Jeep 2.0L PHEV (4xe) Vehicles in Western PA

For drivers in Western Pennsylvania, the Jeep 2.0L Plug-In Hybrid (4xe) powertrain has redefined what it means to drive an off-road vehicle. You no longer have to choose between the torque needed to climb muddy trails in Butler County and the efficiency required for your daily commute to Pittsburgh.

This advanced system combines a turbocharged gas engine with two electric motors. It delivers more torque than the standard V6 or V8 gas engines, providing instant power for merging onto I-79 or crawling over rocks. You can handle daily errands in Cranberry Township on pure electricity, then use the gas engine for long road trips without range anxiety.

2.0L PHEV 4xe Specs

The 4xe system uses a 2.0L Turbo I4 engine paired with a 17 kWh battery pack and electric motors. This combination creates the most powerful standard engine option currently available in the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee lineup.

Expert Insight:

E-Selec Driving Modes

The 4xe system gives you control over how you use your power with three distinct "E-Selec" buttons on the dash.

Hybrid Mode: The default setting. It blends torque from the gas engine and electric motors. It prioritizes battery power first, then adds gas power when you need more acceleration.

Electric Mode: The vehicle runs on zero-emission electric power until the battery reaches minimum charge or you floor the throttle for extra speed.

E-Save Mode: This locks out the electric motors to save your battery charge for later use (like silent off-roading). It runs strictly on the gas engine.

Available Models with the 2.0L PHEV (4xe)

This powertrain is the premium option for Jeep's two most iconic vehicles.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe

Jeep Wrangler 4xe (2021 – Present):

The best-selling plug-in hybrid in America. It retains all the legendary off-road capability of the gas Wrangler, including water fording, but adds instant electric torque for crawling.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (2022 – Present):

This brings luxury and efficiency together. It offers 6,000 lbs of towing capacity and can drive the "Trail of the Dragon" or your local school run on battery power alone.

Why Buy a 2.0L PHEV from Us?

Buying a used Plug-In Hybrid requires confidence in the battery and complex electronics. A private seller likely cannot verify if the software is up to date or if the high-voltage cooling system is functioning correctly.

We verify the electrification systems so you don't have to guess. At Mike Kelly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we minimize the risk of buying electrified performance.

Owner’s Corner: Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips

The 4xe is a high-tech machine. Keep it peak-ready with these tips from the Mike Kelly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Service Center:

Owner’s Corner: Maintenance Mike Kelly Pro-Tips
  • Oil Refresh Mode: If you drive mostly on electric power, the gas engine will eventually run automatically to circulate oil and burn off stale fuel. This is normal behavior, let it complete its cycle.
  • Correct Oil Viscosity: The 2.0L Turbo engine in the 4xe requires 5W-30 Synthetic Oil. Do not use standard 5W-20, as the turbo creates higher heat and pressure.
  • Plug In Often: To get the full 375 horsepower and 49+ MPGe, you need battery charge. We recommend plugging in overnight so you always have maximum power available in the morning.
