The Jeep Wrangler has been a popular off-road vehicle for decades, and it continues to be a rugged contenter in the SUV market. The new model year will make its debut sometime in fall 2024, and while it's likely to remain mostly unchanged, here’s what we know so far.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2025 Jeep Wrangler is expected to start at about $33,000.
- The Wrangler's many powertrain and feature options will mostly remain unchanged from 2024.
- Jeep has teased a fully EV Wrangler, but that’s not expected this year. Its plug-in hybrid trim, the 4xe, remains but may have a substantial upgrade in store.
What Is Known of the 2025 Jeep Wrangler?
In 2025, the V-8 Wrangler 392 returns, minus the Mopar triple loop grille guard and 83-piece toolkit. Most everything else you remember from last year remains the same.
The Wrangler’s current trims will likely be the same for 2025—Wrangler prices are expected to start at about $33,890.
Is the New Jeep Wrangler Powerful?
The Wrangler's current powertrains will remain for 2025. All trims are standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission with the exception of those with a 3.6-liter V-6—these are also available with manual transmission. Four-wheel drive is standard in all trims. Here’s what you can from each:
3.6-Liter V-6
- 285 hp/260 lb-ft of torque
- Six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic
- Fuel efficiency (city/highway): 17-20/23-25 mpg
2.0-Liter Turbocharged I-4
- 270 hp/295 lb-ft of torque
- Eight-speed automatic
- Fuel efficiency (city/highway): 21-22/24 mpg
2.0-Liter Turbocharged I-4 + Electric Motor
- 375 hp/470 lb-ft of torque
- Eight-speed automatic
- Fuel efficiency (combined): 49 mpg-e (gas+elec); 20 mpg (gas only)
6.4-Liter V-8
- 470 hp/470 lb-ft of torque
- Transmission: Eight-speed automatic
- Fuel efficiency (city/highway): 13/17 mpg
In 2024, the automaker expanded the 4xe's hybrid powertrain to new trims—the Sport S, Willys, Sahara, High Altitude, and Rubicon. We expect this to remain the same in the coming year.
What Technology Is Seen From the 2025 Jeep Wrangler?
As of 2024, all Wrangler SUVs come standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and built-in navigation with the automaker's Trails Offroad integrated trail maps. There are seven USB ports, and a 115-volt outlet, but no wireless charging pad (perhaps there will be an upgrade in 2025.) Wranglers are also currently available with a front-facing camera and an Alpine nine-speaker stereo system. In 2024, Jeep integrated the Wrangler’s radio antenna into the windshield to keep it from breaking off on the trail—a solid idea when branches are near!
Is the 2025 Jeep Wrangler Safe?
Starting with 2024 models, Jeep installed first- and second-row side curtain airbags on all trims and every trim (minus the Base model) features standard front automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control as standard. Also available is a blind-spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert system and automatic high-beams (depending on the trim.)
