MIDRAND – Backed by more than 80 years of 4×4 engineering expertise, the new Jeep® Wrangler is the most recognisable and capable vehicle on the planet. Jeep Wrangler builds on the brand’s goal to deliver freedom of choice, offering an unmatched combination of leading off-road capability, iconic Jeep design, open-air freedom, advanced powertrains and a refined interior, as well as a host of innovative safety and advanced technology features.
With capability at its core, Jeep Wrangler is built on a body-on-frame design with a front and rear five-link suspension system, solid axles and available electronic lockers. To meet the capability needs of the most avid off-road enthusiasts, Wrangler offers a full-float Dana rear axle, combining a robust drivetrain, delivering torque on demand and ensuring optimal and continuous power in any situation.
Inside, side-curtain airbags are standard in the first and second rows. Wrangler features a standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen radio with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 12-way power adjustable leather front seats and more than 85 safety features, including Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, adaptive cruise control further Wrangler’s refinement, Drowsy Driver Alert, and Lane Departure Warning.
Legendary go-anywhere 4×4 capability: Most capable SUV ever without compromise
The new Jeep Wrangler delivers legendary off-road capability and it is the most capable ever with best-in-class performance
Every Wrangler model’s Trail Rated badge reflects an unmatched specification list that includes Dana solid front and rear axles, two-speed transfer case, traction control, tow hooks, four-wheel disc brakes, four skid plates and a minimum tire size of 81 cm of diameter. The new Wrangler continues to raise the bar with the all-new next-generation Dana 44 HD full-float rear axle on Rubicon models.
Now, Wrangler customers can get full-float axles, typically found on heavy-duty commercial trucks, straight from the factory. Wrangler Rubicon’s first full-float rear axle design consists of a wheel hub assembly that is separate from the axle shaft, with a spindle bolted to the axle tube that supports the wheel hub via a pair of wheel bearings. By using a full-float axle design, the weight of the vehicle is transferred to the axle tube rather than the axle shaft itself. Thus, the axle shaft is subjected only to torsional loads, with its sole function being to transmit power to the wheel hub. This makes the axle stronger and more robust.
Sport models run on 17-inch steel wheels and Sahara models feature 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. Wrangler Rubicon is forged for off-road adventure and is shod with Mud-Terrain tyres as standard on 17-inch alloy rims.
Proven body-on-frame design is the foundation for legendary Jeep capability
Using a body-on-frame design and featuring a finely engineered five-link suspension system, the new 2024 Wrangler delivers unrivalled capability, refined on-road dynamics and advanced safety features.
To protect critical vehicle components while on the trail, including the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan, Wrangler features four skid plates.
The use of lightweight, high-strength aluminium closures, including the doors, door hinges, hood, fender flares, windshield frame and magnesium swing gate, helps reduce weight and boost fuel economy.
Wrangler continues to use the proven five-link coil suspension setup. Wrangler’s front suspension features two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for longitudinal control and a cross-car track bar for lateral axle control.
The five-link rear suspension features a similar layout to the front suspension, with two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for longitudinal axle control, and a track bar for lateral axle control.
The front and rear full-width high-strength steel track bars are positioned to control lateral movement of the axle with minimal angle change during suspension travel.
The shocks are tuned for optimum balance between on-road handling and legendary off-road capability, delivering ideal ride comfort, body-roll control, and dynamic handling.
On Wrangler Rubicon models, an electronic front sway-bar disconnect is featured to provide additional wheel travel when the terrain calls for it.
Authentic interior design boasts premium features and technology
The new Wrangler’s refined interior is loaded with premium features and technology along with Jeep functionality and versatility. The heritage-inspired centre stack features a clean, sculpted form that complements the horizontal dashboard design. A wrapped instrument panel features new soft-touch surfaces, in fabric or polyurethane, with contrast accent stitching. New AMPS bracket provisions are now featured on top of the dash.
Standard on all models is improved hands-free voice recognition, which now uses microphone array technology. On Rubicon and Sahara, a standard premium cabin package adds acoustic front glass, thicker carpet and additional sound deadening foam in the windshield header, front cowl, and B-pillars for a quieter ride.
