In California, Jeep is currently offering a 2023 Wrangler 4xe lease for about $100 less per month than one of the comparable non-hybrid Wranglers with a lower sticker price.
Looking at the total effective monthly cost (including cash at signing), the deal was discovered by CarsLive up to $399 a month for 36 months with $4,499 on contract with 4xe in the top-of-the-range Willys, compared to $531 a month for 42 months at $3,995 on a basic Sport Unlimited contract. That equates to an effective monthly cost of $524 for the Wrangler 4xe lease, compared to $626 for the base non-hybrid.
Even more shocking is the difference between those two deals in the actual sticker price: The Wrangler Willys 4xe starts at $56,530, including $1,795 destination, and according to CarsDirect, the rental example applies to a $60,115 SUV. On the other hand, the non-hybrid Unlimited Sport with a higher rent costs only $36,990.

Costs in other states may be higher; Jeep clarified that the California deal includes an additional $3,500 incentive.
The majority of behind-the-scenes rental discounts take place through the Commercial Electric Vehicle Tax Credit. While it peaks at 15% of the purchase price for a plug-in hybrid, it will have a maximum value of $7,500 in the calculation no matter which Wrangler 4xe you choose, even considering the lower base price of $51,790 for 2024.
