Overview

Competing in the compact SUV class, the 2020 Jeep Wrangler hybrid goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Toyota RAV4 hybrid, the Ford Escape hybrid, and the Honda CR-V hybrid. Spread across 3 trims, the Jeep Wrangler hybrid starts off at a base price of MSRP of $44,465 and carries on to $49,750. Not all trims are built equally, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. The engine on service here is a familiar 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine supported by a mild-hybrid electric system. The combined fuel economy at 21 MPG makes the increase in sticker price worth it. Therefore, even the likes of industry stalwarts "Edmunds" consider the Wrangler 4Xe a "hoot to drive". Have a look at what more they have to say in the video below. 

Buying Advice

The Rubicon Recon is the best choice for off-roaders who want a hybrid powertrain. In all the trim options available with the hybrid powertrain, Rubicon Recon packs in some decent luxury features and technologies you would want for this price. The combination of Rubicon's off-roading dominance and the hybrid efficiency is what makes this trim a unique yet valuable proposition for off-roading enthusiasts.
