Detroit 2022: Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe Becomes Model Lineup’s New Entry-Level PHEV

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe lineup of electrified SUVs is now larger by one, with the introduction this morning of the Wrangler Willys 4xe. Overtly aimed at pleasing sentimentalists, the new variant is “heritage-inspired”, as its maker put it. It also represents the new base-level model for the Wrangler 4xe range.

“Jeep Wrangler 4xe customers looking for the ultimate combination of capability and electrification, with a vintage twist, can now have it …. The debut of the new heritage-inspired 2023 Wrangler Willys 4xe pairs 49 MPGe, 470 lb.-ft. of torque with unmatched Jeep capability, a 2.72:1 4WD low range ratio, heavy-duty Dana 44 axles and a new entry price point to the 2023 model year Wrangler 4xe lineup, which continues to be the best-selling plug-in hybrid in America.”

- Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America

The model is identifiable by the “Willys” decal on the hood, and of course it being a 4xe electric vehicle it also gets the signature Electric Blue trim, as well as an “Electric 4-Wheel Drive” decal on the swing gate.
