In September 2020, the Jeep brand revealed its global electric lineup to an excited audience. With electric models of the Renegade and the Compass already confirmed for overseas but not coming to America, many USA drivers were more thrilled by the announcement of an electrified Jeep Wrangler, now confirmed for production in the United States. The official name of the model would be that of the upcoming 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe!
The Jeep Wrangler model is known as the ultimate experience of off-road capability as well as for its top-level durability when tackling the elements.
