2024 Jeep Wrangler: Conquer Any Trail with Enhanced Off-Road Capability

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler debuted at the 2023 New York International Auto Show. The refreshed off-road-aimed 4×4 has more technology, capability, and comfort, a trait the Wrangler was never known for. The front fascia was slightly redesigned but still retained the seven-slot grille Jeep Wranglers, and Jeeps in general, are known for. It now features gray, metallic bezels, black textured slots, and body-color surround. Another exciting change is the return of the Sahara-based High Altitude luxury trim for the 2024 Wrangler 4xe. This time, it will be its own stand-alone trim, no longer falling under the Sahara trim, with the Sky-One Touch power top as standard equipment.
The Willys trim is characterized by gloss black slots and bezels. High Altitude trims wear gloss black bezels, while the Sahara variant bears silver. Jeep announced the slots bolster cooling and allow for the all-new 8,000-pound Warn winch option. The winch comes in at a lofty $1,995 but for good reason. The new winch is utilized to pull the Wrangler and other off-road vehicles out of sand, ruts, water, and mud. Not only that, the winch is just one of a series of other upgrades from the Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) catalog.
A Quieter Wrangler
For example, a new antenna is integrated into the windshield to avoid obstacles such as branches and trees. According to the editors at Car and Driver, “The quaint external wire antenna that used to whistle at speed and wobble when driven through brush is history, finally replaced by an in-glass windshield antenna.” Several soft and hardtop choices are also provided. Additionally, there are ten wheel designs directly from the factory, measuring between 17 and 20 inches and more door options from Jeep Performance Parts. Tires can get up to 35 inches, but buyers will require the new axle to go bigger.
What the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has to Offer
On Rubicon trims, consumers can select the Dana 44 HD full-float rear axle. This aspect of the vehicle is undoubtedly for hardcore off-road enthusiasts and separates the wheel hub assembly from the axle shaft. That means the weight of the automobile is transferred to the axle tube, leaving the shaft–the part that spins the wheels–free to do only that.
In addition to the Dana axle, Rubion iterations have Jeep’s Rock-Trac part-time transfer case, Tru-Lok front- and rear-axle lockers, electronic front sway-bar disconnect, and 17-inch wheels encased in 33-inch tires. As remarkable as the new trimmings are, the Rubicon X tops that with the brand’s most extreme Rock-Trac full-time transfer case, steel bumpers, an off-road camera, and a 35-inch tire package.
Jeep Wrangler Interior
The 2024 Wrangler cabin comes equipped with soft touch surfaces, new brackets for storage, and contrasting stitching. Buyers can expect High Altitude, Rubicon X, and Rubicon 392 trims to provide quieter atmospheres with thicker carpet, acoustic front glass, and supplementary sound deadening foam in the front cowl and windshield header. A brand new 12.3-inch touchscreen unit broadcasts information via the Uconnect 5 software.
Car and Driver describes the display unit as “the best part: The mondo screen is standard across the board, from the lowliest $33,690 MSRP (Plus destination fee) two-door Sport up to the $89,390 MSRP (Plus destination fee) (!) Rubicon 392.” There is also an Android operating system that comes outfitted with navigation preloaded with trails; that is to say, even if a driver gets out of GPS range, they will still be protected. Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay come standard with the system, as does the choice to connect two phones. Over-the-air updates will keep everything fresh, including the customizable home screen.
