According to the jury, the visionary Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid is the best 4x4 from the 2022 Women's World Car of the Year (WWCOTY) awards. At the WWCOTY, the vehicles are evaluated according to the criteria of safety, handling, comfort, technology, design, efficiency, environmental compatibility, and value for money. In addition, the award judges praised the new Wrangler 4xe for its contribution to sustainability.
"With the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, the Jeep brand has taken a huge step forward in many ways, but the most important is its commitment to a more sustainable environment," said Marta García, Executive President of WWCOTY. "It is very satisfying that one of the true SUVs on the market has opted for hybridization. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe's commitment to the environment is a key value for the Women's World Car of the Year."
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has an all-electric range of up to 53 km in the city for locally emission-free and quiet driving, making it an electric vehicle suitable for everyday use without range anxiety. In addition, it is unique with its ability to be purely electric and almost noiseless off-road, to overcome the most demanding obstacles and all this if necessary without a roof or doors in the open air. Only a Jeep Wrangler can offer this combination.
"We are pleased that the WWCOTY judges acknowledged the significant strides the Jeep brand is making in electrifying its vehicles around the world to achieve its vision of zero-emission freedom," said Christian Meunier, Jeep's Chief Executive Officer. "This Women's World Car Award is further validation that electrification is expanding the core capabilities of our Jeep cars. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is a clear example that you can have the best of both worlds: legendary Jeep capabilities and open-air fun combined in an electrified and sustainable package that allows one to enjoy the great outdoors in a sublime silence."
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe's 280 kW (380 hp) hybrid powertrain combines a 2-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine with two electric motors, a high-voltage battery pack, and a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. The torque of the electric motors in the Wrangler 4xe is immediately available on demand. The powertrain also enables efficient, seamless engine start-stop operation.
