The 2024 Jeep reinforces its legendary history with all-terrain capability, open-air freedom and advanced technology safety features.

Jeep Wrangler is available in two body styles: two-door and four-door unlimited. Trim levels include Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sahara, High Altitude, Rubicon, Rubicon X and Rubicon 392.
Rubicon X and Sport S 4xe are additions to the 2024 Wrangler lineup. Rubicon X comes with standard 35-inch tires, two powertrain options, steel bumpers and an integrated off-road camera.

"With the plug-in 4xe leading the lineup, the new Wrangler takes the best and makes it better,” said Jim Morrison, Jeep Vice President. “It has even more legendary 4x4 capabilities, thanks to a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, water fording power seats, more safety features and our first full-float Dana rear axle that makes it possible for Wrangler owners to upsize tires easily."
