When in electric mode, the 2023 Wrangler 4xe produces very little sound, allowing drivers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable cabin as they travel.
Surf Blue Accents
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe features surf blue accents, which provides the cabin with a distinct and refined look not found in other SUVs. This includes contrast stitching, which highlights the well-defined edges of the cabin’s high-quality materials, giving drivers and passengers alike even more reason to appreciate this SUV’s stylish interior design.
Performance
Capable Hybrid Powertrain
The 2023 Wrangler 4xe comes standard with a 2.0-litre, in-line four-cylinder direct-injection Turbo Plug-In Hybrid powertrain, which utilizes a 17-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Delivering 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, this powertrain is as capable as it is efficient.
Electric Driving Modes
Three E-Selec driving modes are available for the 2023 Wrangler 4xe. The electric mode relies mostly on the battery, only switching to the 2.0L engine when extra torque is required. The hybrid mode balances both systems for a sportier driving experience, while the eSave mode prioritizes battery conservation, allowing the engine to do most of the work.
Waterproof Battery
Concerned about the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s ability to withstand the elements? The battery installed inside every 2023 Wrangler 4xe is thoroughly waterproof, allowing the SUV to tackle water streams up to 76 centimetres tall without issue.
Technology
Regenerative Braking

Safety
Forward Collision Warning

In the event of an emergency, this driver aid will automatically apply the brakes.
Off-Road Camera
A forward-facing TrailCam Off-Road Camera is also available for the 2023 Wrangler 4xe. This camera system allows the driver to view dynamic tire path lines, helping the driver navigate tricky terrain and avoid low obstacles.
