The new 2024 Jeep® Wrangler, the most off-road capable and recognised SUV in the world, is coming to the UK with an unmatched combination of off-road capability, authentic Jeep design, open-air freedom, advanced powertrain and superior on and off-road dynamics.
The latest evolution of the iconic SUV adds greater capability, new technology and advanced safety features, while staying true to the Wrangler formula and delivering the freedom to go anywhere and do anything.
The new Jeep Wrangler is available in Sahara and Rubicon trims, priced from £60,785 OTR and £62,785 OTR respectively, with first deliveries scheduled in the first half of 2024.
The 2024 Wrangler’s iconic seven-slot grille wears an updated look with black textured slots, neutral grey metallic bezels, and body-colour surround (platinum silver slots and bezels on Sahara). A new trail-ready stealth antenna integrated into the front windshield replaces the previous steel mast antenna, streamlining Wrangler’s appearance and eliminating brush or tree limb snags on the trail. Four new wheel designs also freshen the Wrangler’s exterior, along with a new Anvil paint colour option.
Inside, customers get to experience more comfort and safety, with a new refined interior featuring 12-way power front seats, the latest 12.3” Uconnect 5 touchscreen infotainment system and side curtain airbags in the first and second rows, all equipped as standard.
Jeep is taking the Wrangler capability game to new heights with its first full-float Dana rear axle on Rubicon models. The axle design means the weight of the vehicle is transferred to the axle tube rather than the axle shaft itself. The result is an axle shaft that is only subjected to torsional loads, with its sole function being to transmit power to the wheel hub, making the axle stronger and more robust.
The 2024 Wrangler features second-row outboard seatbelts with pre-tensioners and load limiters, as well as structural improvements for side-impact performance. The list of standard ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) now includes Drowsy Driver Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Traffic Sign Information (available from Q1 2024).
The Wrangler is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with engine stop-start (ESS) rated at 272hp and 400Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
“The new 2024 Jeep Wrangler is enhancing its role as the “hero model” of the Jeep line-up by combining the legendary capability with more technology, comfort, and safety features,” said Eric Laforge, Head of Jeep® Brand in Europe.
“The Jeep Wrangler is the natural heir of the legendary Willys, the vehicle that has inspired the brand’s spirit and soul; since its arrival in 1987 it has been a mainstay of the SUV world and we’re very proud to celebrate the five millionth Jeep Wrangler.”

Legendary go-anywhere 4x4 capability: Most capable SUV ever without compromise
- The new 2024 Jeep Wrangler delivers legendary off-road capability and is the most capable ever with best-in-class. It is equipped with two advanced 4x4 systems:
- Rock-Trac full-time transfer case
- Selec-Trac full-time transfer case
- Crawl ratios of up to 77:1
- Water fording of up to 760mm at a maximum speed of five miles per hour
- Uncompromising approach, departure and breakover angles and ground clearance for the highest spec:
- Approach angle: up to 36.6 degrees
- Breakover angle: up to 21.4 degrees
- Departure angle: up to 31.8 degrees
- Ground clearance: up to 253mm
Every Wrangler model’s Trail Rated badge reflects an unmatched specification list that includes Dana solid front and rear axles, two-speed transfer case, traction control, tow hooks, four-wheel disc brakes, four skid plates and a minimum tyre size diameter of 81cm. The new 2024 Wrangler continues to raise the bar with the all-new next-generation Dana 44 HD full-float rear axle on Rubicon models.
Typically found on heavy-duty commercial trucks, Wrangler Rubicon’s first full-float rear axle design consists of a wheel hub assembly that is separate from the axle shaft, with a spindle bolted to the axle tube that supports the wheel hub via a pair of wheel bearings. By using a full-float axle design, the weight of the vehicle is transferred to the axle tube rather than the axle shaft itself. Thus, the axle shaft is subjected only to torsional loads, with its sole function being to transmit power to the wheel hub. This makes the axle stronger and more robust.
