Wrangler 4xe
Official guide price 545,900-624,900 yuan
Jeep launched the Wrangler last year as an example of electrification, launching the Wrangler PHEV model-Wrangler 4xe. As the most representative model of the entire Jeep, the Wrangler has its own unique talking points in terms of historical origins and vehicle performance, and Lava Red has become the color that best represents the rugged and bold Wrangler. For the Wrangler 4xe, it is naturally not the same. Exceptions
The Wrangler 4xe is derived from the current fourth-generation Wrangler (JL) model. Like the ordinary fuel-powered Wrangler, it also has two versions: Robin Hood and Sahara. The price is 545,900-624,900 yuan. In terms of appearance design, it is not significantly different from the fuel version. It still has the familiar 7-hole grille and round headlights front face design, with some new energy designs incorporated into the details.
The length, width and height of the Robin Hood model are 4882x1894x1848mm, and the wheelbase is 3008mm, while the height of the Sahara model is 10mm lower, and the rest of the dimensions are the same. The vehicle has a charging interface on the left front fender, which is also the biggest difference in appearance between the Wrangler 4xe and the fuel version.
The interior of the Wrangler 4xe Robin Hood is decorated with electric blue stitching that is not available on the fuel version. The instrument panel and central control LCD screen have evolved for the electric interface. Although positioned as a hard-core off-road vehicle, the Wrangler 4xe also supports voice control and Apple CarPlay/Baidu CarLife mobile phone interconnection.
The Wrangler 4xe Robin Hood has a 9-speaker Alpine brand audio, keyless entry, keyless start, heated steering wheel, automatic anti-glare interior rearview mirror, automatic dual-zone air conditioning and other comfort configurations. The vehicle seats are all wrapped in genuine leather, but the front seat adjustments do not provide electric functions and are all achieved manually. However, the heating function of the front seats can provide front passengers with a more suitable experience in some outdoor areas with lower temperatures, which is very good. The vehicle's battery is placed under the second-row seats. Therefore, when the second-row seats are folded forward, a height difference will be formed with the trunk floor.
The Wrangler 4xe is equipped with the same 2.0L turbocharged engine as the fuel version.The wheel-supercharged engine has a maximum power of 195.4kW and a maximum torque of 400N·m. With the support of the P2 motor, the maximum power of the entire hybrid system is 276kW and the maximum output torque is 637N·m. In pure electric mode, the NEDC cruising range of the Wrangler 4xe is 55km, which is in line with the new energy license policy in Shanghai.
The Wrangler 4xe Robin Hood adopts a traditional non-load-bearing body and is equipped with a Rock-Trac intelligent four-wheel drive system, which has various drive modes such as rear drive, high-speed four-wheel drive, low-speed four-wheel drive, and part-time four-wheel drive. The vehicle also has BFGoodrich KM2 mud-terrain-specific tires, front/rear axle differential locks, and anti-roll bar disconnect functions. Together with the powerful torque output of the Wrangler 4xe, it can be said to be unfavorable.
The addition of electrification has allowed the Wrangler, a traditional car series, to find its own direction of progress in the wave of new energy. PHEV not only improves the Wrangler's fuel economy, but also makes its torque output more controllable when off-road. This can also be regarded as a milestone for consumers and the Wrangler itself.
Editor's comment: For many people, when buying a car, they usually choose basic colors such as black, white and gray. They never go wrong, but at the same time they also lack some personality. The saying "Thousands of people have thousands of faces" also applies to cars. Each car has its own different shape, personality, and cultural background. Among the thousands of colors in the world, only red is the most complete expression of them. Among these 4 or other red cars on the market, is there one you like?
