While the Wrangler is a relatively new breed of Jeep, its CJ predecessor goes back nearly a century. An evolution of the Willys-Overland MB, the first CJs gave off-road enthusiasts and farmers a rugged machine much like the ones they may have used to climb over ruts and obstacles in Europe.
The CJ kept seeing updates over the years until the Wrangler arrived in the 1980s.
Keeping with tradition, Jeep’s Wrangler is seeing timely updates, too. Taking the Wrangler into the modern, fuel-conscious marketplace, the folks at Jeep have turned the off-roading Wrangler into a plug-in hybrid with the introduction of the Wrangler 4xe. This powertrain blends a pair of electric motors with a turbocharged 2.0-litre I4 mill. This powertrain combines to send 375 hp to the wheels.
