Jeep Wrangler 4xe Discontinued: What Ontario Shoppers Should Know
Yes — the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is discontinued. The 2025 model year was its last, and there is no 2026 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. Parent company Stellantis has confirmed it is phasing out all plug-in hybrid (PHEV) programs in North America beginning with the 2026 model year, shifting instead toward conventional hybrids and range-extended electric vehicles. The good news for Wrangler fans: the Wrangler itself is not going anywhere — only the plug-in 4xe variant is ending.
If you have been shopping in Ontario, Corona, or Riverside with a plug-in Wrangler in mind, here is a straight look at why it is ending, what it means for your options, and what to know if you already own one or are considering a used 4xe.
Why the 4xe Is Going Away
Two forces converged at the same time. First, Stellantis is stepping back from plug-in hybrids across its entire U.S. lineup. The same decision that ends the Wrangler 4xe also discontinues the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe and the Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid, as the company redirects its electrification efforts toward conventional hybrids and range-extended vehicles.
Second, the 4xe had a difficult final stretch. In November 2025, Chrysler issued a recall covering 320,065 Jeep plug-in hybrids — including 228,221 Wrangler 4xe SUVs from the 2020 through 2025 model years — over a high-voltage battery defect that could cause a fire whether the vehicle was parked or being driven. Owners were advised to park outside, away from structures, and not to charge until a remedy was completed. You can look up an individual vehicle by VIN through the NHTSA recalls tool. It was the third recall for the same underlying battery issue, and new 4xe models were caught in the resulting stop-sale. (Recall figures per NHTSA Campaign 25V-741.)
What Continues for 2026
The Wrangler lives on for 2026 — just without the plug. The lineup offers a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder (270 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque), a 3.6L Pentastar V6 (285 horsepower), and a 6.4L SRT HEMI V8 (470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft) available in limited-edition models — the Moab 392, which replaced the Rubicon 392 that Jeep retired after 2025, and the newer Wrangler Willys 392. When properly equipped, the V6 and turbo-four can tow up to 5,000 pounds, giving buyers who need a brand-new Wrangler a capable, straightforward path forward.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Your Options as an Ontario Shopper
Depending on what you are after, you have three realistic paths:
Remaining new 2025 4xe. Supply is limited, and these units were subject to the recall and stop-sale — so confirm the recall remedy has been completed before you commit.
Used or Certified Pre-Owned 4xe. This is the more realistic route now. Before buying, check the VIN for open recalls and make sure the battery remedy has been performed. You can start with our used vehicle inventory.
A new 2026 gas Wrangler. The most direct way to drive home a brand-new Wrangler, with the gas engine lineup described above.
What the 2025 Wrangler 4xe Offered

Where Jeep’s Electrification Goes Next
Jeep is not abandoning electrification — it is changing its approach. The trail-rated Recon EV delivers 650 horsepower, complete with removable doors and windows for the open-air feel Wrangler owners love. Alongside it, the company is leaning into conventional hybrids and range-extended EVs. No plug-in Wrangler is currently planned.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Jeep Wrangler discontinued?
No — only the 4xe plug-in hybrid variant. The gasoline-powered Wrangler continues for 2026 with V6, turbo four-cylinder, and V8 engine options.
Can I still buy a new Wrangler 4xe?
Only limited remaining 2025 stock may exist, and those units were subject to a recall and stop-sale, so a used 4xe is the more realistic route. Confirm the recall remedy has been completed first.
I own a 4xe — what about the recall?
Park the vehicle outside and away from structures, and do not charge it until the remedy is done. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov to confirm recall status. Recall repairs are performed free of charge.
Will the Wrangler 4xe come back?
No plug-in Wrangler has been confirmed.
