What may look like a fairly normal image of a Jeep Wrangler is actually something much more exciting. First and foremost, the digital screen in the instrument cluster shows we’re dealing with the rugged Rubicon trim level, while the “4xe” reveals the vehicle is equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. This is where the story gets more interesting as the interior doesn’t actually belong to the Wrangler.<\/p>\n
Yes, the adjacent photo shows the Gladiator. The Wrangler’s pickup sibling has yet to spawn a PHEV version, meaning this is our very first official look at the electrified truck. How do we know it’s the Gladiator and not the Wrangler? Look into the rearview mirror on the driver’s side and you will notice a rollbar, which you are not going to find on a four-door Wrangler.<\/p>\n

A deeper analysis shows the button to turn on the cargo bed light, which is obviously found only on the Gladiator. We can exclude the possibility of a two-door Wrangler 4xe<\/a> because the cabin shown here has four visible window switches. Add all these obscure details and there can only be one conclusion \u2013 we are indeed looking at the Gladiator 4xe.<\/p>\n
