This can operate independently or use the SUV’s engine in hybrid mode. Moreover, two new models are joining the 4xe lineup: the Sport S 4xe as the entry point and the more feature-rich Rubicon X at the high end.
Enhancements to Off-Roading Capabilities
The Rubicon model for 2024 has been enhanced with a full-float Dana rear axle, making it easier to accommodate larger off-road tires. Additionally, the Rubicon X variant introduces a Rock-Trac full-time transfer case, steel bumpers, an integrated off-road camera, and 35-inch BFGoodrich A/T tires.