An all-new 12.3-inch touchscreen – the most advanced and largest display ever offered on Wrangler – houses the fifth-generation award-winning Uconnect 5 system and sits prominently atop the centre stack, right above the new slim rectangular inboard air vent. The outboard air vents retain their signature circular shape.
Uconnect 5 delivers operating speeds that are five times faster when compared to the previous generation. By using an Android operating system and over-the-air (OTA) updates, Uconnect 5 brings flexibility that will allow the system to continuously evolve to offer new content, features and services.
The new Wrangler’s Uconnect 5 system offers more connected services and features for unmatched ease of use. The suite of system highlights includes:
- 12.3-inch digital touchscreen (NEW)
- Five user profiles plus a valet mode – customizable music preferences, apps, seat position, mirror angles and climate comfort levels (NEW)
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Fully customizable home screen for quick access to frequently used features and one-touch operation (NEW)

The Wrangler delivers a total of up to seven USB Type A and Type C ports for both rows. Standard 12-volt accessory outlets are located throughout the new Wrangler and a 230-volt AC outlet is available to power select three-pronged home electronics.
More than 85 available advanced safety and security features
Safety and security were paramount in the development of the new Jeep Wrangler, which offers more than 85 available active and passive safety and security features. Standard on all models are first- and second-row side curtain airbags, which complement standard driver and passenger front airbags and front seat-mounted driver and passenger side airbags.
Wrangler features second-row outboard seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters, as well as structural improvements for side-impact performance
List of standard ADAS (advanced driver’s assistance system) includes Forward collision warning and advanced cruise control with stop feature, blind spot detection with rear cross-path, as well as the brand-new Drowsy Driver Alert and Lane Departure Warning. ParkSense front and rear park-assist system come standard on all price classes, while Sahara features a ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic grid lines and Rubicon features the offroad camera with front and rear view. Traction control and electronic stability control (ESC) with electronic roll mitigation come standard on all models.
2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine
The new Jeep Wrangler range is powered by a robust and powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine with engine stop-start (ESS). The petrol motor is rated at 200kW and 400 Nm of torque and mates to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission.
Using a twin-scroll, low-inertia turbocharger with an electronically actuated waste gate for exceptional responsiveness and performance, the 2.0-liter I-4 engine features a turbo mounted directly to the cylinder head for improved durability. A dedicated cooling circuit lowers the temperature of the intake air, throttle body and turbocharger.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine, which meets European Euro 6D-Final emissions standards, is part of the Global Medium Engine architecture family and features Double Overhead Camshafts (DOHC), dual independent camshaft timing, and a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (C-EGR) system. This combination of technologies enables high levels of performance and reduces fuel consumption.

Jeep Wrangler: a pioneer’s story
The Jeep® story begins with the original freedom machine, forged in the heat of battle during World War II. The Jeep brand legacy earned its first stripes with the United States Armed Forces when the initial “Quad” prototype was delivered to the U.S. Army on Veterans Day in 1940. It became the foundation of something much greater—something that would come to symbolise liberty, strength, and resilience.
The resulting Willys MB wasn’t just another vehicle; it became a loyal companion to soldiers, a versatile workhorse in every corner of the battlefield, performing countless roles with unwavering reliability. And it influenced every 4×4 SUV that came after it.
In 1945, the first Civilian Jeep arrived, starting a CJ legacy that would last until the 1976 CJ 7 after a 30-year production run. It was the first major Jeep vehicle design change in 20 years and the seventh generation of the original vehicle.
The Wrangler legend was born in 1987 with a lower centre of gravity, improved handling, and more comfortable interior setting a precedent for the most-loved Jeep 4×4 of all time. A successor to the original Willys MB, the Wrangler Unlimited brought together four-door open-air design and classic Jeep brand cues in 2007. Every one of them featured the iconic seven-slot grille.
For nearly a century, the Jeep name has remained a symbol of freedom, durability, and an unyielding will to overcome any obstacle. This spirit continues today, at the heart of every Jeep vehicle that rolls off the line—built to persevere, built to endure.
