2024 Jeep Wrangler Overview

Performance

The Jeep brand takes a something-for-everyone approach with its powerplant offerings for the 2024 Wrangler:

• 2.0-liter turbocharged PHEV 4xe: 375 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque
• 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine: 270 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque
• 3.6-liter V6: 285 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque
• 6.4-liter V8: 470 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque

The base turbo four-cylinder or V6 is more than capable of being used for everyday outings, while those wanting extra get-up-and-go will find the PHEV and V8 options more in line with their needs. Jeep also keeps the Wrangler old-school by offering a six-speed manual transmission with the V6—otherwise, an eight-speed automatic handles gear-shifting duties.

Safety

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler hasn’t been assessed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor received any special designations from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

New for 2024, all Wranglers come standard with first- and second-row side curtain airbags. Other key safety features include:

• Forward collision warning (standard on Sport S and above)
• Advanced cruise control with stop (standard on Sport S and above)
• Blind-spot and cross-path detection (standard on High Altitude, Rubicon X, and Rubicon 392; available on other trims)
• Rear parking sensors (standard on High Altitude, Rubicon X, and Rubicon 392; available on other trims)
• A rearview camera with dynamic grid lines
• Traction control and electronic stability control (ESC) with electronic roll mitigation

Driving

Few vehicles have the off-road prowess of the Jeep Wrangler. The trade-off is a somewhat rougher ride, which can be less-than-ideal for drivers and passengers more accustomed to a car-like crossover. Nonetheless, countless Wranglers serve as daily drivers without much fuss. For those planning on off-pavement adventures, the Wrangler has you covered. However, the greatest challenge is determining which 4X4 best meets your needs. You’ll want to do your homework on this or find a Jeep salesperson who knows their stuff (ideally, a Wrangler owner).

Interior

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler interior combines authentic design with premium features and technology. In some respects, it’s hard to believe this vehicle is the modern successor to the legendary Jeep that helped the Allies win World War II. The 2024 edition is filled with contemporary luxuries like a large touchscreen and a wrapped instrument panel with soft-touch surfaces and contrast stitching. There’s even a cabin upgrade option that adds sound-reducing glass, thicker carpets, and additional sound-deadening materials. In simple terms, the 2024 Wrangler is not your father’s or grandfather’s Jeep.

Technology

Befitting a vehicle of the 2020s, the 2024 Wrangler is packed with advanced technologies, including:

• All-new 12.3-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 system
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Fully customizable home screen for quick access to features
• Simultaneous connectivity for two Bluetooth-enabled phones
• Alexa Home to Car functionality with in-vehicle Alexa virtual assistant
• 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot to connect up to eight wireless devices
• First factory application of Trails Offroad with comprehensive off-road trail guides
• Up to seven USB ports
