How Far Can Freedom Take You? A Look at the 2025 Wrangler 4xe Range

The 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe mixes electric power with America’s most capable off-roader. This plug-in hybrid doesn’t compromise the legendary Wrangler DNA — it just adds a quieter, cleaner way to cruise around town and tackle trails. Our team at Bill Volz Westchester Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) will break down all the fascinating details about this modern adventure vehicle.

 

Why Range Matters: What Sets the Wrangler 4xe Apart for Everyday and Off-Road Journeys

The Wrangler 4xe is in a class by itself. That 21-mile electric range from the 17.3 kWh battery isn’t just about saving gas. Picture rolling through your neighborhood at 6 a.m. without waking the kids or creeping up to a wildlife blind without spooking anything for miles around. That’s what makes this setup different from your typical hybrid SUV.

As for 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe specs, it’s got plenty of power: the 2.0-liter turbo four teams up with two electric motors to crank out 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Compare that to Toyota’s 2025 4Runner hybrid with 326 horsepower, and you’ll see why Jeep’s ahead of the game. Those electric motors give you instant torque, so no waiting around when you’re climbing steep rocks or need to merge onto the highway.

2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Range Breakdown: All-Electric, Hybrid, and Total Miles Explained

With the Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid, there are a few different ways to think about range. Pure electric mode gets you 21 miles before the gas engine kicks in. When both systems work together, you’re looking at 49 MPGe — not bad for something that can climb mountains. Its total range reaches 370 miles, which covers most people’s weekly Cortlandt commute.

The transition between modes happens smoothly, so you won’t feel a jolt when the gas engine kicks in. Keep in mind that if the battery’s dead, the fuel efficiency will drop significantly.

How Long Does It Take To Charge? 120V vs. 240V Charging Times Compared

Options for your Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s charge time are straightforward. Standard wall outlet (120V) takes about 12 hours to reach full, making the included Level 1 charger ideal for overnight charging at home. Want faster? The Free2move Charge Level 2 option on a 240V setup cuts charging time to about 2.5 hours. That’s quick enough for a lunch break top-up. All the 2025 models come with the same charging gear, so you’ve got options right out of the box.

Charging the 4xe in Cortlandt: How To Power Up Locally

Good news for Cortlandt drivers: the charging scene’s getting better fast. The Cortlandt, NY area now has five EV charging locations offering 19 charging ports as part of Westchester County’s July 2025 electric vehicle infrastructure expansion. This rollout includes up to $5 million in county backing, with towns getting up to 50% cost reimbursement. It’s resulted in 79 charging locations with over 750 ports across 24 municipalities.

Free charging is available too. The County Center’s South Parking Lot added 25 new stations that can handle up to 50 vehicles without charging a fee. As a 4xe owner, you’ll also find a home charging setup pretty manageable; we can hook you up with knowledgeable and reliable local electricians. Stop by our dealership at 2293 Crompond Road, or give us a ring at 914-996-6133.

What Affects Wrangler 4xe Range in Real-World Driving?

Your actual electric miles depend on various factors. Vehicle weight, your accelerator use, temperature, terrain, tire pressure, towing (up to 3,500 pounds), and accessories all contribute to your usable range. Cold weather’s a real range killer, and hard acceleration or cranking the air conditioning will drain the battery quickly. Without the electric assist, you’re down from that 49 MPGe to just 20 mpg combined.

It’s worth noting that the hybrid’s extra weight can affect handling in tight off-road spots. Remote areas might not have many charging stations, though the eSave mode prioritizes the gas engine to save battery charge for later use. In the U.S., annual household driving averages 14,489 miles, equaling roughly 40 miles per day, so your Wrangler 4xe’s 21-mile electric range covers about half of typical daily needs.

2025 vs. 2024 Wrangler 4xe: Range and Charging Updates

The 2025 model sticks with what worked in 2024, offering the same fuel economy ratings and total range. Electric-only distance is consistent, and charging times haven’t changed.

In terms of what’s different in 2025, power door locks and windows are now standard across all Wrangler 4xe trims, plus you can control cabin ventilation through your smartphone. There’s also a new drab-olive exterior color called ’41, and a limited-edition Backcountry model is part of the lineup. These updates focus on appearance and convenience rather than changing how far you can drive or how fast you can charge.

Balancing Power and Range: How the 2025 Wrangler 4xe Does Both

The 2.0-liter turbo engine teams up with two electric motors: one replaces the usual generator, and another mounts to the transmission. The gas engine alone makes 270 horsepower, with the electric side adding significant extra muscle. The combined output offers a quick 5.2-second 0-to-60 mph sprint time in the Rubicon trim.

Regenerative braking captures energy that’d normally get wasted when you decelerate. You get different drive modes, too: the Hybrid (both systems working), Electric (battery only), and eSave modes change whether you’re preserving, using, or charging your electric power while driving.

From Driveways to Dirt Roads: Can You Commute and Adventure on a Single Charge?

Short commuters might go weeks without buying gas. If you live within 10 miles of work, you could handle the daily round trip without burning any fuel. In the Cortlandt area, you can generally reach nearby towns or train stations purely on battery power, saving cash and cutting emissions.

Electric mode’s great for outdoor activities. For example, wildlife photographers love the silent approach, and campers can appreciate rolling into sites without disturbing anyone. Sure, the electric motors won’t get you deep into the backcountry on their own, but they’re perfect for campground exploring, short trail runs, or quick supply trips.
