  • New Wrangler Sport S 4xe model brings lower entry price point, Rubicon X model elevates Rubicon nameplate with standard 35-inch tires (2.0- and 3.6-litre automatic powertrains), integrated off-road camera and steel bumpers

The 2024 Jeep® Wrangler, the most capable vehicle in the world, has arrived in the United States, with information on its UK launch to be announced later in the year.

It builds on its history with an unmatched combination of off-road capability, authentic Jeep design, open-air freedom, advanced powertrains, superior on and off-road dynamics and a host of innovative safety and advanced technology features. 

New for the 2024 model year, the Wrangler features a full-float Dana rear axle, available 100:1 crawl ratio, new factory Warn winch and increased 5,000-lb tow capability. Inside, customers get to experience more comfort and safety, with a new interior featuring power front seats, standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen radio and standard side curtain airbags in the first and second rows.

“The Jeep Wrangler is the archetypal adventure hero embodying the spirit and soul of the Jeep brand,” said Christian Meunier, Jeep brand CEO. “Since its introduction, we have sold almost five million Wranglers around the world, setting new levels of 4×4 capability with each new generation. Today, we are raising the bar once again by combining the most capable Wrangler to date, with more technology, comfort and safety features. This is a no-compromise combination enhanced by the freedom to choose from four different powertrains, including our electrified 4xe.” 

New models bolster and broaden Wrangler line-up:

Featuring the award-winning 375-horsepower and 470-lb-feet of torque plug-in powertrain that efficiently returns 21 miles of all-electric range and 49 MPGe, the Wrangler Sports S 4xe features a standard 12.3-inch digital touchscreen, power windows and door locks, adaptive cruise control with stop, forward collision warning, side curtain airbags, remote keyless entry, premium soft-top, 20-inch aluminium wheels and Gorilla glass windshield.

Also new for 2024 is the Rubicon X model. Available with both ICE and 4xe powertrains, the new Rubicon X adds capability, style and technology to the upper levels of the Wrangler line-up.

Based on the legendary Rubicon, the premium Rubicon X adds a 12.3-inch digital touchscreen with navigation, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, nine-speaker premium Alpine audio system and Nappa leather seats on the inside. Meanwhile, a Rock-Trac full-time transfer case, integrated off-road camera, steel bumpers, body-colour hardtop and body-colour fender flares take care of business on the outside.

Zero Emission Freedom: 4xe is the new 4×4

The new 2024 Wrangler 4xe builds on the Jeep brand’s goal of Zero Emission Freedom in its effort to become the greenest SUV brand in the world, building the most capable and sustainable Jeep SUVs.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe models, along with a range of electrified powertrains, will play a role for the Jeep brand as it follows the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. Electrified and more efficient propulsion systems help Stellantis cut its global carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 and lead the transportation industry by achieving net carbon zero by 2038. By 2030, 100% of Jeep vehicles in Europe will be fully electric.

Broadest array of powertrain options in the premium off-road segment

From the 49 MPGe electrified 4xe plug-in hybrid to the V8-powered 470-horsepower Rubicon 392, the new 2024 Jeep Wrangler offers customers the ability to choose from the most diverse powertrain options in the off-road segment. This gives Wrangler customers the ability to choose the engine that best suits their lifestyle. The advanced 4xe lineup and high-performance Rubicon 392 come exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the 2.0 and 3.6-litre gas engines offer both a six-speed manual transmission and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

  • 2.0-liter turbocharged PHEV 4xe: 375 horsepower, 470 lb.-ft. of torque
  • 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine: 270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque
  • 3.6-liter V-6: 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque
  • 6.4-liter V-8: 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque

Advanced propulsion systems combine power and efficiency

4xe

The most advanced powertrain ever developed for a Jeep Wrangler maximises efficiency and eliminates range anxiety with 49 miles per gallon equivalent (MPG), while delivering 21 miles of pure-electric operation for most daily commutes and hours on the trail.

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe powertrain integrates two electric motors and a 400-volt battery pack with a fuel-efficient, turbocharged, 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.

Key output of the Wrangler 4xe powertrain includes 375 horsepower (280 kW), 470 lb.-ft. (637 Nm) of torque and 49 MPG.

  • 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 
  • Engine-mounted motor generator unit 
  • Transmission-mounted motor generator unit integrated into eight-speed automatic transmission 
  • 400-volt, 17-kWh, 96-cell lithium-ion, nickel manganese cobalt battery pack 

Proven body-on-frame design is the foundation for legendary Jeep capability

Using a body-on-frame design and featuring a finely engineered five-link suspension system, the new 2024 Wrangler delivers unrivalled capability, refined on-road dynamics and advanced safety features. 

To protect critical vehicle components while on the trail, including a fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan, Wrangler features four skid plates.

For 2024, Wrangler continues to use the proven five-link coil suspension setup.

More than 85 available advanced safety and security features

Safety and security were paramount in the development of the new 2024 Jeep Wrangler, which offers more than 85 available active and passive safety and security features.

Forward collision warning and advanced cruise control with stop now come standard on Sport S and above. Blind-spot, cross-path detection and ParkSense rear park-assist system come standard on High Altitude, Rubicon X and Rubicon 392. They are also available on Sport S, Willys, Sahara and Rubicon. A ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic grid lines, traction control and electronic stability control (ESC) with electronic roll mitigation are standard on all models.

Iconic Jeep Wrangler design: New grille, wheel designs and multiple open-air freedom options

The new 2024 Jeep Wrangler builds on a sculptural design aesthetic that is immediately recognisable with its traditional Jeep design cues. The 2024 Wrangler’s iconic seven-slot grille, first introduced on the 2023 Wrangler Rubicon 20th Anniversary, wears an updated look with black textured slots, neutral grey metallic bezels and body-colour surround.

Ten new standard and optional wheel designs, from 17 to 20-inch diameter and including beadlock-capable wheels for the Xtreme 35 Package, freshen Wrangler’s rolling stock with tyre sizes ranging from 32 to 35 inches.  

Multiple open-air freedom options include a new standard premium soft-top, two available hardtops (black and body colour), exclusive Sky One-Touch powertop, Sunrider for Hardtop and dual-door group with half doors. This means there are dozens of different door, top and windshield combinations so Wrangler customers can customise their off-road adventure.

Wrangler is also available in 10 eye-catching exterior colours including: Anvil (NEW), Earl, Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal, Silver Zynith, High Velocity, Hydro Blue, Sarge, Bright White and black.

Authentic interior design boasts premium features and technology

The new Wrangler’s refined interior is loaded with premium features and technology.

Standard on all models is improved hands-free voice recognition on High Altitude, Rubicon X and Rubicon 392. A standard premium cabin package adds acoustic front glass, thicker carpet and additional sound-deadening foam in the windshield header, front cowl and B-pillars, all helping to ensure a quieter ride.

An all-new 12.3-inch touchscreen – the most advanced and largest display ever offered on Wrangler – houses the fifth-generation award-winning Uconnect 5 system.

Uconnect 5 delivers operating speeds that are five times faster when compared to the previous generation. By using an Android operating system and over-the-air (OTA) updates, Uconnect 5 brings flexibility that will allow the system to continuously evolve to offer new content, features and services.
