Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe: Plug-in Hybrid Repair

Jeep's 4xe plug-in hybrids add high-voltage batteries to off-road vehicles. Learn what that means for collision and trail damage repairs.

Jeep Goes Electric Off-Road

Jeep's 4xe models, including the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe, combine a gasoline engine with electric motors and a high-voltage battery. Jeep has also introduced fully electric models such as the Wagoneer S. These vehicles bring new considerations to collision repair.

Where the Battery Lives

On the Wrangler 4xe, the battery pack sits beneath the rear seat. Battery location differs on other models. Knowing the exact location helps technicians plan cuts, welds and heat around the pack.

Safety First

High-voltage systems are disabled following Jeep's procedures before repairs begin. Technicians verify the system is safe and protect orange high-voltage cables near the repair area.

Off-Road Impacts

4xe vehicles are still Trail Rated where designated, so they may see rock strikes and underbody hits. After trail damage, we inspect high-voltage cabling, skid plates and battery protection in addition to the frame and suspension.

Charging Components

The charge port on the Wrangler 4xe sits on the driver's side near the front. Front-quarter impacts can damage it. We test charging after repairs in that area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I off-road a 4xe after a repair?

Once repaired and inspected, yes. Make sure all underbody protection is restored.

Is a 4xe more expensive to repair?

Repairs near high-voltage parts can take longer, which may increase cost.

Are you trained on Jeep plug-ins?

Yes. Our Jeep certification covers electrified models.
