If you don't like a Jeep don't make it look like it's bad because you're lying to yourself Always remember those that do not like the Jeep don't know anything about a Jeep why all the other companies copying off each other with boring junk overpriced vehicles a Jeep can do anything and have hundreds of different stuff and hundreds of different rides
from what the sales guy told me, the 4XE doesnt come with the 35 in tires because of fuel economy...bigger tires means heavier tires, and less fuel economy, also the Regular Rubicon X 2 doors comes with 33 in tires.
God ,the people looking for refinement in a Jeep are the same dopes that complain about small SUV being too,small.. who would guess a vehicle with soft roof would be noisy?
if this 2024 is the same as my 2023 rubicon 4XE 20th anniversary... the only way to keep the forward camera on is to remove it from 4X4, with 4X4, the camera goes off at around 15MPH
Nice review, also the reason 4xe is not for me: 1. It's not a fuel efficient vehicle!!!! For Rubicon 4xe real world numbers are 40MPGe/15 MPG - basically means you can drive 40 miles on your first gallon of fuel (40 MPG), but after 70 miles it will be 23 MPG - just like the regular non-hybrid 2L Turbo . It gets really funny after a 100 miles (20 MPG) - hybrid becomes less efficient compared to non-hybrid, or even V6, and it goes straight downhill from there. If you really drive 40 miles a day - you will be saving 1 gallon of fuel (3-5) dollars per day ( assuming electricity is free), and these numbers drop in the winter. 2. Not money efficient. 4xe is 7000$ more and saving 3$ a day will take 6 years to pay off the difference. If you drive more - forget about savings. And it's all assuming nothing else goes wrong with the drive train, and many records suggest that it will. 3. Performance vs reliability for 4xe is not great. Its off-road capabilities are worse compared to non-hybrid - too heavy and smaller fuel tank compared to non-hybrid. 4xe was designed for short commutes in a heavy city traffic - conventional fuel efficiency with ESS =off drops to 12-15 MPG in a stalled traffic. It also great for daily driving with large tires - surprisingly will only lose few miles from all electric range.
We had a digital dash in a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited. Worse experience ever with the new Uconnect5. It was glitchy as a mofork. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Uconnect4 was sweet; too bad Ram/Jeep/Dodge gave it up.
Well at least they upgraded the infotainment screen FINALLY.. but still it’s too expensive, expensive to maintain, not fuel efficient, not comfortable for anyone to ride in, horrible steering, not fast, and has horrible warranty.
@@fonsiy2898 It doesn't matter. Maybe you should keep your nationality to yourself do to political climate in these forums so other ppl won't elicit these comments 🧐😉
Why soooooooooooooooooooo much to buy??? Its a Jeep man. They get death wobble, broken wind shields, terrible gas mileage, they have roof leaks, crappy stereo systems and road noise so loud you can't hear yourself think. $ 70,000 is a price only an idiot spend.
should compare this to actual ICE jeep. it's not helpful to just review it as a stand alone vehicle. it's the ICE comparison that matters. I've driven these 2x and own a gladiator. IT's terrible. battery doesn't last more than a day or so in HYBRID mode. and when it's gas only it weighs 500lbs more than a rubicon ICE but only has that 2.0L 4 banger. absolute dog. taking it off road the regenertive breaking burns the brakes up. it just does. that's dangerous.
Dude, pretty much the opposite of everything you said is true. "Battery doesn't last more than a day or so"... what are you even talking about, here? The 4XE is NEVER "gas only". The electric motor is always available to assist, even at 0 battery. You always have nearly 500 lbs of torque at your disposal regardless of your charge level. And regenerative braking is LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE of what you said. It uses friction from the electric motor/generator to slow you down. It doesn't even use your braking system until you're about a third of the way down the pedal, so your brakes heat up LESS OFTEN off road than a standard ICE vehicle.
@@robsolf I drove one for a week in Hawaii. Gas mileage was 15. No battery. Brakes were red hot coming down from volcano despite never touching them. Are you speaking from experience or books?
I own one. I have 20k on it and the pads looked like new as of 18k. Been up and down mountains many times; never an ounce of brake fade. Whatever you did, the brakes would be on fire if you did it in an ICE vehicle.
@@robsolf fair enough. I found the 4xe to be an absolute piece of shit pile. Terrible power once battery is used up. Massive brake fade. And off road in 4 lo super loud like a vacuum cleaner. Only made for cafe standards to keep making the 392.
@@aarongerman7857 Makes no sense that you have no power when you hit 0%. The only change is that the script flips and the ICE provides main power while the electric motor/generator assists when needed. At any battery level, at any speed in any gear, the 4XE will walk a pentastar. But to each their own.
Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Wrangler or Bronco?
Wrangler, i think

I have the Rubicon 4xe. Love it. If the electronic range was 50 to 100 miles, it would be about perfect
put it in 4 auto and you get the full power . Car and driver got it to zero to sixty in 5.3 seconds
If you get a Mini Tazer JL. You can put it in Baja mode.

It’s loud because of the larger tires and it’s lifted.
I thought it was a great review man. Nice work.

I have enjoyed driving
I'm falling love with jeeps
crazy price for a jeep
Mhmmm
Someone has problems with the screen on the 2024 Rubicon 4xe?
Thank god it has analogue gauges No one wants to look at another screen
