If you want to compare the 4xe to the base-model Wrangler, it comes with a $20,000 higher price tag, a slightly smaller engine, a fractionally smaller fuel tank, and more towing capacity. That extra money is there for the extra tech required to install and power the battery.
The biggest differences compared to the traditional Wrangler? The 4xe is about 770 pounds heavier due to the battery, but the battery’s position actually lowers the center of mass and shifts the weight distribution to a near-perfect 50:50.

Otherwise, the Wrangler 4xe I drove had the usual list of specs you know and love: Dana 44 axles, a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, electronic front- and rear-axle lockers, an electronically-disconnecting sway bar, and 17-inch wheels outfitted with 33-inch off-road tires. The goods.
