No vehicle in history has symbolized the spirit of adventure nearly as much as the Jeep Wrangler. Let’s see what this amazing off-roader brings to your drive.
The Wrangler is ubiquitous with open-top driving thanks to the removable doors and roof that allow the sun to shine in. This amazing Jeep SUV is just as likely to be found next to a remote beach where surfers enjoy the waves as it is on the muddy trails in the wilderness around mountains and through forests. The Wrangler is the ultimate adventure vehicle, making deep-ranging off-road fun a possibility.
Trims and powertrains galore
The 2024 version of the Wrangler has seven trims and comes in both two and four-door configurations. This off-road SUV also has four different powertrains, including the 4xe plug-in hybrid system. All Jeep Wranglers have standard 4WD for your off-road fun.
The standard powertrain uses the venerable 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that can be had with either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission. Move up the powertrain lineup, and you find a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission while the 6.4-liter V8 delivers 470 horsepower for the Rubicon 392 model. The 4xe model uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine plus an electric motor to deliver 21 miles of all-electric driving range and plenty of power for the drive.
