Driving a hybrid used to mean sacrificing power for better mileage. The Jeep 2.0L Plug-In Hybrid (4xe) changes that calculation entirely. This powertrain offers massive torque without range anxiety, adapting perfectly to stop-and-go traffic.
This system converts die-hard V8 enthusiasts by delivering immediate acceleration that standard gas engines simply cannot match.
The 4xe is a performance upgrade rather than just an efficiency play. By pairing a robust 2.0L Turbo I4 engine with a high-voltage battery and electric motors, Jeep created the most powerful engine available in the standard lineup.

You control the power delivery using the buttons located to the left of the steering wheel.
Hybrid Mode: This is the default setting. The computer automatically pulls power from the battery first, blending in the gas engine only when you demand peak horsepower for passing on I-69.
Electric Mode: Perfect for short trips around Fishers or Carmel. The gas engine stays off, allowing you to drive on pure battery power with zero tailpipe emissions.
E-Save Mode: Use this mode on the highway to save your battery charge. It relies on the gas engine so you have full electric torque available for off-roading later.
Jeep has deployed this advanced tech into its most popular vehicles.
This vehicle retains every bit of its Trail Rated® capability. The waterproof battery pack allows you to ford streams, while the electric motor provides silent, precise torque for crawling over obstacles.
Refinement meets efficiency. You can tow up to 6,000 lbs or run your daily errands in Noblesville without burning a drop of gas.
If you are torn between the traditional V6 and the modern 4xe, look at the torque numbers.

Purchasing a pre-owned hybrid involves more than kicking the tires. You need to know the high-voltage system is safe and healthy. Private sellers rarely have the tools to verify the condition of the battery cells or the inverter.
