What is the proper way to say this ...

[Yogi]

The 4xe
Is it pronounced Four Ex E or Four By E?
Personally I prefer Four Ex E

Well you're Canadian so you'll have to factor in the exchange rate for X.

Per Stellantis, 4byE

Which makes sense, I guess. You pronounce 4x4 "4 by 4", not "4 ex 4".

Since you're Canadian you should call it the "four by eh?" Then ask someone if they've seen your swimmers, cause you need to relax after working hard on a pro-ject!

Fourski.

There's actually no way to translate it simply or directly from the original Italian. The closest translation would be "too expensive for what it really is or how it can really perform as what it's supposed to be."

You're the one writing the check, call it whatever you want.

Well, that depends; if you were a Bronco owner, you’d say “my truck is sixteen...”

You have to know that Four By E is just going to get shortened up to Four BYE. Either way it just doesn't sound as eloquent as Four Ex E ... at least to me anyways.
Besides, kind of commemorates my Ex wife !!! ... LOL

Even after hearing different Jeep reps call it 4-by-E, I still read it in my head as 4-ex-E (think I've only ever mentioned it in conversation once or twice, and still 4-ex-E).

I call them 4 x e, shrug, just the way it translates in my mind. Never really considered 4 by E.

But 4 by E makes sense now that you guys have brought it up!

 

[Wkaz]

4 by , Aye!

 

[Krones]

I like to think the 'e' stands for Euler's number, but 10.8731273138 takes up too much room on the tailgate.

 

[rkwfxd]

I pronounce it as 4xe
