2021 Jeep Wrangler

• Overview

  

  Has it really been 80 years? It seems like only yesterday that Jeep debuted its iconic first vehicle that captured the world’s imagination as the first true go anywhere, do anything vehicle. Those first Jeeps were able to stand up to the rigors of the field, helping to win a world war and doing it in style. That tradition of rugged and dependable 4-wheel drive vehicles is continued with the new 2021 Jeep Wrangler.

  This may be the best Wrangler yet, with a roomy and comfortable interior, an exceptional selection of powertrains, and a choice of so many different trims and special editions that the only problem you will have is choosing which one is the right one for you. 2021 also brings the first-ever hybrid Jeep Wrangler. The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is a plug-in hybrid that allows you to take your Wrangler on an adventure while protecting the same environment you wish to explore.

  The 2021 Jeep Wrangler carries on the 80-year tradition of excellence dating back to 1940 when those first Jeeps rolled off the assembly line and into battle. Today, the Jeep Wrangler will help you battle the elements with a design and engineering that has withstood the test of time. Whether you are buying your Jeep Wrangler for an off-road challenge or simply meeting the daily challenges of your commute, you are getting a vehicle that you know can withstand the rigors of winter snow and summer heat. The Jeep Wrangler’s unique 4X4 suspension will give you the traction and control to handle the elements, and its ability to become a fully open-air vehicle will allow you to enjoy the warm weather as well.

  Engine Options

  Jeep offers drivers a choice of five different engine options on the 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The base engine is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with engine stop/start technology (ESS). This automatically turns the engine off when you come to a full stop, restarts it as soon as you take your foot off the brake, and improves fuel efficiency while reducing engine emissions. This engine produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

  The 3.6-liter engine is standard on all models except the 4xe, the 80th Anniversary, and the High Altitude. The Jeep Wrangler 80th Anniversary and High Altitude come equipped with a 2.0-liter Turbo I-4 engine with ESS. This engine can produce up to 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

  The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is a plug-in hybrid that has a 2.0-liter DOHC Turbo I-4 PHEV. As a hybrid, the engine seamlessly moves between the gas engine and electric motor to produce the most optimal fuel economy and performance possible. As a result, the Wrangler 4xe produces 375 horsepower and an impressive 470 lb-ft of torque. The Wrangler 4xe utilizes regenerative braking to capture the energy produced every time you step on the brakes and recycles it to recharge this Jeep’s 400-volt 17-kWh lithium-ion battery.

  Jeep also offers two optional engines for all models of the Wrangler except the 4xe. The first is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque, a mild-hybrid system designed to boost the engine’s torque production. As a result, this engine produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The second engine is a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine that produces 260 horsepower and a powerful 442 lb-ft of torque.

  Transmission

  The standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 gas engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The other engines come equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission. These transmissions afford the driver a great deal of control over the engine’s performance, while the additional gear speeds improve overall engine efficiency.

  Towing Capacity

  The 2021 Jeep Wrangler offers exceptional towing capability. If you have a two-door Wrangler, you can tow up to 2,000 pounds of trailer. This increases to a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when you choose a 4-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

  4x4 for a Reason

  One of the biggest reasons to buy a Jeep is to be able to hit the trail with confidence. The 2021 Jeep Wrangler has an exceptional 4X4 drivetrain that can handle the off-road while providing an exceptional ride when you’re not out on your latest adventure. Jeep’s Command-Trac 4X4 system improves the Wrangler’s traction by delivering torque to each wheel to deliver incredible traction when needed. Some models also feature the Selec-Trac 4x4 System, which will improve efficiency by automatically switching to two-wheel drive on clear roads.

  The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon takes things to another level altogether with the Rock-Trac 4X4 System. This features Tru-Lok electronic front and rear locking differentials, an Electronic Front Sway Bar Disconnect, and the ability to automatically switch from two-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive when the system senses slippage. This is truly the ultimate in 4X4 drivetrains.

  Trail Rated

  Jeep shows its dedication to providing the best off-roading experience by proudly displaying the Trail Rated badge on every Wrangler. This is not just a pretty badge, but rather an indication that this Jeep has run the full gauntlet of off-road tests proving it can withstand tough terrain, harsh conditions, and bad weather. The Wrangler is capable of providing impressive traction and articulation, is able to ford water with ease, is easily maneuverable, and has the ground clearance to drive over anything on the trail.
