Jeep Cancels Gladiator 4xe, Shifts Investment to Features and ICE Options

Jeep attributes the decision to shifting propulsion preferences, redirecting funding to factory features, customization, plus new internal-combustion options.

Overview

  • Stellantis confirmed to multiple outlets that the electrified Gladiator will not be produced, removing the 4xe variant from Jeep’s lineup.
  • Suppliers were notified the program is canceled effective immediately, ending related development and agreements.
  • The plug-in hybrid had been slated for a 2025 debut and was expected to mirror the Wrangler 4xe setup with a roughly 17 kWh battery, about 375 hp, and around 20 miles of EV range.
  • The move aligns with recent product shifts at Stellantis, including scrapping Ram’s battery-electric full-size pickup in favor of a range-extended alternative.
  • Jeep says Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe remain on sale as it prepares more Gladiator factory content and additional non-electrified powertrain choices.
