The new 2024 Jeep Wrangler is the Best SUV of 2024, according to Cars.com. The editors of Cars.com considered all SUVs available in the United States to decide which vehicle displays the best combination of versatility, capability, and value, selecting the extensive Wrangler family as the cream of the crop. Indeed, in a market flooded with SUV options, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler emerged victorious. As mentioned, this award is more than an honor; it is reflective of the Wrangler SUV’s exceptional fusion of capability, versatility, and value that has captivated intrepid adventurers and daily commuters alike.

Jenni Newman, Cars.com editor-in-chief, had high praise for the Wrangler, stating, “The 2024 Wrangler is versatile, capable, and a deserving winner of our Best SUV of 2024 award.” To that end, it is not just the standard Wrangler that is turning heads; the Wrangler 4xe, a plug-in hybrid variant, is also making waves with its comfort and enhanced capability. 

The Defining Features of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Readers might wonder what sets the 2024 Wrangler apart. For starters, Jeep has upped the ante on capability, introducing features such as a 100:1 crawl ratio, a full-float Dana rear axle, an 8,000-pound-capacity Warn winch, and increased towing capabilities straight from the factory. These upgrades ensure that the Wrangler can dominate the most challenging terrain with ease. 

That said, it is not all about off-road prowess. Inside, drivers will find a haven of advanced safety features and comfort. For example, the new interior of the Jeep Wrangler boasts a standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen radio, available 12-way power-adjustable front seats, and standard side curtain airbags in the first and second rows, prioritizing peace of mind and convenience.

Legacy of the Wrangler

It is worth noting that Bill Peffer, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America, emphasized the Wrangler vehicle’s status as an icon of adventure, declaring, “The Jeep Wrangler is the ultimate adventure vehicle and the icon of the brand.” He added, “Since Wrangler’s introduction, the Jeep brand has sold more than 5 million around the world, setting new levels of 4×4 capability with each new generation. The new 2024 Wrangler raises the bar once again.”

Of note, the global sales figures are staggering, making it evident that the brand has struck a chord with customers who crave adventure and capability. One of the most enticing aspects of the 2024 Wrangler is its diverse range of powertrain options. From the fuel-efficient Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, boasting a remarkable 49 miles per gallon equivalent, to the powerhouse 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 Rubicon 392 with a stout 470 horsepower, there is a powertrain to suit every lifestyle and driving preference.
