2024 Jeep Wrangler Reviews: If you’re the kind of person who spends weekends in the great outdoors – or maybe you just want to look like you do – the 2024 Jeep Wrangler is an SUV that will take you just about anywhere you want to go. Jeep has come a long way from its military roots, offering plenty of creature comforts and, in fact, higher trim levels could be considered luxurious. That doesn’t mean the Wrangler will give you a pillowy ride or massage your bum on the way to the trailhead. It’s still a truck with road manners to match. Its ride can be jerky over broken pavement and its steering needs constant correction just to keep it in a straight line. By all accounts, the Ford Bronco and Toyota 4Runner are more refined options with similar capabilities. However, Jeep offers many more powertrain options than its rivals, including a plug-in hybrid variant (reviewed separately) and a 470bhp V8 that’s exclusive to the Rubicon 392 model.

2024 Jeep Wrangler, What’s NEW?
The Wrangler gets a slight visual and technical update for 2024, with an updated grille and no fewer than 10 new wheel designs. Inside, a new 12.3-inch infotainment display is standard across the range, replacing the smaller 5.0-inch and 7.0-inch screens on last year’s Wranglers. The new display also features Jeep’s latest infotainment software, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity. The on-board navigation system includes maps for more than 2000 trails, with the ability to download more. Jeep has integrated a more robust active noise cancellation system to help keep the cabin quiet during phone calls.
2024 Jeep Wrangler Engine & Performance
The standard 285-horsepower 3.6-litre V-6 from the previous-generation Wrangler makes its way under the hood of the new JL and can be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox or a smooth eight-speed automatic. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine is optional and teams with an electric motor to provide additional low-end power. In addition to the standard V6 and optional four-cylinder hybrid, the Wrangler can also be equipped with a 3.6-litre V6 with similar hybrid-assist, a 3.0-litre diesel V6; a new, 375-hp 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain (reviewed separately) and a 6.4-litre V8 are also available. Wranglers are born off-road, so part-time four-wheel drive is standard across the range, controlled by a lever on the centre console. Although handling has improved, it’s still truck-like compared to today’s sophisticated SUVs and pickups. The ride in the four-door is acceptably smooth over rough surfaces, but braking distances were inconsistent between our two test cars.
In our tests, a basic two-door Wrangler Sport with the V-6 and six-speed manual transmission sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds; a well-equipped four-door Sahara with automatic transmission did the deed in 6.8 seconds. With the four-cylinder powertrain, the four-door Sahara was slightly quicker at 6.5 seconds to 60 mph. The Rubicon model – which carries extra weight in the form of heavier off-road equipment – is not as quick. Performance on our test track shows that the Wrangler JL is a big step up from the previous model, but in some areas it’s just keeping up with the competition.
2024 Jeep Wrangler Interior
It’s not the most spacious or accommodating SUV on the market, but the Wrangler offers a seamless blend of vintage and modern Jeep character. A commanding view of the road – or trail – makes for easy manoeuvrability, but the rear view is obstructed by thick roof pillars, roll bars and various grab handles. Need a better view? Just pop the top and remove the doors. Sitting close to the upright windscreen, the driver and front passenger face a narrow, squared-off dashboard with round air vents and chunky switchgear for the climate control, electric windows (if fitted) and infotainment. As an errand runner, the Wrangler offers plenty of space for groceries and gear, but be aware that the rear seats don’t fold flush with the floor. As you’d expect, there’s a significant load-carrying compromise between the classic two-door Wrangler and the larger four-door Unlimited. Fitting just two of our carry-on bags behind the back seat of the two-door – compared to 10 for the four-door – means you can pack light when you’re off adventuring with friends.
