- Jeep’s CEO has revealed a Gladiator 4xe will arrive next year.
- The plug-in hybrid should have a combined output of 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.
- The model will likely cost around $52,000 and have around 20 miles of range.
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the best-selling plug-in hybrid in America and its powertrain will soon come to the Gladiator. Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa confirmed the news on LinkedIn as he said a Gladiator 4xe would arrive next year.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a”);
}
else{
adpushup.triggerAd(“6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657”);
} });
The executive didn’t go into specifics, but the model will undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of the Wrangler 4xe. This means we can expect a plug-in hybrid powertrain that features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a 17.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and an electric motor.

This setup enables the Wrangler 4xe to have a combined output of 375 hp (280 kW / 380 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. Besides being the second most powerful variant, the Wrangler 4xe can travel 21 miles on electricity alone.
window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push({
mode: ‘thumbnails-a-mid’,
container: ‘taboola-mid-article’,
placement: ‘Mid Article’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});
window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push({

container: ‘taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic’,
placement: ‘Mid Article Thumbnails Organic’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});
The Gladiator 4xe should be similar and will likely carry a hefty price tag. We can expect to learn more in the coming months, but the Wrangler Sport S 4xe starts at $50,695 and that’s a little over $10,000 more than the four-door Wrangler Sport S. If that pattern carries over to the Gladiator 4xe, the model would likely cost around $52,000.
That’s not cheap, but the Wrangler 4xe is eligible for a $3,750 federal tax credit. This suggests the Gladiator 4xe could also get the incentive, but only time will tell.
The plug-in hybrid powertrain will help fill an EcoDiesel-sized hole in the Gladiator’s engine lineup. Since the death of the mill last year, the mid-size truck has been offered exclusively with a 3.6-liter V6 developing 285 hp (213 kW / 289 PS) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque.
