2023 Jeep Rubicon 4xe Does Not Disappoint

Excellent new rig from Jeep. By keeping it in hybrid most of the time I'm averaging 26mpg in city and 30+mpg highway - a major improvement over my old gas powered TJ and JK rigs with their average of 13 mpg on a good day. Engine doesn't feel like I've traded any power for this efficiency, which is fantastic. It took a bit to get used to how the engine sounds, but that's a me problem. You're not going to get that big, powerful Jeep rumble with a PHEV. So far it's been a dream on light trails and on the beach, as well. I haven't tested the towing capacity yet, but expect it will handle my trailer just fine. We have a lot of mixed terrain and slick weather where I live and the Jeep has been stable to drive: hugging the pavement when it's icy, surefooted in snow, good traction in wet sand, and solid on rain-slicked winter roads. It hasn't given me any problems on hills at all, though the real test will be when I go over the pass for the first time. I expect it will handle that well also. One aspect of having a PHEV Jeep that I find delightful is the ability to put it in esave mode and then run on electric once I reach the trailhead. It's been a pleasure to do some light off roading in relative quiet and actually hear nature instead of a loud engine. There is a tradeoff in my gas use efficiency when I do that, of course, but it's worth it. Just like my standard shift Jeeps, I expect choosing the correct dealer is going to make a difference with these Jeeps going forward. With my stick shift TJ and JK, finding a dealer in this decade that still understood stick shifts and their quirks was essential. Now I think finding a dealer that understands the combined complexities of a hybrid engine and a rig built for off road use will be key to owner happiness. My only personal gripe with this Jeep so far has nothing to do with the rig - it's that I detest the color blue ;) Happily, a quick de-badging session this summer when it's not so cold will take care of that. My only broad gripe with this Jeep is the price point! This Rubicon feels like it would be more appropriately priced in the $50K range new but I see it being sold as high as $80K in some areas. Overall, 10/10, absolutely pleased with my purchase. Can't wait to see how the models continue to improve and innovate as Jeep gets more time in the electric vehicle space.

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.

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.

I bought my 4xe on December 7th 2022. On the way to work on the 9th it died at a red light and said service transmission soon. It started back up and I took it to the dealership I bought it from. They pulled the code and test drove it and said they couldn’t find any issues but if it happened again to bring it back in. On December 10th I was at a light again and it died only this time it would not restart. Roadside was going to take 2 hours and the police gave me 2 choices. 1. Tow at my own expense 2. Have it impounded and pay the impound fee. I went with option 1. It took almost 2 weeks for the Stellantis engineers to determine my car with 122 miles needs a new transmission and it would be another 6-8 weeks before I got my car back. My dream car growing up was a Wrangler and it has now turned into a nightmare. I am now driving a rental compass with no auto start or heated anything in the middle of winter in Michigan.
Pre purchase research made the decision easy

I love this vehicle. I’ve had the jeep 12 days, done daily in-town and highway driving and still have a half tank of fuel. Definitely take a test drive to experience the max gen when you take your foot off the gas and the turbo when you get on the highway. To understand and get the most out of this PHEV, pre-purchase research is essential regarding the different modes and how to avoid potential problems. My only complaint is that there are more wind sounds on the highway than I like so I just turn up the sound system…which is awesome.

Rubicon 4XE

I’ve had mine for one 8 month now ; 2023 Rubicon. I had one issue with the bat thery coolant pump that was all. I’m driving it as a daily and has 9300 miles on it in the last . The vehicle is fun to drive , and corners well. The Tires it comes with are the KO2 from BF GoodRich and they are great in all conditions but rain. The brakes however could be better, they are still sluggish even after they have been worn in. Must be ready for those folks who slam their brakes when they see a yellow light, or any sudden stoped Even after they are broken in they are still weak even with the regen brake . I’m 107k into thi$ vehicle and they should have put Brembo brakes on this thing with a 4 piston caliper . The vehicle is very heavy and is combined with with Barley adequate braking especially when not using the Max regeneration mode. Also I wish they put the max regeneration button on the stick shifter . Also the Max Regeneration button should be better quality . When I press it too fast it won’t register that I pressed it. It needs to be a button that clicks on and off & is guaranteed to work no mattter how fast it’s presses/depressed. I had it go into FORM after 1200 miles where the hybrid systems went down , I drove it to the top of a mountain and FORM went away just as I reached the top & started to decend. No it’s not a perfect Hyrid system, No it’s not as refined and polished as Others like Toyota , But if you can get a non lemon 🍋 that runs good , it may be well worth the trouble to figure out how this vehicle operates best. I just got my 240v charging station installed at home and it charges in 2hrs at 7.5KW. The wife loves the vehicle , and so do I. Although it needs mudflaps…. It sprays mud all over the side of the vehicle and even under the door jams …. Be sure to add 3M tape to your door hinges so they don’t get chipped up like mine. So far I usually go 2000 miles on electric for every 300 miles on gas ⛽️ I’m getting 24-28 miles per charge dash now says 44mpg

We love our 2023 Unlimited 4xe. Our daily commute is short so we can recharge with little gas use. Certainly less efficient in cold climates. But again it's a Jeep! We also got the $7500 rebate which was the deciding factor for us. So be happy driving a Jeep people!