Legendary capability for Wrangler Rubicon comes from a full list of off-road features, including:
- First Dana 44 HD full-float solid rear axle
- Rock-Trac part-time transfer case with 4:1 4LO ratio
- Electronic front sway-bar disconnect
- Tru-Lok front- and rear-axle lockers
- 17” aluminium wheels with BFGoodrich mud-terrain tyres
Proven body-on-frame design is the foundation for legendary Jeep capability
Using a body-on-frame design and featuring a finely engineered five-link suspension system, the new 2024 Wrangler delivers unrivalled capability, refined on-road dynamics and advanced safety features.
To protect critical vehicle components while on the trail, including the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan, Wrangler features four skid plates.
The use of lightweight, high-strength aluminium closures, including the doors, door hinges, hood, fender flares, windshield frame and magnesium swing gate, helps reduce weight and boost fuel economy.
For 2024, Wrangler continues to use the proven five-link coil suspension setup. Wrangler’s front suspension features two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for longitudinal control and a cross car track bar for lateral axle control.
The five-link rear suspension features a similar layout to the front suspension, with two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for longitudinal axle control, and a track bar for lateral axle control.
The front and rear full-width high-strength steel track bars are positioned to control lateral movement of the axle with minimal angle change during suspension travel.
The shocks are tuned for optimum balance between on-road handling and legendary off-road capability, delivering ideal ride comfort, body-roll control, and dynamic handling.
On Wrangler Rubicon models, an electronic front sway-bar disconnect is featured to provide additional wheel travel when the terrain calls for it.
Iconic Jeep Wrangler design: new grille, wheel designs and multiple open-air freedom options
The new 2024 Jeep Wrangler builds on a sculptural design aesthetic that is immediately recognisable with its traditional Jeep design cues. The 2024 Wrangler’s iconic seven-slot grille wears an updated look with black textured slots, neutral grey metallic bezels, and body-colour surround (platinum silver slots and bezels on Sahara). Slimmer both visually and literally, the new grille’s black textured vertical slots improve cooling.
A new trail-ready stealth antenna integrated into the front windshield replaces the previous steel mast antenna, streamlining Wrangler’s appearance and eliminating brush or tree limb snags on the trail. Four new standard and optional wheel designs, from 17 to 20” diameter, freshen Wrangler’s rolling stock.
Multiple open-air freedom options, including two available standard hardtops (black and body colour), exclusive Sky One-Touch power top, Sunrider for Hardtop, and dual-door group with half doors, mean there are multiple door, top and windshield combinations so Wrangler customers can customise their off-road adventure to their specific needs.
Wrangler is also available in 10 eye-catching exterior colours, including: Anvil (NEW), Earl, Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal, Silver Zynith, High Velocity, Hydro Blue, Sarge, Bright White and Black.
Authentic interior design boasts premium features and technology
The new Wrangler’s refined interior is loaded with premium features and technology along with Jeep functionality and versatility. The heritage-inspired centre stack features a clean, sculpted form that complements the horizontal dashboard design. A wrapped instrument panel features new soft-touch surfaces, in fabric or polyurethane, with contrast accent stitching. New AMPS bracket provisions are now featured on top of the dash.
Standard on all models is improved hands-free voice recognition, which now uses microphone array technology.On Rubicon and Sahara, a standard premium cabin package adds acoustic front glass, thicker carpet and additional sound-deadening foam in the windshield header, front cowl, and B-pillars for a quieter ride.
An all-new 12.3” touchscreen – the most advanced and largest display ever offered on Wrangler – houses the fifth-generation award-winning Uconnect 5 system and sits prominently atop the centre stack, right above the new slim rectangular inboard air vent. The outboard air vents retain their signature circular shape.
Uconnect 5 delivers operating speeds that are five times faster when compared to the previous generation. By using an Android operating system and over-the-air (OTA) updates, Uconnect 5 brings flexibility that will allow the system to continuously evolve to offer new content, features and services.
