THE 2024 JEEP WRANGLER HAS been given increased spec across the range and will arrive in Jeep dealerships from April, starting at $75,950. The world’s most capable and iconic SUV adds enhanced styling, new technology and safety features; all while delivering the freedom only a Jeep Wrangler can offer.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler range includes four variants, all of which have more added value than the previous model year for no additional cost: new Sport S 4DR (replaces Night Eagle 4DR), Overland 4DR, and Rubicon 2DR and 4DR.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler has with updates made across multiple areas; key 2024 updates include:
The most significant change is its new 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbo petrol engine, boasting 200kW of maximum power and 400Nm of torque. Compared to the previous engine, this delivers similar power at a lower RPM and substantially higher torque while being more fuel-efficient and delivering an unchanged towing capacity.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler line-up boasts the esteemed Trail Rated badge, showcasing an unparalleled specification list that includes Dana solid front and rear axles, a 2-speed transfer case, traction control, and four skid plates. Elevating the standard, the new model introduces the next-generation HD Dana 44 full-float rear axle and a forward-facing TrailCam exclusively on Rubicon models.
The innovative Rubicon full-float rear axle design separates the wheel hub assembly from the axle shaft, enhancing weight distribution to the axle tube. This design allows for improved lateral force camber compliance and facilitates easier customisation for tyre upsizing.
The all-new 12.3-inch touchscreen is the largest and most advanced display ever offered on Wrangler, and houses the Uconnect 5 system. New features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, fully customisable home screen for quick access to frequently used features and one-touch operation, simultaneous connectivity for two Bluetooth-enabled devices, five user profiles plus a valet mode with customisable music preferences, apps, seat position, mirror angles and climate comfort level.
The TrailCam eliminates close-proximity blind spots during trail navigation and aids in power delivery on angled bends. Placed atop the Jeep grille, the camera lens remains debris-free, and an automatic washing system ensures clear visibility.
Emphasising efficiency, the 2024 Wrangler incorporates lightweight, high-strength aluminium closures and a body-on-frame design with a 5-link front and rear suspension. The suspension features upper and lower high-strength steel control arms, full-width high-strength steel track bars, and tuned shocks for a balanced on-road and off-road performance.
The Wrangler’s capability is further enhanced by 4×4 systems tailored to each model. Sport S and Overland models feature the Selec-Trac 4×4 System, providing both part-time low and high range and high range full-time automatic 2WD to 4WD transitions based on conditions. Rubicon models come standard with the Rock-Trac 4×4 System, offering a 4:1 low gear ratio, 77.2:1 crawl ratio, Tru-Lok electronic locking front and rear differentials and an electronic front sway bar disconnect.
Safety
The 2024 Wrangler line-up introduces a standard inclusion of first and second row side curtain airbags across all models, complementing the existing driver and passenger front and side seat-mounted airbags. Another new feature is the rear seat reminder alert (4DR only) which informs the driver when children or packages may inadvertently be left behind. Coupled with the existing suite of safety technologies, the 2024 Wrangler stands as an impressive and well-rounded safety package.
