Industry Update

The Jeep Wrangler is famous for its ability to tackle brutal off-road conditions. It's also known for the fact that, generally, it doesn't change too much. Today's flat-sided Wrangler is clearly a descendant of the boxy Jeep that slogged through the battlefields of World War II. But Jeep will soon undergo one of the biggest transformations of its 79-year history. At the CES technology show in Las Vegas next week, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will unveil plug-in hybrid versions of the Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee and Compass. The plug-in models will bear a new 4xe badge, which is a play on the term 4x4 used to denote four-wheel-drive vehicles. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley has said previously that a plug-in hybrid Wrangler will go on sale later in 2020.
