Maybe you’ll get it in 2022 . J/k Glad the Bronco is here. Not my cup of tea, but competition is good for all of us.Done with Wranglers, getting a Bronco if it ever gets here.
I rarely plug in my 4xe and I get 21 mpg in almost entirely urban, short trip driving and I do not baby the throttle. In the same driving with my former Mustang ecoboost, I got 18 mpg. I find this very impressive. It's easy to overlook that the larger PHEV battery also allows for more peak power in short bursts, even when mostly depleted. I think this benefits real world mpg more than the EPA estimates.He starts out kind of bashing the 4Xe. (Paraphrasing) "It's not as efficient as other models unless you plug it in everyday". Well a lot of people can, and will plug it in everyday. I likely will not, and I don't care!
At the end he finally says what is, to me, the most important point, the 4Xe is second only to the 392 in terms of HP and torque. HP and torque are what I care about! If I want fuel efficiency, I'll buy a Prisius.
I don't buy Jeeps for fuel efficiency, I buy them because when customized with big tires, and other mods, they're the best looking and most bad ass 4x4s on the planet!
In all, I think it's a pretty fair review. Clearly made for the general public, not for people that know and understand what Jeeps are about.
You don't understand the point of the 4xe. But you immediately say you don't live in a city where you would commute with it?I don't understand the point of the 4XE, I get about 20mpg in my 21 JLUR and 17-18 in my 15JKsport and neither one carries the extra weight of the 4XE....I also don't live in a city where I would commute with it.
I explained in an earlier post: Hp and torque second only to the 392. It's not about mileage, at least for me. Not everything is about MPG.I don't understand the point of the 4XE, I get about 20mpg in my 21 JLUR and 17-18 in my 15JKsport and neither one carries the extra weight of the 4XE....I also don't live in a city where I would commute with it.
Do either of those have 375hp, 470lbs-ft of torque and a 0-60 time of 6 seconds?I don't understand the point of the 4XE, I get about 20mpg in my 21 JLUR and 17-18 in my 15JKsport and neither one carries the extra weight of the 4XE....I also don't live in a city where I would commute with it.
Bust out the Chart!You don't understand the point of the 4xe. But you immediately say you don't live in a city where you would commute with it?
Dunno champ, sounds like you understand it well enough.
I think the primary purpose is to reduce emissions. Many use cases are such where the vehicle can be driven entirely on electric power and the ICE engine rarely turns on. PHEVs are also "training wheels" for the transition to full BEV. Manufacturers and consumers can cut their teeth on PHEVs and then use what they learned when the full BEV models come available.I don't understand the point of the 4XE, I get about 20mpg in my 21 JLUR and 17-18 in my 15JKsport and neither one carries the extra weight of the 4XE....I also don't live in a city where I would commute with it.
OMG, plug it in Every. Single. Day.
I think you nailed it.I don't understand the point of the 4XE, I get about 20mpg in my 21 JLUR and 17-18 in my 15JKsport and neither one carries the extra weight of the 4XE....I also don't live in a city where I would commute with it.
