The Jeep Wrangler has been renewed to be more competitive against the off-road Ford Bronco

Jeep is fully aware that the Wrangler is one of the most iconic SUVs of all time, and that it represents an important source of revenue for the brand, given its global popularity.

Therefore, even if its design may suggest otherwise, Jeep continues to pay special attention to it and renew it regularly. The last big development was the introduction of the 4Xe plug-in hybrid version , and the brand is currently working on an update to stay competitive against its new rival, the Ford Bronco .

More efficient and better equipped during field operations

There's no doubt that the Wrangler's electrification strategy has been successful for Jeep, given that the 4xe is currently the best-selling PHEV in the United States. This success is certainly due in large part to the clever approach adopted by the American brand, which has been able to evolve its emblematic SUV towards the electric era while preserving its distinctive characteristics.

However, Jeep is aware that it cannot rest on its laurels, especially now that the Ford Bronco has emerged as a serious competitor, offering a very similar formula to the Wrangler and offering interesting versions like the Bronco Raptor .

This is why the brand belonging to the Stellantis group has decided to update its SUV once again. Although not major modifications, these changes are intended to keep the Wrangler current and attractive, both aesthetically and in terms of its equipment and product line.

The major novelty on the exterior is the brand-new seven-slot grille, which is combined with an antenna integrated into the windshield and 10 new wheel designs.

As for the interior, it is equipped with new side curtain airbags for the first and second row seats, electric front seats, as well as the all-new Uconnect 5 infotainment system which has a central 12-inch touchscreen. .3 inches, Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay.

The range is enriched with two new versions, the Sport S 4Xe and the Rubicon X , the latter being positioned above the Rubicon . Additionally, the Wrangler comes standard with a Warn winch with a towing capacity of up to 3,600 kg and a drag ratio of 100:1.

Furthermore, this version features a new Dana 44 HF Full Float solid rear axle , which allows for an increase in tire size. The Willys also benefits from wider tires, higher ground clearance, taller wheel arches and better grip.
