Wrangler is synonymous with off-road prowess, which is why both models are so closely matched in this department. Going from the asphalt to the underbrush will be a breeze in either model, so you can take all the fun way off the map or right around the corner.
Command-Trac® Part-Time 4x4 comes standard on the Jeep Wrangler. It allows you to engage 4-wheel capability when the path ahead calls for it. The full-time Selec-Trac® 4x4 System is available with the Wrangler and standard with the Wrangler 4xe. It automatically switches between 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive depending on the conditions, so it’s always primed for efficiency and adventure.
Both models are available in the Rubicon trim, which is built for the most extreme off-road conditions. They come with the Rock-Trac® 4x4 System, which provides commanding control with a 4:1 low-gear ratio, so you can bowl over boulders and power through obstacles with ease.
Tru-Lok® Electronic Locking Differentials in the front and rear are also available with both SUVs. They prevent wheelspin when crawling over uneven terrain, so you can keep charting a trail through deep sand or mud.
Power and efficiency are equally important in every adventure, and the Jeep Wrangler delivers. When it comes to choosing between the traditional Wrangler and the Wrangler 4xe, however, it could depend on which quality you value more.
The Wrangler 4xe is the more efficient of the two SUVs, and it’s all thanks to its plug-in hybrid powertrain. The combination of 2.0L I4 and an electric engine gives the 4xe an estimated range of 370 miles. That will get you to the most remote campsite and back.
You’ll also enjoy an EPA-estimated 49 combined MPGe with the Wrangler 4xe. The traditional Wrangler has a top EPA-estimated 21 city/24 highway MPG.
Meet the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. This trim level is only available with the traditional Wrangler. It puts the power of the legendary, 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine in your grasp. It’s capable of 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, which propels it from 0 to 60 MPH in a blistering 4.5 seconds.
The Jeep Wrangler is designed to be your home away from home—even when that’s the last place you want to be. Whether it’s hauling your climbing gear to the next rock wall or keeping you connected before you ascend, these SUVs know how to multitask.
When you’re in weekend warrior mode, there’s a lot to load into your SUV. Camping supplies? Check. Hiking gear? Check. Cooler of provisions? Check. Look at that: There’s still room left over for your new hammock. The Wrangler 4xe boasts a maximum of 67.4 cubic feet of storage, while the traditional Wrangler provides 72.4 cubic feet.
The Uconnect® 5 infotainment system is the connectivity hub in both SUVs. It’s anchored to a vivid 12.3-inch touchscreen that will give you control over apps like:
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android Auto™
- 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot
- SiriusXM® Radio
- GPS Navigation
Who’s the DJ on this road trip? They’ll be happy to know they’ll get to play everyone’s favorite tunes over the available Alpine® Premium Audio System.
These SUVs bring the rugged style and capability you expect from a Jeep Wrangler, so it all comes down to whether you desire the extended range and electric efficiency of the Wrangler 4xe or the possibility of a ramped-up powertrain in the traditional Wrangler. The choice is yours!
