2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Milwaukee, WI

In September 2020, the Jeep brand revealed its global electric lineup to an excited audience. With electrified 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. The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe model aims to keep these tenets of the standard Wrangler model while also providing electric efficiency, zero-emissions, and a near-silent driving experience for comfort and calm whenever drivers aren’t venturing off the guided trail. So, is the Wrangler 4xe model successful in this endeavor? Today, here at Palmen Motors of Kenosha, Wisconsin, we’ll take an in-depth look at the upcoming and electrified 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe PHEV model!
