The feature-packed Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2024 is a market leader in off-road vehicles. Widely regarded as a tough vehicle with an iconic appearance, the Wrangler Rubicon remains synonymous with adventure and capability.
But enough of that; let’s get to the good stuff. How are we going to attack this 2024 model? We check out its powerful engines, high tech, and all the upgrades that make it shine among off-road SUVs around the world when we do a review like this one.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon introduces exciting upgrades that improve style and performance. The Rubicon now has an upgraded cabin that combines new tech elements with a refined Uconnect system. The objective of these enhancements is to raise the bar for driving overall, and with such a combination of comfort and off-road performance, the 2024 model will be an attractive prospect.
What is New in Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2024?
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler gets small changes to the way it looks and performs. You’ll notice a rejuvenated grille on the outside, as well as 10 new wheel designs that give it a fresh and unique look. Inside the 12.3-inch infotainment display is now standard, with both bigger than in last year’s models (5.0 and 7.0 inches). The upgraded display does not only screenshot Jeep’s latest infotainment software, support is also available for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so there can be quicker connections with mobile phones.
The onboard navigation system, with its cool feature of over 2000 trails mapped out in detail (maps can be downloaded), is a godsend to adventurers. Taking cabin comfort seriously, Jeep incorporates a robust active noise-cancellation feature to suppress phone calls from distraction. Excitingly, the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain is finally available for Sport and Rubicon X trims. The 3.6-kilowatt auxiliary battery that comes with the hybrid models allows for even more accessories to be powered, giving another level of versatility to the Wrangler lineup.
Engine, Transmission, and How It Drives
There are five ways to power up your ride in the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2024. First up is a 285-horsepower, 3.6-liter V–6, which can be hooked to either an interactive six-speed manual gearbox or an automatic eight-speed. Those in search of a bit more pep can choose an optional turbocharged four-cylinder engine complementing the electric motor for extra low-end thrust. However, this option only comes with the eight-speed automatic.
If you like hybrids, the Wrangler is your thing. There is a 3.6-liter V-6 with a hybrid assist, an especially punchy plug in the form of this range’s new powertrain which comes at almost twice as much money–and horsepower; or, for one last option channeling either Carroll Shelby (i.e., Mustang) blandishments from his retirement home in Las Vegas on down to Jeremy A handy off-road lever on the center console controls part-time 4-wheel drive, which comes as standard with all Wranglers.
We drove a base two-door Wrangler Sport with V6, cutting off 0 to 60 mph in six point one seconds. But the four-door Sahara with an automatic transmission just lagged a bit at 6.8 seconds, and the five-cylinder hybrid-powered version needed only 6.5 seconds (the writer noticed that this time seems to be allowed under Porsche’s terms). If you choose the Rubicon or High Tide with other off-road accessories, they might not be so fast.
Interior and Technology Enhancements
A narrower and shorter dashboard inside the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2024 gives it a more sleek appearance than ever before. Upgrades are also incorporated on the inside, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen acting as a stage center in tech land and providing an intuitive interface to users. Advanced features combined with a luxurious touch make the Rubicon one of those high-performance all-terrain vehicles you just must have for off-road action.
Electric Power for Off-Roading
If the thought of exploring off-road trails using only electric power excites you, the 4xe powertrain is the perfect choice. With a 17.0-kWh battery pack, it offers up to 25 miles of electric-only driving, allowing for a few hours of low-speed off-roading. When the battery is depleted, the turbocharged four-cylinder seamlessly takes over, driving all four wheels like a regular Wrangler. No need to worry about getting stranded without a charge.
Efficient Fuel Usage and Actual Miles Per Gallon (MPG)
In a segment known for fuel consumption, the Wrangler stands out. According to EPA estimates, it beats competitors such as the Bronco and 4Runner in fuel efficiency. Our 75-mph highway test recorded a fuel economy of approximately 20 mpg for the V-6 Sahara, slightly fat EPA estimates but on par with normal table stakes. The turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid outshone the others, returning 26 mpg–a full two more than predicted. For additional information on the Wrangler, go to EPA’s website.
Inside the Wrangler: Style, Convenience, and Storage
Though the Wrangler is not quite the biggest SUV out there, it marries classic and contemporary Jeep sensibilities. This means that the driver has a good line of sight to the road or an off-road trail, but at its rear are rows and rolls complete with grab ropes. Want a better look? No problem. Just pop off the top and take out all six doors to get some fresh air
The driver and the front seat passenger have a narrow dashboard that is square at the top. Below it are flush-mounted, round air vents; above these sit sturdy controls for climate (if equipped), power windows (also if equipped), volume or channel on radio or infotainment.
When it comes to a day-to-day companion, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2024 has plenty of room for groceries and gear. But take note that only the rear seats fold down, not flat; and there’s a difference between the classic two-door Wrangler in cargo space and its larger four-door Unlimited model. When adventuring solo, it may simply be a case of packing light; whereas.
Entertainment and Connectivity in the Wrangler
Even with its basic Wrangler stripped of options like air conditioning and power windows, you won’t lack tech. All models include Uconnect 5, a powerful infotainment system. More than being user-friendly, this system also has a responsive 12.3-inch touchscreen display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard. They operate wirelessly without hassle.
The infotainment package adds onboard navigation, with a database of over 2000 mapped trails. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2024 also comes with active noise-cancellation so that those crucial phone calls while traveling can take place in peace and quiet.
Safety Features and Support for Wrangler Owners
The most high-tech safety gadgetry is largely reserved for vehicles with much higher price tags, but there are a few options. Of course, anyone buying a Wrangler in the $40k+ to 80k range may well expect this. However, safety remains one of its primary considerations.
This model has many key safety features. Some of them are:
- Optional blind-spot monitoring
- Optional rear cross-traffic alert
- Optional rear parking sensors
For detailed crash test results, you can check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
While Jeep’s warranty offerings for the Wrangler may not be overly exciting, they align with industry standards. The standard package includes:
- A warranty covering 3 years or 36,000 miles
- Powertrain warranty covering 5 years or 60,000 miles
On a positive note, all Wrangler models come with three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, providing additional peace of mind for new owners.
