Wrangler terrible fuel consumption ?
Hey everyone in the Wrangler community,
I’ve always dreamed of owning an off-road car like a Jeep Wrangler. I even started saving money for one because I really love its rugged and aggressive look.
The other day at the supermarket, I saw someone in the parking lot with a Wrangler 4xe (the hybrid). I went over and started chatting with him about the car.
We talked for a while, and he told me that while the Wrangler looks amazing, it also comes with some downsides. The main issue he mentioned was the fuel consumption — he said it’s pretty terrible. According to him, it uses around 18L/100km (about 4.75 gallons for the US folks).
He actually didn’t recommend buying it and said he was pretty happy to sell his.
So now I’m a bit unsure…
Is he exaggerating, or is that actually realistic?
Why would you recommend (or not recommend) buying a Wrangler?
