As a direct descendant of the famous Willys Jeep that helped win the Second World War, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler has a lot to live up to. The Wrangler has long been synonymous with rugged off-road capability and an iconic design that has stood the test of time. But the enhancements and evolutions in the 2024 Wrangler lineup prove that Jeep is committed to keeping the Wrangler not just relevant, but revolutionary.
Solar-Powered Performance
Perhaps the biggest innovation in the recent Wrangler lineups has been the addition of the plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe. Sporting a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 gasoline and electric motor, the 4xe offers both added fuel efficiency and power, putting out a total of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque to conquer nearly any terrain, all while getting an estimated 49 mpge. And with a 21-mile electric-only range, most 4xe drivers can skip the pump altogether on their daily drives.
Jeep is even taking the unprecedented step to bring solar-powered charging stations to key trails across the United States, allowing Wrangler 4xe drivers to drive on the power of sunshine, defending their environment even as they conquer it.
Suspension and Towing
One of the most significant updates is the introduction of the first full-float Dana rear axle, which enhances the Wrangler’s off-road prowess. Electronic sway bars and Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials help make sure power is equally distributed across the 4×4 drivetrain, of which there are 4 great options to choose from.
Additionally, the newly available, factory-installed, 8,000-pound-capacity Warn winch and increased 5,000-pound tow capability on certain trims of the Wrangler give Wrangler drivers the ability to help others out of tough situations or to bring plenty of gear to the trailhead.
Safety and Technology
The 2024 Wrangler doesn’t just stop at performance; it also steps up its game in safety and technology. The SUV now comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen media system, ensuring connectivity and entertainment on the go. Moreover, the inclusion of more tech and safety features makes the Wrangler a more comfortable daily driver while maintaining its off-road credentials.
The 2024 Wrangler stands as a testament to Jeep’s ability to innovate while preserving the essence of what makes a Wrangler a Trail-Rated classic. With its blend of traditional design and modern upgrades, the new Wrangler is poised to continue its reign as a favorite among off-road enthusiasts.
