In an world where the passenger sedan has been de facto replaced by SUVs, there is one SUV left that accepts no substitute; the Jeep Wrangler. A true rock-crawling off-roader, the current Wrangler debuted in 2018, and is now in its sixth model year. Right now Jeep is pushing a number of incentives to move Wranglers amidst a Stellantis sales slump. You might be able to get an amazing price on this venerable SUV.
Starting at a mere $31,995 msrp for the entry level Sport two-door soft-top model, the Wrangler undercuts the Gladiator pickup which it gave birth to by about six grand, making it the most affordable new Jeep model outside of the compact Compass. If you yearn for the past, the Wrangler is one of the most old-school cars on the road, down to standard roll up windows and standard manual transmission. While power windows and automatic transmission are optional, the Wrangler retains its spartan appeal with standard four wheel drive. Wrangler Sport includes first and second row side curtain airbags, Dana solid front and rear axles, part time 4×4 system, a 12.3 inch touchscreen, numerous tow hooks, and 17 inch alloys with 32 inch tires.
Wrangler Sport S starts at $35,595 msrp for two-door, making the Wrangler a little less spartan with power door locks and power windows — the Wrangler being one of the last vehicles on sale without standard power locks. Thing get interesting with the Willy’s trim, $40,090 msrp, which has 17 inch black aluminum wheels, 33 inch tires, a locking rear diff, LED exterior lights, and auxiliary switches. Jeep also has the Sahara trim and the Rubicon trim, starting at $49,790 msrp and $47,390 msrp, respectively. Rubicon gets front and rear lockers and electronic sway bar disconnect, along with a 4:1 heavy duty part time transfer case; it is available in both 4 and 2 door. The Sahara is four-door only, getting 18 inch wheels, body color fender flares, and a 7 inch driver information center.
Wranglers come standard with Stellantis’ corporate 3.6L Pentastar V6, which also does duty in base Ram truck models. It has 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, and comes with a six speed manual or an eight speed automatic ($4,000). The optional 2.0L turbocharged direct injection four cylinder has a lower 270 horsepower but a higher 295 lb-ft of torque, and is standard with the eight speed auto. Meanwhile the 4xe Wrangler has a V-6 hybrid combination setup that has an electric-only range of 22 miles, and is one of the best-selling PHEV’s (Plug In Hybrid) in America. If you are feeling spendy, “392” V-8 versions of the Wrangler are also available, for a price, starting at a cool $92,010. This features a 470 horsepower, 6.4L Hemi V-8, as well as Nappa leather seats!
Right now Jeep is offering bonus cash on select gas Wranglers in dealer inventory (including Willy’s, Rubicon, and Sahara), often in conjunction with no payments for a varying number of months. You can also lease a Wrangler 4-door Sport at a great rate. 4xe Hybrid Wranglers also have excellent incentives, including no beginning payment and bonus cash offers. You can also lease a 4xe Hybrid Wrangler Willy’s for incredibly cheap considering its $56,030 msrp. Jeep also has a low trim-dependent APR’s on select hybrid Wranglers only.
