The news, confirmed by Filosa in a post on LinkedIn, comes shortly after Jeep updated the Gladiator for the 2024 model year, with a slightly adjusted grille and a new 12.3-inch touchscreen.
Although Filosa did not provide further details in the announcement, the Gladiator 4xe, which will be a plug-in hybrid, is expected to use the same powertrain as the Wrangler 4xe, which combines a 270-horsepower four-cylinder engine with a 375-horsepower electric motor.
Additionally, the Wrangler 4xe still features a 17.0 kWh lithium-ion battery offering over 34 kilometers of range. The Gladiator 4xe is not expected to be much different from this, according to a report from Car and Driver, as the Gladiator is essentially a pickup version of the Wrangler.
According to a report from Motor 1, considering that the 2024 Wrangler 4xe starts at $52,554, the price of the Gladiator 4xe would be just under $60,000. However, it is still too early to tell. Full details of the Gladiator 4xe are expected to arrive later this year.
