Top 10 reasons why you shouldn’t buy a Jeep Wrangler 4xe?

The concept behind the 4xe Wrangler is great. The American icon. In Hybrid.

Wranglers are not famous of their fuel economy, and who could say no to the promise of amazing MPG, power and torque competing with the Wrangler 392 specs on a significantly lower price point — especially considering the $7500 federal tax credit (yes, credit and not rebate nor incentive) + EV / PHEV incentives depending on state.

On top of this, the promise from Jeep comes bundled with silent driving without compromising the Wrangler capabilities. Of course, it is still a Wrangler with all its PROs and Cons.

It can crawl over rocks, it can cross rivers and will do a good job off-road (the Rubicon trim for sure with the sway-bar disconnect, front and rear lockers and proper all terrain tires from factory).
