The 2024 Jeep Wrangler introduces a significant redesign that propels it forward in terms of performance enhancements and technological progress.
The continued availability of the 4xe plug-in hybrid model elevates its status, offering an attractive blend of tradition and innovation for Jeep enthusiasts who demand the latest in off-road capability.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler stands at the forefront of technology in its class. The highlight is the new 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, the most advanced system available in the Wrangler. It offers features such as Trails Offroad, user profile customization, and enhanced Bluetooth connectivity for two phones. For connectivity on the go, the Wrangler includes a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and SiriusXM 360L for a variety of entertainment options. The TomTom navigation system provides easy-to-use search functions and live traffic updates, making navigation simple, whether on familiar roads or exploring new trails.
The Wrangler's technological suite is further bolstered by the Driver Information Digital Cluster Display and Remote Vehicle Start, which are part of the Connect Vehicle subscription. For 4xe PHEV models, the Uconnect 5 system's Hybrid Electric Pages give detailed information on the hybrid system's operation, highlighting the efficiency of regenerative braking. These technologies underscore Jeep's dedication to delivering an experience that is both interactive and informative.
With its exterior update, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler skillfully bridges its classic design language with modern touches. A refreshed grille in black and gray not only adds to the visual appeal but also serves an improved cooling function critical to the Rubicon's Warn winch performance. New color options and a seamlessly integrated stealth antenna on the windshield are thoughtful touches that reduce interference during rough treks. The Wrangler's readiness for various terrains is evident in its ten new wheel designs, which include beadlock-capable options.
Customization remains a core focus for the Wrangler, evident in the variety of open-air configurations now available. Owners can choose from the new standard premium soft-top, different hardtops, and the Sky One-Touch powertop, enhancing the personal touch for different outdoor activities. Its time-tested body-on-frame construction is complemented by an upgraded five-link suspension system, ensuring the vehicle's off-road heritage is matched by improved on-road comfort. The use of aluminum and skid plates enhances the vehicle's defense against elements and improves its fuel efficiency.
The 2024 Wrangler's interior showcases a blend of luxury and the latest technology, continuing Jeep's commitment to delivering functional and adaptable interiors. A reworked dashboard introduces a centre stack that draws from Jeep's heritage, wrapped in premium soft-touch materials and accented with fine stitching. Enhanced by new features like the AMPS bracket on the dashboard, the interior's luxury feel is complemented by practical design elements. Models such as the High Altitude, Rubicon X, and Rubicon 392 also benefit from added sound insulation, including superior glass and noise-cancelling materials that ensure a quiet cabin.
The centrepiece of the Wrangler's technological updates is the new 12.3-inch touchscreen, home to the Uconnect 5 system that outperforms the previous model with significantly faster operation and keeps up-to-date with regular wireless updates. This system introduces features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, customizable profiles, and Alexa integration for an immersive driving experience. The interior's utility is further supported by dual USB Type C fast-charging ports, additional USB ports for both rows, and the option for a 115-volt AC outlet to keep passengers charged and entertained.
Offering a wide selection of powertrains, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler caters to diverse preferences in driving dynamics. The lineup includes the eco-friendly 4xe plug-in hybrid and the powerful V-8 Rubicon 392, as well as a turbocharged 2.0-litre I-4 engine and a capable 3.6-litre V-6 engine. The 4xe and Rubicon 392 models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the V-6 option includes a manual six-speed or an automatic eight-speed. Each powertrain offers a unique performance profile: the 4xe PHEV produces 375 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, while the I-4 engine delivers 270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque, and the V-6 achieves 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, with the V-8 leading at 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque.
The 4xe PHEV stands out with its environmentally friendly design, providing up to 35 km of electric range and a hybrid range of 592 km. It combines a 2.0L Turbo PHEV engine with a 17 kWh lithium-ion battery pack to maintain robust off-road capabilities. The available Level II charger can quickly recharge the Wrangler 4xe PHEV in two hours. All powertrain options retain the Wrangler's renowned 4x4 systems, like Command-Trac, Rock-Trac, and Selec-Trac, ensuring excellent crawl ratios, water fording, and ground clearance.
The Wrangler lineup is growing with the introduction of the Sport S 4xe and Rubicon X models. The Sport S 4xe enhances North America's best-selling plug-in hybrid with features such as a 12.3-inch digital touchscreen, advanced adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning. The Rubicon X brings additional luxury to the iconic Rubicon, with features like 12-way power-adjustable front seats, a high-end Alpine audio system, Nappa leather seats, and an integrated off-road camera. These models further cement the Wrangler's position as a leader in versatile, technology-driven off-road vehicles.
