We receive many questions from customers making this choice, and this article is an opportunity to compare them and point out the notable differences. The first notable difference when comparing the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe vs 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the trim selection. The 2022 model is available in the Sahara, Rubicon and High Altitude trim levels. The 2023 model is also available the new base Willys trim level.
A defining characteristic of the Wrangler is the option to remove the roof and the doors. There are a wide range of hard and soft tops to choose, and those options are the same across both the 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. With the 2022 model, the Wrangle has 17-inch alloy wheels with the Rubicon and 18-inch wheels with either the Sahara or High Altitude. A notable update for 2023 is that the Rubicon now gets 18-inch wheels with a special design. The Sahara and High Altitude have been upgraded to 20-inch wheels, and the new Willys model gets 17-inch steel wheels.
With the standard Wrangler, the Willys is a dressed-up version of the base trim. The 4xe is a more upscale model, so even with this base trim, you get premium cloth upholstery, zoned automatic climate control, Alpine audio and many other amenities. For the 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, synthetic leather upholstery was an option. With the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, it’s included with the Sahara and Rubicon. You can also opt for genuine leather upholstery or have it included by selecting the High Altitude.
Powertrain is a focal point for many customers comparing the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe vs 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, and it’s important to note that the hybrid powertrain has been carried forward without any notable changes. This system combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, dual electric motors and a battery pack. Combined output is 375 hp and 470 lb.-ft., and if you opt for the trailering option, you can tow as much as 6,000 pounds. All models provide full-time four-wheel drive. There are also three driver-selectable modes. Hybrid is the standard mode and seeks to balance performance and fuel economy. Electric allows you to operate only on electric power, which you can do for about 21 miles, and the eSave mode lets you conserve battery power.
All 4xe models offered through Fowler Jeep of Boulder have the Uconnect 4 infotainment system. One change for 2023 is that Jeep has introduced a 7-inch touch screen for use in the Willys. The 8.4-inch touch screen with navigation is optional and still standard with the Sahara and up. Jeep ops to make the advanced driver assist optional to keep the MSRP lower and to avoid forcing customers who don’t want them to pay for them.
