What we've done is given this iconic jeep wrangler an advanced 4 by e eco-friendly plug-in hybrid
solution the customer gets what they expect a quiet open-air freedom a more fun to drive
on-road experience and a new level of benchmark off-road capability overall the wrangler 4 by e
is going to be rated at 375 combined horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque so let's talk about
the powertrain and some of the components first it starts up front with our high-efficiency 2.0 liter
turbocharged four-cylinder engine it's a direct inject engine with a twin scroll low inertia
turbocharger we're building on the technology we introduced a few years ago with our e-torque
and on the front of the engine we have a belted starter generator that delivers additional torque
to the front of the engine through the crankshaft it even eliminates the need for an old-fashioned
mechanical starter then behind the engine we have in our transmission we've installed a high voltage
motor generator unit that replaces the traditional torque converter a clutch
delivers the torque from the engine through the transmission in various different modes
when the clutch is open the motor drives a transmission in full electric operation
now to power all this we put on board a 400 volt battery pack and energy comes from 96 of these
lithium ion nmc chemistry cells and this battery pack is mounted underneath the second row seat
to protect it not underneath the vehicle where some other battery packs are mounted we wanted
the jeep to be a jeep the powertrain system delivers up to 25 miles of all electric range
that 25 miles covers the most daily needs of many of our customers but even when you're not
in ev mode the wrangler 4x8 can operate as a high efficiency hybrid eliminating any ev range anxiety
the total range is nearly 400 miles when fully charged at the start
the wrangler 4 by e will give the customer drive mode choices also with what we call eselect
there's three selection modes hybrid which is the default when you get in turn it on electric only
and then we have an e-save mode which conserves the battery and charges it as you drive along in
case you want to use it for later use the wrangler 4 by e can also maximize regenerative energy by
use of a driver selectable max regen button this feature allows you to work with normal regen which
feels like your normal brakes that you use or a little more aggressive regen so you can
capture all that energy from the four wheels on the vehicle the wrangler 4x8 has all of
the jeep wranglers legendary off-road capabilities including a dana 44 axle on the front and the rear
the four by ease unique all-wheel drive transfer case is adding a two-high select mode to allow
you to improve even more fuel economy if you're on the highway you know we've logged over 1.4
million miles of real world on-road and off-road validation in all the corners of the world to make
sure it's ready we want to make sure this do anything wrangler does everything we promised
