Marking its latest evolution, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler arrives with a transformative redesign, underscoring its leap forward in cutting-edge technology and driving enhancement.
Devotees of the Jeep brand will be particularly drawn to the continuation of the 4xe plug-in hybrid version, which stands as a testament to the seamless integration of fuel efficiency with the brand's hallmark off-road resilience tailored for today's adventurers.
The 2024 Wrangler stakes a claim as a pioneer in automotive technological innovation, offering a suite of enhancements designed for an engaging and comprehensive driving experience. Leading the charge is the new 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, which stands as the centrepiece of the Wrangler's infotainment system. It comes equipped with pioneering features such as Trails Offroad, custom user interfaces, and support for simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity for multiple phones. The Wrangler also offers an onboard 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, SiriusXM 360L with customizable stations, and an advanced TomTom navigation system that provides up-to-the-minute traffic information and smart predictive search functions for navigating all types of routes.
The technological prowess of the Wrangler is further bolstered by the Digital Display designed to present driver information and the convenience of Remote Vehicle Start via a Connect Vehicle subscription. For the 4xe PHEV models, the Uconnect 5 system is enriched with exclusive Hybrid Electric Pages, which offer insights into the vehicle's hybrid system, particularly highlighting the regenerative braking's contribution to efficiency. Together, these features forge a driving experience that is more interconnected while providing key information to the driver.
The 2024 model of the Jeep Wrangler skillfully maintains its classic visual identity while embracing contemporary enhancements. The iconic grille has received an update with a sleek black and gray metallic finish that not only revitalizes its visual appeal but also serves to improve thermal management — a boon for the Rubicon variants that come with the Warn winch. The palette of exterior colors has been expanded, and the antenna design has been refined to merge more smoothly into the windshield's contour, minimizing both aesthetic and functional disruptions. This enhancement complements the Wrangler's performance across diverse terrains. The selection of wheels has been enriched with ten new styles, including beadlock-ready designs, underlining the Wrangler's readiness for a variety of driving landscapes.
Jeep continues to champion personalization with the 2024 Wrangler, showcasing a variety of options for open-air driving experiences. With the inclusion of the standard premium soft-top, various hardtops, and the Sky One-Touch powertop, owners are provided with ample choices to tailor their Wrangler to their personal adventuring style. The trusted body-on-frame construction, along with the refined five-link suspension system, not only maintains the vehicle's legendary off-road prowess but also contributes to enhanced on-road stability. Incorporation of aluminum elements and skid plates not only reinforces the Wrangler's robustness but also contributes to improved fuel efficiency.
The interior of the 2024 Wrangler marries luxury with the latest technological innovations, perpetuating Jeep's legacy of combining practicality with upscale versatility. The reimagined dashboard features a classic design with modern refinements, now featuring high-quality soft-touch materials and detailed stitching, contributing to an enriched premium feel within the cabin. The integration of new AMPS bracket fixtures on the dashboard enhances customization options. In select models, such as the High Altitude, Rubicon X, and Rubicon 392, efforts have been made to improve cabin tranquility with superior sound insulation materials, including advanced glass and acoustic materials, fostering a quieter in-vehicle atmosphere.
At the heart of the Wrangler's interior technology is the newly installed 12.3-inch touchscreen, which serves as the operational hub for the Uconnect 5 system. This interface brings a remarkable enhancement in performance, with processing speeds fivefold faster than the earlier version, and adapts to the latest updates through its Android-based platform capable of wireless updates. The Uconnect 5 system broadens the driving experience with its comprehensive features, including smooth integration with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, customizable user settings, and Alexa compatibility. The cabin's convenience is further amplified with the introduction of dual USB Type C fast-charging ports, additional USB connections, and an optional 115-volt AC power outlet, delivering constant connectivity and entertainment for all occupants.
The 2024 Wrangler presents an array of powertrain options, each designed with specific driving demands in mind, ensuring its class remains unrivaled. The lineup includes the environmentally considerate 4xe plug-in hybrid, the mighty V-8 Rubicon 392, the agile turbocharged 2.0-litre I-4, and the stalwart 3.6-litre V-6. The 4xe and Rubicon 392 are seamlessly paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the V-6 offers the option of a hands-on six-speed manual or the smooth operation of an eight-speed automatic.
Diverse in their capabilities, the engines range from the 4xe PHEV's powerful 375 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque to the I-4's 270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque, the V-6's 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, and the V-8's robust 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. The Wrangler 4xe PHEV shines with its eco-friendly performance, offering a pure electric range of 35 km and a combined hybrid range of 592 km. Its power setup features a 2.0L Turbo PHEV engine in concert with a 17-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, ensuring reliable performance off-road. With an available Level II charger, the battery can reach full charge within two hours. Across all engine configurations, the Wrangler's celebrated 4x4 capabilities are upheld by systems such as Command-Trac, Rock-Trac, and Selec-Trac, guaranteeing remarkable traction, water fording, and ground clearance.
Jeep enriches the 2024 Wrangler lineup with the debut of two prominent models: the innovative Sport S 4xe and the sumptuously equipped Rubicon X. The Sport S 4xe builds upon the success of the plug-in hybrid segment with updates in technology and safety, including a 12.3-inch digital touchscreen, cutting-edge adaptive cruise control, and advanced safety features like forward collision warning. The Rubicon X model raises the bar for luxury within the Wrangler series, offering upscale features such as electrically adjustable 12-way front seats, a superior Alpine audio system, exquisite Nappa leather seating, and a sophisticated off-road camera system, amplifying the Wrangler's status as a leader in luxury off-road vehicles.
