We have been a Jeep dealership for years, and we've seen our customers purchase Jeep after Jeep, thrilled with what it offers them. A Jeep makes off-roading for fun a lot easier, and even an activity as simple as driving down the highway feels more empowering. Jeep owners know and love the brand, usually becoming life-long enthusiasts and never switching to another manufacturer. There's a reason the slogan “It’s a Jeep thing” has become common among automotive enthusiasts. Recently, we've seen our customers have a lot of success with the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, a plug-in hybrid version of the Wrangler. You don't have to take our word for its quality; it has become America’s best-selling plug-in hybrid because drivers love its capability and efficiency.
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is undoubtedly a ticket to success for those who drive long distances in western Massachusetts. While it’s great for all types of driving, we think drivers who are regularly on the road or on the trail in western Massachusetts will find the Wrangler 4xe is a rewarding SUV that will make you a Jeep convert if you aren’t one already. Today, we’re going to walk through precisely why that is so that you can see how you’ll become a more effective driver when you’re the owner of a Jeep Wrangler 4xe. Then, you’ll want to come down and visit us here at Bedard Brothers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram to pick out a Wrangler 4xe of your very own.
A New Sense of Efficiency
Because the Jeep Wrangler 4xe arrives with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, it stands as a far more efficient SUV compared to its peers. For those who want to save money on gas and also drive in an environmentally friendly manner, the Wrangler 4xe is the SUV to do it in. And don’t worry: you will not be sacrificing capability in the name of efficiency, either. You’ll still be able to roar down the highway and drive off-road, even in more difficult terrain, thanks to the power the Wrangler 4xe has.
The efficiency the Wrangler 4xe offers is particularly important for anyone who drives around western Massachusetts. Why? Because there’s often quite a distance between cities, which means your vehicle will be consuming a lot of fuel unless it’s particularly efficient. This translates to some serious damage to your wallet, which means you’re stuck spending on gas instead of saving for the future. That’s why you need to go with the Wrangler 4xe. It has an estimated efficiency of 49 MPGe and an all-electric range of 22 miles before the gasoline engine kicks in. At this rate, you’ll forget what a gas station looks like.
With that plug-in hybrid powertrain, what’s the capability looking like? Pretty impressive. You have 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque to play with. That translates to excellent acceleration and a smooth, steady ride at highway speeds. For those of us traversing Massachusetts, we’re going to end up on the highway on an almost daily basis. With great acceleration, entering the highway becomes a piece of cake. You won’t have to worry about the stressful experience of getting stuck on the entrance ramp, waiting for a break in traffic while the impatient guy behind you keeps blaring his horn.
That you get all this power without breaking the bank at the pump, thanks to the plug-in hybrid powertrain, is one of the SUV’s biggest bonuses. You’re also helping to protect the environment of Massachusetts by embracing some green energy. Everyone wins!
The Ability to Handle Off-Roading
The Wrangler 4xe is very off-road friendly. In fact, we might go so far as to say it lives for off-roading. Thanks to its hybrid nature, the engine’s ability to let you go long distances means that you don’t have to worry yourself with charging stations just to enjoy a bit of the great outdoors. And if you’re worried about charging stations in general? Don’t be; charging stations are cropping up everywhere. If you plan to be on a trail for a really long time and want to use electric power, you’ll be interested to know that Jeep is installing solar-paneled charging stations at trails across the country. Keep your eye out for this new piece of tech! It’s a whole new world out there.
The torque and acceleration we mentioned give the Wrangler 4xe the ability to blast over difficult terrain, be it mud, dirt, or gravel, without breaking a sweat. You have plenty of available upgrades for your Wrangler 4xe, too, and some higher trims come with these upgrades standard. For instance, the Willys 4xe comes with a locking rear differential, and the High Altitude 4xe trim comes with 20-inch wheels. If you really want to indulge in off-roading, you should check the Sahara 4xe, as it comes with a TrailCam Forward-Facing Off-Road Camera that will help you notice obstacles on the ground that you might otherwise not spot. It’s a great way to make sure your gorgeous Jeep does not get scuffed.
Jeeps have long been renowned for their ability to handle the great outdoors, and the Wrangler 4xe is no exception to that trend. The only difference? It’s now bringing a bit more electric power to your adventures. Massachusetts has a lot of parks and trails that you can venture through, and with the Wrangler 4xe, you’ll find you’re unstoppable. Places like October Mountain State Forest and Pittsfield State Forest will become more enjoyable than ever before.
There’s an additional positive, though. No doubt those of you who have driven around western Mass know that some roads can become less than pleasant; some are little more than dirt paths. By owning a powerful Jeep like this, you’re assuring yourself you’ll be able to handle any road you come across. There won’t be any unforeseen obstacles in your day.
Cargo Room for All Circumstances
If you’re on the road a lot, you’re probably bringing a bit of gear with you. Whether it’s because you’re regularly traveling to see friends and family or because you have to hit the pavement often for work, you want to know that your ride can store what you need it to. The Wrangler 4xe has plenty of cargo volume for its drivers to use, with 27.7 cu.ft. in the trunk. As a bonus, if you fold the rear row down, you get a lot more volume at 67.4 cu.ft.
You also have solid towing. Yep, you can hitch a small trailer to your Wrangler 4xe so long as what you’re hitching does not exceed 3,500 lbs. This works perfectly if you’re transporting heavier materials around Massachusetts and they don’t fit inside your Wrangler 4xe. Thanks to that great plug-in hybrid powertrain, you’ll be able to roar down the road with total confidence when you’re towing, including if and when the road turns rough.
