Review

The new Wrangler 2024 features a body-on-frame design, a five-link suspension, and unrivaled capability. It also offers refined road dynamics and advanced safety.

Wrangler has four skid plates to protect the vehicle’s critical components, such as the transfer case, automatic transmission oil pan, and fuel tank. Willys, Rubicon, and other models are equipped with rugged steel tubular rock rails that help prevent body damage.

Aluminum closures that are lightweight and high-strength, such as doors, hinges and hoods and fender flares, and windshield frames, can help to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency.

Wrangler will continue to use its proven coil-spring suspension system for 2024. Wrangler’s front suspension includes two upper and lower high-strength control arms to control the longitudinal direction and a track bar across the car for control of the lateral side. The five-link rear suspension has a layout similar to that of the front suspension. It features two high-strength control arms, one upper, and another two lower, for longitudinal control and a cross-car track bar for lateral control.

Front and rear track bars of full width are made from high-strength steel. They have been positioned so that they can control the lateral movement with the least amount of angle changes during suspension travel. Shocks have been tuned to provide the best balance of on-road and off-road performance, while also providing optimal ride comfort and body-roll control. Wrangler Rubicon features an electronic front-sway bar disconnect to allow for additional wheel travel on rough terrain.

There are more than 85 advanced security and safety features available.

The new Jeep Wrangler 2024 was designed with safety and security in mind. It offers over 85 active and passive security and safety features. First- and second-row side curtain airbags are standard on all 2024 models, complementing the driver front and passenger airbags as well as front-seat mounted driver and passenger side airbags.

Wrangler’s 2024 model features pre-tensioners on the second-row outboard seatbelts, load limits, and structural improvements to improve side impact performance.

Sport S models and higher now include advanced cruise control and forward collision warning. ParkSense’s rear parking assist system and blind-spot detection with cross-path detection are standard features on the 2024 Jeep Rubicon X, Rubicon 392, and High Altitude.

Design

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler is characterized by a design that is sculptural and instantly recognizable. It features traditional Jeep styling cues. This iconic grille was first seen on the Rubicon model of 2023. The new 2024 Wrangler has been updated with black-textured slots. Neutral gray bezels are also available. The new grille is slimmer visually as well as literally. Its vertical black-textured slots allow for better cooling and also fitment of a new Warn winch that’s available in the Rubicon model.

The previous antenna was a steel mast. A new stealth trail antenna is integrated into the windshield, streamlining the appearance of the Wrangler and removing brush or tree branch snags.

Wrangler now has a new rolling stock, with tires ranging in size from 32-35 inches, thanks to ten standard and optional wheel styles, ranging from 17-20-inch diameter, and beadlock capable wheels included as part of the Xtreme 35 package.

There are many open-air options available, such as a standard premium soft top, two hardtops in black and body color, the exclusive Sky One-Touch powertop, Sunrider Hardtop, and a dual door group with half doors. This means that there are hundreds of combinations for doors, tops, and windshields, so Wrangler owners can tailor their adventure off-road to suit their needs.

Interior

Interior features of the new Wrangler are a blend of premium technology and Jeep-like functionality. A clean and sculpted center stack, inspired by heritage design, complements the horizontal dashboard. Wrapped instrument panels feature new surfaces in polyurethane or fabric with accent stitches. The dash now features new AMPS brackets.

All models come with improved voice recognition that uses microphone arrays. Standard on High Altitude Rubicon X, Rubicon 392, and 2024 Jeep Rubicon X, a premium cabin package includes acoustic glass in front, thicker carpet, and sound-deadening foam at the front cowl, windshield header, and B-pillars. This ensures a quieter drive.

The new 12.3″ touchscreen is the largest and most technologically advanced display available on a Wrangler. It sits prominently above the rectangular slim inboard vent and houses the award-winning Uconnect 5. Outboard air vents keep their circular design.

Uconnect 5 offers operating speeds five times as fast compared with the previous generation. Uconnect 5 offers flexibility by using Android and OTA updates.

New Wranglers are well-equipped to stay connected on the road. Dual USB Type C ports are standard for front-row passengers, allowing devices to be charged up to four times faster. Up to seven USB Type A or Type C, ports are available for each row of the Wrangler. The new Wrangler is equipped with standard 12-volt accessory sockets and has a 115-volt AC outlet for powering select home electronics.

Jeep will become the first automaker to offer built-in adventure off-road trail guides in its new Jeep Wrangler 2024. The new Jeep Wrangler is the first Jeep to feature the Trails Offroad system. This comprehensive guide makes planning off-road trips easier and more accessible than ever.
