First of all I'm well aware no one buys a Wrangler for acceleration but I remember the 4XE debut reveal and seeing that Jeep claimed 6.0 seconds 0-60mph which I though is pretty damn good in a big heavy box made for off-roading.
The numbers showed 375 horsepower and 470tq which is just a monster torque number and a lot of it would be instant torque from the electric motors. Sounds like an awesome combo.
My wife recently picked up a 21 Willys unlimited with the 2.0 4cyl turbo and when I drove it I was pretty shocked at how well that motor moves that Jeep. When I looked it up many magazines and independent online sources show that combo doing 0-60mph is about 6.1 - 6.2 seconds.
How is that possible that the 4XE with 105hp more and 175 more tq, instant tq at that only equated to a .2 quicker 0-60 time? Either every source I found is wrong or i'm confused at what is going on there. Is it the extra weight of all the batteries and hardware make the power increase a wash?
