Your Dodge Dealership Presents the 2025 Jeep Wrangler vs. 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe

Powertrain and Towing

The gas-powered Wrangler has a standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, paired with a 6-speed manual or optional 8-speed automatic transmission. It can produce 285 hp, 260 lb-ft of torque, and carries a 5,000-lb maximum towing capacity. An optional 2.0L turbo engine adds additional hauling strength with 295 lb-ft of torque.

The Wrangler 4xe has a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that, when combined with the electric motors, produces 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Its sole gearbox is an 8-speed automatic. The hybrid Wrangler’s more powerful engine may be ideal for those significant off-roading power. The 4xe also offers fuel savings at the pump, as it has a driving range of 370 miles and fuel economy of 49 MPGe, which dominates the gas-powered Wrangler’s 25 MPG rating.

Interior and Cargo

Both Wranglers offer similar, though not identical, interior comforts and space, with the gas-powered Wrangler providing a slightly larger cargo volume of 72 cubic feet compared to the 4xe’s 67 cubic feet. The 4xe also has four-tenths of an inch less legroom than the standard Wrangler, a difference that is barely noticeable. Aside from those minor differences, both models seat 5 passengers comfortably, and have available power-adjustable, heated, and ventilated front seats.

Styling

Both Wrangler models have versatile styling options, including the ability to remove the top and doors for unencumbered open-air freedom. Top options include a body-colored or black hardtop, a black soft top, and a Sky one-touch power top. The Wrangler comes in a wide range of colors, including a new ’41 Green color. Trim options are the same for both models, with the exception of a limited-edition Backcountry trim for the Wrangler 4xe.

Technology

The gas-powered Wrangler and 4xe both come with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, which runs Jeep’s Uconnect 5 software. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard in all models, and an onboard navigation system with over 3000 trails can be added with a subscription. An available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot keeps you connected at all times, even when you’re far outside city limits.
