Which will take you further into the wilderness, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid or the Hummer EV? Before you choose between these rugged SUVs, there’s a lot to consider. Let’s take a look.
Price Tag: 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
To save money, choose the Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid. Depending on which trim model you select, the MSRP ranges from $49,805 to $55,380. The 2022 Hummer EV is much pricier, starting at $108,700.
Overall Power: 2022 Hummer EV
The upcoming Hummer EV produces an insane amount of battery power. With 830 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque, this electric SUV goes from zero to 60 mph in just 3 seconds.
Under the Jeep Wrangler 4xe hood, you’ll find a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s paired with a battery-powered motor. Together, engine and motor make a total of 375 horsepower. You can get 21 miles of all-electric performance out of the powertrain before it switches to hybrid mode. If you recharge the battery regularly, this feature can help you save money on gas.
Off-Road Performance: 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
The Wrangler is still the king of off-road terrain. This plug-in hybrid was specially designed to move through mud, sleet, and rocks with ease. Compared to the Hummer EV, the Wrangler’s smaller, midsize frame is much nimbler in a tight spot. Like other Wranglers, a wide range of upgrades are available to enhance off-road performance, such as all-terrain tires and locking front and rear differentials.
Because of its massive size, the Hummer EV isn’t as maneuverable as the Wrangler 4xe, something that may be cause for concern in difficult off-road terrain. However, the Hummer EV does have some coveted off-road capabilities, including up to 15.9 inches of ground clearance. And, like the Wrangler 4xe, the Hummer EV comes standard with off-road-ready four-wheel drive.
Modern Features: It’s a Tie!
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Hummer EV share a parent company in General Motors, which means they use a lot of the same technology. Both models offer digital driver information displays and touchscreen infotainment systems, for example.
Each model has its own unique tech features, too. With the Wrangler’s Sky One-Touch Power Top, you can transform this SUV into a convertible with minimal effort. The Hummer EV, like other EVs, offers its own self-driving system, called Super Cruise.

In the end, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe gives you more to love. With its attainable price tag, world-class off-roading capabilities, and gas-saving performance, this Wrangler is everything you want in a plug-in hybrid.
