To stick to its electrification objectives, Jeep will stop marketing the 100% thermal Wrangler in Europe in 2022. It will be necessary to be satisfied with the 4xe model, equipped with a rechargeable hybrid engine. This one will also benefit in 2022 from some new features.
Farewell, thermal engines. The Stellantis group has announced that the Jeep Wrangler will only be offered in a plug-in hybrid version in Europe from 2022. What we confirm is that, the 9 inch oem Jeep Wrangler led headlights fit for the hybrid version as well. Called Wrangler 4xe, this version, already on the market since 2021, will undergo some improvements, particularly in terms of driving aids. driving available on board and customization options. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid edition 2022 will indeed be offered in two new body colors, called Silver Zynith Metallic Clear Coat and High Velocity Metallic Clear Coat. Each color is available in combination with a soft top as well as a black or body color hardtop. Note that a color rotation program among the Jeep range will allow customers of the brand to acquire the Wrangler in Tuscadero color until January 2022, then in Gobi color for a limited period from summer 2022. . The other novelty announced by Jeep for the Wrangler in 2022 is the arrival of a windshield made of resistant Corning Gorilla Glass protective glass in the catalog. This glass “uses the same chemical strengthening technology as cell phone screens,” says Stellantis. According to the automotive group, a combination of an inner layer of this ultra-thin glass and a 52% thicker outer layer “makes this windshield lightweight, durable and up to three times more shatter resistant, cracks and fractures caused by stones and off-road debris”. Practical, to ride off the beaten track without fear. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe will also be offered in 2022 with a new sunroof called Sunrider. This soft top in black twill fabric sits above the front row of the car, with the rest of the roof being hard. In terms of driving aids, Jeep adds automatic switching from high beam to low beam as well as high-speed collision warning equipped with advanced braking assistant and adaptive cruise control with stop. The 4x4 therefore retains its plug-in hybrid engine consisting of a 2.0 four-cylinder turbo engine associated with two electric motors and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Total power is now announced at 380 hp for 637 Nm of torque. The 0 to 100 km / h is shot in 6.4 seconds. A 100% electric mode is available, which allows the Jeep Wrangler 4xe to travel 50 kilometers without emissions. Jeep advertises that a full battery charge takes “less than three hours” with a 7.4 kWh charge. Jeep's choice to market only plug-in hybrid versions of its Wrangler in Europe is not thoughtless. By 2025, the American brand wants to achieve a target of 70% electrified models among its total sales. By purely and simply removing the engines without hybridization, there is no doubt that it should achieve this. In short It had to happen one day: Jeep will stop selling the Jeep Wrangler in thermal version in our regions. From 2022, only the Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid will be marketed in Europe. This model therefore benefits from some improvements, with new driving aids, new body colors, a Gorilla Glass windshield and a new sunroof.
