What's New
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler receives a mid-generation refresh that sees an available new design for the grille and wheels, an updated color palette, a larger infotainment touchscreen, an expanded application of safety equipment, upgraded axles on the Rubicon, and an even more capable Rubicon X trim. The 4xe model has a new lower trim trim level and the diesel engine has been dropped.
Choosing Your Jeep Wrangler
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler is available in eight trims, Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, High Altitude, and Rubicon 392. Base prices for the Wrangler range from $33,690 to $56,690 for the two-door, $37,690 to $89,390 for the four-door, and $51,790 to $70,880 for the four-door 4xe plug-in hybrid model.
Engine Choices
The Wrangler features a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual transmission on the two-door and four-door Sport, Sport S, and Rubicon trims. The Rubicon is the only trim to offer the V6 with extra-low 4.88 gearing ($995) and offer the V6 with an automatic although it requires a steep $4,500 upcharge. The automatic transmission in the Sport and Sport S trims is limited to a four-cylinder turbocharged engine ($2,500) and is standard on the premium Sahara and High Altitude trims. The Rubicon 392 is equipped with a 392-cubic inch V8 and an eight-speed automatic.
The 4xe powertrain pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and automatic with a 17.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that can provide enough juice for about 21 miles of EV driving. It can be recharged in about 2 hours at a Level 2 charging station or 12 hours from the included Level 1 (120-volt) charger. It is now available in the Sport trim with the Sport S package.
All Wranglers are equipped with a four-wheel drive system variant that best suits the trim’s intent. The Sport and Sahara feature a standard-duty part-time two-speed four-wheel-drive system while the Rubicon features a heavy-duty part-time system with lower gearing. A full-time 4WD system is available on the Sport and included on the Rubicon 392 and 4xe trims.
Engine Type | Trim | Horsepower / Torque | Fuel Economy (EPA Combined) |

2.0-liter I4 Turbo | Sahara, High Altitude | 270 hp / 295 lb-ft | 22 mpg |
2.0-liter I4 Turbo Dual-motor Plug-In Hybrid | Sport S 4xe, Willys 4xe, Rubicon 4xe | 375 hp / 470 lb-ft | 49 (MPGe), 21 miles of EV range |
6.4-liter V8 | Rubicon 392 | 470 hp / 470 lb-ft | 14 mpg |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The two-door Wrangler’s trail-friendly 167-inch length is about seven inches less than the two-door Ford Bronco and another five inches shorter than the Land Rover Defender 90. That affords an interior with 36 inches of rear seat legroom and 12.9 cubic feet of space in the cargo area. The four-door Wrangler stretches the wheelbase for an overall length that is about 22 inches greater. The space behind the rear seat measures 31.7 cubic feet or 72.4 with the seat back folded. Those figures aren’t as great as in the Bronco.
The Sahara, High Altitude, Rubicon 392, and the plug-in hybrid models are offered exclusively with four doors.
Maximum towing ratings remain the same as before for most models, 2,000 pounds for the two-door and 3,500 pounds for the four-door, except for the Rubicon models, where the beefed-up axles afford a 5,000-pound rating.
Safety Features
The 2024 Wrangler receives an upgraded rear seatbelt design, side air curtains, and improved side crash structure. The 2023 model received a Poor rating for rear passenger restraint during frontal-offset and side-impact crashes.
The Sport trim is largely without active safety features and stepping up to the Sport S trim ($3,500) includes adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking as standard. The $1,395 Safety Group (blind-spot detection, LED tail lights, and automatic high beams) is offered only after the $1,995 Convenience Group has been added.
The High Altitude and Rubicon 392 trims include these features as standard equipment.
Connectivity
The redesigned Wrangler receives a larger landscape 12.3-inch touchscreen with UConnect5 (the corporate’s latest system), Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto while stepping up to the Sport S allows for 4G wi-fi, SiriusXM, and Remote Engine Start to be had through the Convenience Group and a premium sound system via the Technology Group ($1,295). The Sahara and Rubicon offer Navigation with Trail Guides - providing waypoints, difficulty ratings, and more for 62 off-road trails.
The Sport features one USB and two 12-volt power outlets and the Rubicon includes a 115-volt outlet in the center console.
