Behind a new version of its classic seven-slot grille, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler makes its popular plug-in hybrid powertrain more widely available and adds more standard features compared with last year's version. Let's dive in to see what makes the Wrangler different for 2024.
2024 Jeep Wrangler Styling and Powertrain
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler that showed at the New York International Auto Show gains a new front end with round headlights that carve into the outermost slots. Ten new wheel designs are offered, and the previous whip antenna is now hidden in the windshield. Inside, the Wrangler's dash now hosts a 12.3-inch touchscreen.
The Wrangler's big hood covers up carryover engines, though the available plug-in hybrid that offers a manufacturer-estimated 22 miles of electric range on a full charge is now available on the entry-level Sport trim and the step-up Willys.
The base engine remains a 270-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while a 285-hp 3.6-liter V6 sticks on the options list. The top-end Rubicon 392 again uses a snorty 470-hp 6.4-liter V8. Most Wranglers use an eight-speed automatic, though a six-speed manual transmission is available with the V6. All Wranglers stick with standard four-wheel drive.

2024 Jeep Wrangler Features and Trim
For 2024, the Wrangler lineup sticks with familiar Sport, Willys, Sahara, High Altitude, Rubicon, and Rubicon 392 trim levels. It's been a while since Jeep made a truly basic Wrangler, and more comfort, convenience, tech, and safety features for 2024 nudge this off-roader further from its military roots.
This year's upsized touchscreen adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity to the mix, while power-adjustable front seats are newly available. All models gain curtain airbags mounted in the roll bar to supplement previously standard front- and seat-mounted airbags.
Myriad trim-level changes mean more features for several versions. For instance, the Wrangler Willys trim level gains some proper off-road gear, including a newly standard locking rear differential, steel rocker protection bars, a trailer towing package, and 33-inch tires. The Wrangler Rubicon, meanwhile, adds a heavy-duty truck-style "full-float" rear axle, which helps up its towing rating to 5,000 pounds. The new Rubicon X trim level goes even higher with its 35-inch tires.
For drivers less interested in off-roading, the High Altitude trim level now includes power-adjustable and heated front seats wrapped in nappa leather and a big power-adjustable sunroof as well as 20-inch alloy wheels.
Plug-in hybrid versions also gain a so-called Power Box that features four household-style 120-volt, 30-amp outlets to charge and operate smaller electronics.
2024 Jeep Wrangler Pricing and Availability
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler starts at about $34,000 in two-door form, though Jeep charges extra for any paint color other than white. The cheapest four-door version costs $4,000 more. A four-door Sport S model with extra-cost paint, a hardtop, a package containing heated seats and automatic climate control, and an automatic transmission checks in at nearly $48,000.
The range tops out at about $90,000 for a Rubicon 392, though Jeep offers some optional extras. The Wrangler 4xe sees a roughly $5,000 price cut from last year, and it now begins just shy of $52,000.
