The Jeep Gladiator is getting a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option called the Gladiator 4xe, slated for release sometime in 2025.
- Jeep is expected to equip the Gladiator 4xe with the same powertrain as the Wrangler 4xe. That means a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and a 17.0-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This setup delivers a combined output of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque in the Wrangler, making it the most powerful Gladiator variant available. The Wrangler 4xe achieves over 21 miles of electric range, so the Gladiator 4xe is likely to offer a similar range.
- The cabin will likely borrow heavily from the Wrangler, expect a driver-centric layout with comfortable seating for five and featuring a large 12.3-inch touchscreen.
- The exterior should stay true to Jeep’s iconic design with the boxy silhouette, open-air options, and a versatile bed.
- While the 2024 Gladiator redesign might influence the instrument cluster and overall look, specifics are yet to be revealed. Pricing information is also unavailable, though considering the Wrangler 4xe starts around $52,000, expect the Gladiator 4xe to be similarly priced.
