Back in July, Jeep CEO Chrstian Meunier was happy to report that the Wrangler 4xe was sold out for the entire 2021 model year. The electrified off-roader is indeed one of the quickest-selling hybrids available in North America, but you can still get behind the wheel of a new one despite the head honcho’s statement made months ago.<\/p>\n
How is that possible? Jeep North America President Jim Morrison told Muscle Cars and Trucks<\/em> there are enough dealer orders expected to last until the end of the year. In other words, while it might not be possible to order a new Wrangler 4xe today, Jeep dealers should have plenty of inventory for customers to pick from.<\/p>\n As Morrison explains in the interview: “We have enough Wrangler 4xe dealer orders to get us through the end of the year. We are still within that prioritizing of our customer orders. So if a customer comes in and gets a sold order, we’ll still put them in at the head of the line.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While Europe also gets a Renegade 4xe and a Compass 4xe, Jeep USA is only selling the Wrangler 4xe, with a Grand Cherokee 4xe<\/a> on the way. The reputable off-roader is available strictly in the four-door Unlimited body style and three trim levels: $51,225 Sahara, $54,925 Rubicon, and the $57,045 Altitude, with all three prices excluding the $1,595 destination charges and the federal tax credit of up to $7,500.<\/p>\n It is widely believed the Gladiator, essentially a Wrangler pickup truck, will also receive the 4xe treatment with the same PHEV setup. It should combine the turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine with dual electric motors, a 17-kWh lithium-ion battery, and an eight-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n The Wrangler 4xe offers a substantial 375 horsepower and 637 Newton-meters (470 pound-feet) and can cover up to 21 miles (34 kilometers) without sipping any gasoline. Chances are the Gladiator 4xe<\/a> could have a shorter EV range since it’s going to be significantly heavier than the SUV version, but that remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
