The current Jeep Wrangler retains the storied model’s rustic charm and distinct proportions, while making improvements to its powertrain, amenities, and connectivity. However, awkward access, excessive wind noise, and rough ride continue.

Model History

2018-Present

Current Generation

The redesigned 2018 Jeep Wrangler (known as the JL) represents a big improvement to the off-roading icon while remaining true to its heritage. The essential Wrangler hallmarks remain, with a body-on-frame construction and solid axles. It is available in two-door and extended-length four-door configurations. There is a multitude of options that can quickly drive up the price. The V6 engine provides strong acceleration, and the eight-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly. While better than before, the new version's handling still lacks precision. The ride is stiff and jiggly, and there's lots of wind noise at highway speeds. Other than blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic warning, no other advanced safety features are offered until 2019. A 2.0-liter turbo engine is available, and a diesel engine came in 2019. The previous generation overlapped for part of 2018, being sold as ‘Wrangler JK.’ 2021 saw the debut of the new Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid version. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, augmented by an electric drive, the company claims the 4xe delivers 21 miles of all-electric driving. A powerful 470-hp, V8 Rubicon 392 is also new. The diesel engine was dropped for 2024. For 2025, power windows and door locks became standard on all trims.

2007-2017

2007 Redesign Year

The Wrangler is the crudest Jeep, it is also the most capable off road. On the road it delivers a choppy ride, numb sterring feel with slow response, and clumsy handling. Noise is loud and constant. A long-wheelbase Unlimited model was added for 2005, bringing more cargo space and slightly more legroom in the back seat. Otherwise, the ride is still dreadful and the steering is imprecise. For 2007, a redesigned and more civilized Wrangler arrived. Ride and handling improved some, but low cornering limits and vague steering remained. Its 3.8-liter V6 lacked punch and returned just 15 mpg overall. A much better 3.6-liter V6 and a five-speed automatic arrived for 2012, and returned 17 mpg overall. Off-road capability remains impressive, particularly in Rubicon trim. But cabin access is a challenge and the interior is uncomfortable.

1997-2006

1997 Redesign Year

Touting a legacy that stretches back to World War II, the Wrangler is Jeep's smallest, least expensive, and crudest model. It's changed little since its 1986 introduction. Better off-road than on, it has abrupt, numb, routine handling, tricky emergency handling, and a very noisy, punishing ride. Revamped for the 1997 model year, the Wrangler regained round headlamps and received an improved interior. Otherwise, the basic formula continues, with cramped quarters, a dreadful ride, and vague, imprecise steering. The 2001 model features a quieter, better-padded convertible top. A four-speed automatic arrived for 2003, replacing the old three-speed unit.
