Why is there a hybrid Wrangler?
Slowly, the high-performance world is embracing hybrid technology. Of course, people think of wimpy vehicles when they think of hybrids, but in the last two decades, some of the most powerful supercars have been hybrids, and they are doing it for pure performance.
Hybrids are good for supercars, that much has been established, but why put it in a truck or even an off-road machine like the Wrangler. The answer is simple. An electric motor, which a hybrid drivetrain employs, provides instant torque from a dead stop. Anyone who has ever been off-roading will know how appealing the idea of torque at a dead stop truly is especially when even a diesel engine, which is known for low-end torque, will need to rev-up a bit to get there.
