The Jeep Wrangler 4xe brings plug-in hybrid technology to the most capable off-road vehicle in the lineup, adding an electric motor and a 17 kWh battery without sacrificing the removable doors, open-air driving, or Trail Rated credentials Nassau County Wrangler buyers expect. Westbury Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram in Jericho stocks the 4xe in Sahara and Rubicon configurations, and our team helps drivers from Hicksville, Carle Place, and Mineola understand how the plug-in system changes the day-to-day ownership experience.
Bottom Line: The Jeep Wrangler 4xe at Westbury Jeep in Nassau County pairs 21 miles of electric-only range with the full off-road capability of the standard Wrangler, making it a practical choice for commuters who also want the weekend adventure option.
- Combined system output: 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque
- Up to 21 miles of electric-only range for short daily commutes
- May qualify for a federal clean vehicle tax credit of up to $7,500
How the 4xe Powertrain Works
The Wrangler 4xe pairs a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors and a 17 kWh battery pack. The combined system produces 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque - more than the standard 3.6L V6 Wrangler in both categories.
The electric-only range of 21 miles covers most typical Nassau County daily driving. A round trip from Hicksville to a Jericho office, or from Carle Place to a Mineola appointment, often falls within that electric window. Many 4xe owners run almost exclusively on electricity during the workweek.
When the battery depletes, the 4xe transitions to hybrid operation, with the gas engine managing the load. The EPA rates the 4xe at 20 MPG in gas-only mode - competitive with the standard V6 Wrangler and meaningfully better than the V8-equipped 392.

Three Driving Modes for Nassau County Roads
Electric Mode uses only battery power, running silently on the electric motors until the charge depletes or you demand more power than the motors alone can deliver. This is ideal for daily commuting within Nassau County when you start each day with a full charge.
Hybrid Mode balances both systems automatically, letting the vehicle manage transitions between electric and gas power for maximum efficiency across mixed driving conditions. This mode works well on the Northern State Parkway or Southern State Parkway where speed and load vary constantly.
E-Save Mode preserves battery charge for use later in the drive. If you plan a weekend trail run after your Nassau County commute, activating E-Save on the highway leg saves your electric range for the off-road portion where instant torque matters most.

4xe Off-Road Capability
Electric torque fundamentally improves low-speed rock crawling and trail navigation. Unlike a combustion engine that builds torque gradually as revs climb, electric motors deliver maximum torque instantly - a meaningful advantage when precise throttle control matters on technical terrain.
The Rubicon 4xe packages this electric advantage with Rock-Trac 4WD, an electronically disconnecting front sway bar, locking front and rear differentials, and 4.56 axle ratios. Off-road, the Rubicon 4xe is arguably the most capable production Wrangler currently available without additional modification.
Trail Rated certification applies to the 4xe models exactly as it does to their gas counterparts. Ground clearance, approach angle, departure angle, and water fording depth remain equivalent. The hybrid system components are positioned to maintain these off-road specifications.
"The 4xe surprises people who expect a hybrid to feel different from a regular Wrangler. Off-road, the instant electric torque is actually an improvement. On the street, the efficiency numbers make the math work for drivers who charge at home every night."

Charging the 4xe in Nassau County
Level 2 home charging is the most practical setup for Nassau County 4xe owners. A 240V outlet - similar to what a clothes dryer or electric range uses - fully recharges the 4xe battery in approximately 2 hours. Many owners install a dedicated Level 2 EVSE unit in their garage for added convenience and faster charging.
Standard 120V charging is also supported and works without any additional equipment beyond the included cable. The tradeoff is time: overnight 120V charging is sufficient for most owners whose daily mileage stays within the 21-mile electric range.
DC fast charging is not supported on the Wrangler 4xe. The 17 kWh battery is designed for Level 1 and Level 2 charging only, which aligns with the home-charging pattern most 4xe owners establish. Public Level 2 chargers in Nassau County can supplement home charging when needed.
Tax Credits and Incentives for the 4xe
The Wrangler 4xe may qualify for a federal clean vehicle tax credit of up to $7,500 for eligible buyers. Income limits and vehicle price caps apply. Our detailed guide to Wrangler 4xe federal tax credits covers the specific requirements for Nassau County buyers.
New York State’s Drive Clean Rebate program offers additional incentives for plug-in hybrid vehicles purchased in the state. Combined with the federal credit, qualified Nassau County buyers may significantly reduce the effective out-of-pocket cost of a 4xe purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions: Jeep Wrangler 4xe in Nassau County
What is the real-world electric range of the Wrangler 4xe?
The EPA-rated range is 21 miles of electric-only driving. Real-world results vary based on temperature, terrain, driving speed, and climate control use. Nassau County drivers typically report 17-21 miles of practical electric range in mixed driving conditions.
Is the 4xe heavier than a standard Wrangler?
Yes. The battery pack and additional drivetrain components add approximately 600-700 pounds compared to a comparable V6 Wrangler. The additional weight is noticeable in overall mass but is largely offset by the instant electric torque in most driving situations.
Can I lease a Wrangler 4xe at Westbury Jeep?
Yes. Wrangler 4xe lease programs are available at Westbury Jeep. Manufacturer lease programs sometimes apply federal incentive value to reduce the capitalized cost, effectively passing credit benefit to lessees. Our lease team can show you current 4xe lease terms and how incentives are structured.
Does the 4xe have the same towing capacity as the standard Wrangler?
Yes. The Wrangler 4xe is rated for up to 3,500 pounds of towing - the same as the standard V6 Wrangler. The electric motors do not reduce towing capacity, and the available torque is actually higher than the V6 in combined output.
