Used 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Consumer Reviews
Awesome Jeep! We love it!
We love this Jeep! It’s for our daughter and we especially love the safety aspect of the braking system and how it slows the car down quickly. Handles great-smooth suspension and not clunky! We used Car Edge to help us get dealers closer to that finish line of where we wanted to be in terms of deal structure. Highly recommend this vehicle. We did not buy it for the primary purpose of off roading-we like how high it sits up and how it’s equipped to handle weather, relatively inexpensive to maintain, the hybrid option, and feel like it's a safe car for our daughter.

It’s not perfect but it’s a great vehicle
I’ve had my 22’ 4XE Rubicon for 11 months and 1,100 miles. I still have 40% left until an oil change as I mostly drive in EV for errands/kids. When I drove it back from the dealer (500 miles) it was way too loud on the highway. So I put on a Hot Head Headliner and the sounds much more quiet and bearable. In the warm months I get around 25 miles of EV, but cold months I’d say it’s under 18. The Firecracker Red is a head-turner! The 1 touch skytop is a must and so convenient, especially with kids. The leather seats are comfy and I’m never sore. I bought aftermarket running boards so the kids and my spouse can get in easier. I disagree with Edmunds about the loose steering. It feels good to me and the ride isn’t as harsh as I expected. My fathers Stelvio TI Sport feels bumps more. I don’t personally like the transition from ev to hybrid. The Jeep revs/idols at around 1,700rpm for several minutes until it calms down. Jeep said it’s normal. I had some loose parts get tightened by the dealer under warranty. It feels slow in 2H, but if you put it in 4H it feels fast. All in all I really like my first Jeep. I wish it was fully electric. I just don’t care for the loud, small 4 banger sound. I use a MJJC foam cannon and SunJoe pressure washer to clean it a few times a week. That’s fun and waving to all the Jeep owners is fun the first few times.. lol. One quick update: This happened a day after my review, where 4WD, the battery, electronic stability control and ABS lights are on. The dealer said it’s still fine to drive and probably needs a new sensor. I’m driving it for 10 days like this until service can get me in. Wish me luck!

Just be prepared!
Great overall vehicle. I had the engine light come on the first week of ownership, turned out it was just the gas cap...thankfully, other than that it's been great. I live at the end of a 2 hour long drive down a logging road and use it for my weekly commute to the city. I use electric mode in the city and e-save charging mode when driving to and from home which keeps it charged to 95%. The added cost is about $2 in fuel per trip for keeping it charged (meaning; I run all over the city for only $2) I am also prepared for malfunctioning components since it is only a second year production version.... if you are not prepared... don't buy one yet! I have to say.... I love mine!

Most expensive piece of garabge you will own.
2 months after I bought it, the charging module died. When the part finally comes in it will have been 5-6 months of not being able to charge it. It likes to do a fuel and refresh mode which is extremely loud. It is supposed to be because when it's not using the motor it needs to get the oil and gas moving around. My jeep won't let me charge it but it still makes extremely loud refresh mode noise. Chrysler should not build vehicles they can't fix right away. What a joke. There is also less room in it because of the battery. I couldn't use the employee discount and I couldn't get a tax rebate for getting a hybrid. You only get that if you buy a Pacifica. I should have just kept my 2017 Jeep Wrangler.

Better than we expected - we have 2!
We actually have two of these - a highlighter yellow 2023 and a black 2022. Unlike many of these reviewers, we actually started with full EVs (Kia Niro and Mini Cooper SE) and backed down to plug in hybrids after one too many Electrify America close calls. They are more comfortable and efficient for short trips than the Jeep wrangler ecodiesel we traded in, but the ecodiesel ruled on highway trips with an average of 32 mpg (the best we can get with either 4xe is 23 mpg when appropriately using esave mode). We have had 0 mechanical or software issues. Why do we have 2? My job has fca affiliate pricing as a benefit, at the time of purchase both jeeps had full $7500 tax credits attached, and the 2022 was a hugely discounted leftover with the exact colors my wife wanted (and I didn’t). So far neither have had any issues at all, although I do wish they had had the upgraded icdm that allows V2L like our F150. One thing I’d like to correct in many of the other reviews is that they are full hybrids - there is 17kwhr-ish lithium battery, which includes the protective buffer, the hybrid partition, and the portion of the battery you can access in hybrid/electric mode. Just because you exhaust the electric range doesn’t mean the hybrid partition is empty too - you can demonstrate this every time you coast to a stop at a stop light and the engine turns off while you coast in and then stays off while you sit there. You have the full 375 HP all the time, whether your battery says empty or not. Our F150 hybrid only has a 1.5 kwhr battery all the time, which is probably the same size as the 4xe partition. So does a Prius. We’ve always had at least one Jeep (we live in Arkansas, so it’s written into the county codes here that you must). If you plug in every couple of days (yes we have a level 2 charger at home from our EVs), you can go 800-1000 miles easily on a tank with short work commutes - literally the Jeep will make you use gas so it doesn’t go bad. One hidden downside of this is that your maintenance costs are exaggerated- every time you change the oil, the oil only has about a thousand miles on it. We will sell off one of these next year to get another tax credit (probably Tesla, but we’ll see), but if you love jeeps (and paying less taxes) and commute less than 25 miles to work then the math can be in your favor.
