Jeep has two new models that double as tanning machines.
Jeep has unveiled the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Jeep Gladiator “Jeep Beach” models.
Yes, those are their very redundant names, but they live up to them.
The plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe is based on the Willys trim and gets a body-color hardtop with headliner, a sunrider flip top, Jeep Beach decals, Mopar Katzkin leathers seats with the Jeep Beach logo, 33-inch all-terrain tires, rock rails, a rear locking differential and other features to help it get through slippery surfaces.
JEEP GLADIATOR PICKUP PRICE CUT FOR 2024
It’s powered by the 4xe’s standard 375 hp powertrain, which combines a turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor and can provide up to 21 miles of all-electric driving when the battery is fully charged.

The 285 hp 3.6-liter V6-powered Gladiator is also based on the Willys trim and has a similar setup, but rides on 32-inch all-terrain tires and gets a spray-in bedliner.
Both models have been redesigned for 2024 and come standard with 12.3-inch infotainment system displays, adaptive cruise control and LED headlights. The vehicles are inspired by the annual Jeep Beach event that takes place in Daytona Beach, Fla., and is scheduled for April 19-28 this year.
