Jeep Wrangler Plug-In Hybrid Reliability by Year

Every Wrangler Plug-In Hybrid model year from 2021 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Compact SUV of the same year.

Scored separately as its own vehicle: Wrangler (2004–2025).

The short answer

Across 4 scored model years the Wrangler Plug-In Hybrid rarely gives trouble, but repairs run costlier than average when it does. The spread between years is what matters: 2025 is its strongest, 2023 its weakest.

Every model year, scored

Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Compact SUV sold that same model year.

What tends to break

All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.

Every Wrangler Plug-In Hybrid model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Compact SUV of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.

Across the last three model years (2022–2025), the trouble concentrates in one place: steering & suspension. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Compact SUV of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.

How this was built. Scores derive from failure reports filed with NHTSA — submitted by vehicle owners and repair shops alike — weighted against US sales volumes and benchmarked within segment and model year. We measure two separate things: Fix Frequency — how often a vehicle needs fixing — and Fix Severity — how costly those fixes are. These figures describe a model line, not the specific vehicle in front of you; trim, mileage and service history still decide an individual car.
