The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Unlimited Rubicon and Kia Niro PHEV earn headlines for their fuel economy and low emissions. However, they are still SUVs, and owners will expect them to handle all sorts of conditions. Do the drivetrains of these two vehicles match those of their all-gas peers?Â

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe Unlimited Rubicon stands out because of its 4x4 drivetrain. The Rock Trac Full-Time 4WD has a two-speed transfer case with a high-torque setting for steep or slippery terrain. Furthermore, its off-road tires are ideal for both trails and challenging conditions on the pavement.Â
There are rock protection sill rails installed to prevent scraping up of the 4x4, as do the fuel tank, transfer case, and transmission skid plates. Plus, the machined aluminum wheels with Black pockets are sure to withstand even the toughest of outdoor conditions.

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Kia Niro PHEV are both plug-in hybrid SUVs. Such vehicles offer more efficient operation than their all-gas peers, but they sometimes require you to sacrifice power. Is that the case with these two autos? Jeep Wrangler 4xe
Engine Type: 2.0L Turbo PHEV
Battery Size: 400-volt 17-kWh Li-ion
Horsepower: 375
Torque: 470 lb-ft
Drive Type: AWD
Â
Kira Niro PHEV
Engine Type: 1.6L GDI PHEV
Battery Size: 240-volt 1.56 kWh Li-ion
Horsepower: 139
Torque: 195 lb-ft
Drive Type: FWD
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is far superior in this comparison because it combines a turbocharged engine and a powerful battery pack. The SUV also offers an eight-speed automatic transmission with a Selec-Trac full-time AWD system and a regenerative brake booster. This muscle and these features provide extra utility, including a 1,588-kg towing capacity.Â
As a result, you can take full advantage of the 595 km driving range, or use the whisper-quiet 34 km all-electric travelling capacity to explore nature while leaving it totally undisturbed. Either way, the battery can be recharged via a 120V or 240V power outlet or the engine itself.
