The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime offer hybrid-electric powertrains that provide better fuel efficiency and lower emissions than their all-gas peers. Do you need to sacrifice performance if you opt for one of these two thrifty SUVs?
Â
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe stands out in this comparison, thanks to the combination of a turbocharged engine and a 17 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The hybrid system also includes E-Selec driving modes, which you can use to increase muscle or efficiency, if needed. With these settings, you can alter the powertrain to get up to 595 km of total range or tow as much as 1,588 kg.Â
And to ensure every bit of performance reaches the wheels, the Wrangler 4xe boasts an electro-hydraulic power assist steering system. It combines the solid feel of a standard setup and the efficiency gains that come from using motors instead of siphoning energy off of the engine.