Great torque for a rubicon off-roader available at all times (even when battery is depleted). 25 miles of EV only range is an added bonus. so fun to drive.

Within 8 months died twice and had to be towed. Tech can’t find the issue. Jeep wave don’t give you loaner you have to rent an even crappier car within their limited allotted budget. Towing is whole another crap takes forever and puts your car at risk. For 70k stay away from Sellantis and Jeep. Better off going for reliable makers
DO NOT BUY!

I leased a high altitude in August 2034. I did some research however after my last car was written off, I had to get something and getting a plug in hybrid quickly was an issue. I always wanted a jeep and see so many (non plug in) around I thought why not. After 2 weeks of owning it the apply CarPlay constantly cut out. Dealer said there is a wire behind the dash that needs replaced but the wire is being made so just have to wait. Okay not a huge deal. As the weather started to drop the vehicle went into a fuel and oil refresh mode. I had read about this but thought it would come back out of the mode when the engine got warm. Nope! The weather got decently warm for about two weeks in November where it should have come out of it but nothing. The change oil light came on and about a week later while driving every light in the car came on and the wipers went crazy and the car died however was stuck in “run” mode. While standing outside of the car it turned itself back on, did the weird lights thing again and shut off. After waiting a couple minutes the gas only engine came back on with the check engine light on. Took it to the dealership where it sat for a week. During the week I read in the US there is a recall. In Canada there is not so they basically flashed the computer and did the oil change. When picking it up I was told there is a dead speaker inside the front bumper (a pedestrian alert speaker) that came dead from the factory that they will order but also have no timeline. Fast forward 2 weeks later and the vehicle says it won’t go into electric mode for no reason. The fuel oil refresh came back on a day after that and now a week later, it says it needs another oil change! Im happy I leased this because brand new this vehicle was 73000 CAD and 4 months later another dealership told me its worth 51000 CAD. So much for jeeps not depreciating as much. Listen to the reviews before considering because the headaches are endless! And now I’ve got a vehicle I don’t even feel okay taking on a road trip! Update - The vehicle has now died another two times. It has now been in the shop for 3 months and no resolution in sight.

I have had the Rubicon 4xe for almost two years and I freaking love it. So fun to drive. Now that my battery recall has been done, I’m plugging it in again and getting 25 electric miles with every charge. The thing I love the most is the ability to shift the 4xe into a “hybrid 4H” mode, which functions a lot like an AWD vehicle. I’m leasing and hoping to buy at the end of the lease, unless there’s something available with more range on the battery. I’ll hang onto this until I have my new Scout in a few years.

I love my 2023 Wrangler 4xe however with in 6 months of having it the transmission had to be replaced, 3 shocks, the gas fuel funnel and cap, air in the coolent line, recall software update and driver seat mechanism is broken so the seat constantly slides down. It’s been in the shop on and off for the last 2 months. Jeep customer care is a joke and the dealership service department isn’t much better. Hope I can make it a week without it being with out something else going wrong. Good luck!

I am not normally someone who writes reviews about a product. However, my experience with Jeep has been a disaster. I paid a premium for 4XE Sahara. My gripe is that the car constantly says “oil refresh in progress” and that electric mode is unavailable. This began approximately 1 year into my lease. I brought the vehicle to Jeep to get the problem looked at. I was told it is a known problem and they are working on a fix. This was over 4 months ago. I then tried to lemon law the car but Jeep says it is not a mechanical problem and closed my case. They are unreceptive and unwilling to stand behind their product. Do not buy a Jeep.

I brought a 4xe on July 13, 2024. The vehicle engine light has not been on for only 5 days since purchase. As of now the vehicle has been in and out of the dealership 4 x but to no solution, and as of today we are starting the 6 wk. of being in the shop. I am a USMC and served my country with honor and finally I retired and purchased the vehicle I wanted since first going into the corps. I have been treated fairly with the dealership but I am ignored with the manufacture not caring for their product. I just want what any hard working person after spending over 68,000.00 to receive a vehicle that work and if it is broken own up.

Why would you produce such a piece of garbage! Apart from it looking somewhat cool this vehicle fails on so many levels. I have driven many vehicles and I am amazed at how poorly engineered vehicle is! For starters 19 mpg for a hybrid? The “hybrid” seems more like an auto stall feature than anything else. I have never driven a new vehicle with a fuel system that would not vent…meaning…you can’t refuel it! Gas constantly shuts off at the pump because it doesn’t vent properly and then overflows. Horrible highway noise. I don’t bother with the radio or crappy Bluetooth because it’s so noisy for the most part. The instruments are crap! No speedometer? The vehicle is cramped for space…squirrelly on the highway…everyone raves about them being trail rated and awesome off road…but I would take a Toyota Landcruiser any day. Didn’t keep it long enough, but I’ve known 2 guys personally who were replacing the engine with less than 100K…easy miles…I guess that’s a jeep thing too? Last week I saw someone on the side of the road. He had been towing an airstream with the Gladiator pickup version…and the “frame” buckled! The vehicle was literally bent into a pyramidal shape where the bed and cab meet…the hitch being pulled down and bottomed out on the road. You’d be hard pressed to find any other light duty pickup so poorly made.
