Overview
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler maintains its renowned status as a top-tier off-road performer, coupled with a contemporary design and cutting-edge technology. Starting at $31,895, the Wrangler’s enduring appeal stems from its exceptional off-road capabilities and unmistakable aesthetic. Notably, Jeep offers a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant with an impressive electric range of up to 22 miles. The 2024 update introduces refreshed interior and exterior designs, along with new technological enhancements such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, elevating its overall appeal and functionality. Despite these updates, the Wrangler retains its iconic features, including 2-door and 4-door configurations, removable roof options, and a stellar reputation for high resale value. Positioned as a formidable competitor, the Ford Bronco shares a similar adventurous spirit with the Wrangler.
What’s New for 2024?
The iconic Jeep Wrangler undergoes several enhancements for the 2024 model year. To begin with, an aesthetic makeover introduces a redesigned grille, fresh wheel choices, and a sleek antenna integrated into the windshield. Inside, the updated interior boasts an abundance of soft-touch materials and upgraded technology, highlighted by a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen featuring wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
In a pioneering move, Jeep becomes the first automotive brand to offer built-in off-road adventure guides within its infotainment system starting in 2024. The Trails Offroad guide streamlines off-road trip planning by furnishing vital information such as location and difficulty level. Initially, the system includes 200 trails, with the option for owners to expand their repertoire with an additional 3,000 trails for an annual fee of $39.99.
The introduction of the new Willys model enhances capability at an affordable price point, boasting larger tires, increased ground clearance, and a rear locker. Elevating the Wrangler’s off-road prowess to new heights, the Rubicon X model incorporates steel bumpers, 35-inch tires, and an integrated trail camera. Even the standard Rubicon trim receives enhancements in the form of new off-road features, including a Dana 44 HD full-float solid rear axle.
Adding to its lineup, Jeep introduces the 4xe Sport S model, serving as the entry-level option for the plug-in hybrid powertrain. This addition aims to make plug-in hybrid technology more accessible by lowering the starting price for this eco-friendly variant.

Modern Interior
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler undergoes a substantial interior makeover, marking a significant leap forward in both design and technology.
The revamped low-profile center panel showcases Jeep’s advanced Uconnect 5 infotainment system, featuring a brilliantly illuminated 12.3-inch touchscreen that remains easily visible even during open-air drives. Standard wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay further enhances the user experience.
Additionally, the option for 12-way power-adjustable front seats, rigorously tested for water fording, underscores the Wrangler’s rugged versatility. With a remarkable 34 inches of water-fording capability, these electric seats remain fully functional even when submerged. In the upper trims, acoustic front glass, enhanced carpeting, and increased sound deadening contribute to a quieter cabin ambiance.
Despite its compact dimensions, the Wrangler offers commendable interior space, owing to its boxy silhouette. While rear-seat accommodations are somewhat compromised in the 2-door variant, the more pragmatic 4-door configuration proves to be the preferred choice among consumers.
Notably, while 2-door models accommodate up to four occupants, the 4-door Wrangler offers family-friendly seating for five individuals. Jeep’s meticulous modernization efforts ensure that the Wrangler’s interior retains its distinctive character while seamlessly integrating cutting-edge features.
Rugged Exterior
The 2024 Wrangler maintains its tradition of evolutionary exterior styling, staying true to its iconic design cues while incorporating subtle updates.
Among the notable enhancements are the refreshed 7-slot grille, featuring wider slots for enhanced airflow, and the integration of the antenna into the windshield frame. Its unmistakable silhouette retains the classic Wrangler characteristics, characterized by a rugged, boxy profile reminiscent of military-inspired design, complemented by round headlights and an upright grille.
Available in two body styles, 2-door or 4-door, the Wrangler offers removable doors, optional half doors, and various configurations for removable tops, including the new Sky One-Touch powertop, functioning akin to a power convertible top.
With an extensive array of eight trims, 10 paint options, and 10 wheel designs, the Wrangler remains a highly customizable SUV, allowing enthusiasts to personalize their vehicles according to their preferences.
