k
@@ppathak77 I got the same deal. If you don’t mind me asking how much are your lease payments? My dealer says the final prices won’t be on the table until the vehicle arrives to the dealership in around 3 months.
@@victoralmonte1694 that’s correct for the final price but it shouldn’t be too much. My monthly lease expected to be $417
Do you have young kids kids/teenagers? It cannot be good to sit on top of the battery pack. Only thing that is stopping me from buying one
You funny 🤣🤣
