What Are the Jeep 4xe Driving Modes?

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe driving through a tunnel

The Jeep lineup now features two plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) models: the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. While a conventional hybrid vehicle has a single driving mode that combines electric and gasoline power, these PHEVs have three modes:

  • In Electric Mode, the Jeep 4xe runs on 100% battery power.
  • Jeep 4xe Hybrid Mode works like a hybrid vehicle powertrain, combining the forces of a battery and a combustion engine.
  • Jeep 4xe eSave Mode kicks in when electric power runs low, powering the vehicle with the combustion engine while reserving battery power for later use.

In short, that’s the kind of versatility that San Bernardino drivers are sure to love about Jeep 4xe models! Ready to learn more? Fontana Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM’s guide below breaks down how far you can go in each of the 4xe driving modes.

 


Jeep 4xe Hybrid Mode

Not only can you maximize the Jeep Wrangler 4xe mpg in Hybrid Mode, but you don’t need to worry about plugging in and charging your vehicle when electric power runs out. At that point, the vehicle automatically shifts over to eSave Mode. The Jeep 4xe Hybrid Mode is the default setting for 4xe models, and it provides a great balance of rapid acceleration, horsepower, instant torque, and efficiency.

So, how far can you go in Hybrid Mode? The Jeep Wrangler 4xe mpg in Hybrid Mode reaches 49 miles per gallon/kilowatt.

Jeep 4xe Electric Mode

As long as the electric battery charge level is at 1% or above, the Jeep 4xe can run on 100% electric power. In other words, your travels through Rancho Cucamonga will be nearly free of tailpipe emissions! The Jeep Wrangler 4xe can drive for up to 21 miles in Electric Mode.

Jeep 4xe eSave Mode

In Jeep 4xe eSave Mode, the combustion engine provides most of the power. However, the engine will shut off automatically when power demand is low. Switching to eSave mode is a good idea if you’re trying to save power for a trip later in the day without stopping to plug in and charge. When driving the Jeep 4xe in eSave Mode, gas mileage is 20 combined mpg for both city and highway.

Jeep 4xe Regenerative Braking Technology

Regenerative Braking is an innovative feature that charges the 4xe electric battery when the vehicle is decelerating and braking. This allows Claremont drivers to recoup a small amount of battery power without stopping for a charge! It also offers the benefit of slowing the vehicle without pressing the brake pedal. This feature stays selected unless you opt to turn it off.
