Engine Options

For model year 2024, one of the biggest changes that Jeep Wrangler fans in the Mishawaka, IN area will notice is that its previously optional diesel engine has now been discontinued. This leaves the beloved SUV with four impressive engines to choose from, down from five in previous years. The new powertrain lineup includes:

• A 3.6-liter V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque
• A Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, rated for 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque
• A 6.4-liter V8 (which the engineers at Jeep label the "392" and is strictly available with the four-door style Jeep Wrangler Rubicon trim), with 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque
• A plug-in hybrid (called the Jeep Wrangler 4xe) with 375 horsepower, 470 pound-feet of torque, and a 21-mile electric-only driving range

Performance

True to its nature as a Jeep brand SUV, the latest Jeep Wrangler models also offer the performance and handling that longtime fans and newcomers will appreciate. In addition to the impressive power output ratings mentioned above, each Jeep Wrangler trim and engine configuration delivers off-road capability, including part-time four-wheel drive with low-range gearing, or optional full-time four-wheel drive capability.

Regardless of which engine and trim you prefer, every new Jeep Wrangler also comes with a handful of special performance features that make trail rides easier and more comfortable, including skid plates and tow hooks.

Best of all, thanks to its great performance and strength, the Jeep Wrangler is also helpful when you have a small camper or boat to tow. Depending on which configuration you choose, this SUV has a tow rating ranging from 2,000 pounds to 4,000 pounds.

For drivers with families or who just need more space, the four-door Jeep Wrangler is slightly larger. It has seating for five people, and the rear cargo hold has space for 31.7 cubic feet.
