2024 Jeep Gladiator Changes: What Are the Changes For the Gladiator in 2024? – Jeep Gladiator 2024 (JT), the highly-anticipated 2024 Jeep Wrangler 2024 (JL) will be released with an array of improvements. Recently, spy shots were taken of an un-camouflaged Gladiator preproduction in the Kroger parking area. This gives us a peek at its exterior.
Although the Wrangler upgrade is mostly hidden, it can be seen in some areas of the interior. Jeep lovers can look forward to a more enjoyable driving experience with this midsize pickup. The refreshed Gladiator looks modern and refined.
Engine
It aligns the new Wrangler with an updated version of Jeep’s seven-slat Grille. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is visible behind the grille, but the exact details are not revealed. The 2024 model is likely to ditch the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 and replace it with a plug-in hybrid system (PHEV), similar to that of the Wrangler. This system will use a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder inline engine, two electric motors, and a 400-volt battery pack. The Gladiator should have 375 horsepower combined and 470 lb. ft. 2024 Jeep Gladiator Changes
Changes
It is also not confirmed whether the Gladiator will use the same full-floating rear axle as some 2024 Jeep Wranglers. This design would have many advantages for the pickup truck, such as improved durability, an increased towing rating, more wheel and tire choices, and greater flexibility when it comes to trailside repairs.
The model in question is the High Altitude preproduction. Wrangler will offer the High Altitude trim exclusively on the 4xe model starting in 2024. This preproduction model suggests that Gladiator models other than 4xe will also offer the High Altitude trim. The High Altitude model features 12-way heated and power front seats as well as an integrated camera and Selec-Trac transfer case. It also has a unique appearance, with body-colored bumpers and 20-inch wheels.
For the 2024 Jeep Gladiator, a facelift is being done for this new model year. The spy photos show it without camouflage. We can therefore confirm that the design is similar to the Jeep Wrangler 2024.
The same grille with seven slots is shared, but it has a more confident appearance, new headlights, and revised bumpers. Rear-end features could include new LED taillights and a refreshed bumper.
We can now only see one tow hook instead of the two previously seen. The size of the truck bed is not expected to change. Gladiator has the same regular antenna. The Wrangler antenna is incorporated into the windshield. It still has the Jeep look.
Interior
The interior of the Gladiator 2024 remains camouflaged, but several details indicate a major upgrade. Spy shots show an automatic transmission. This gives hope for the Gladiator to retain the manual option, as the Wrangler did. It is possible to see the familiar transfer case with its four high and four low gearings, which will maintain Gladiator’s off-road capability.
The 2024 Wrangler High Altitude model has a Mantis Green exclusive interior color. This is on the mid-bolster of the instrument panel and the Nappa Leather seats. We expect that this camouflage will cover it up.
Gladiator will likely receive a similar design to that of the Wrangler with a widescreen 12.3″ infotainment screen. The touchscreen, which will be powered by Jeep’s Uconnect 5, is expected to offer wireless Android Auto integration and Apple CarPlay, providing seamless connectivity for the occupants.
The spy photos suggest that the interior of the Jeep Gladiator 2024 will be updated. In the spy shots, the dashboard has been covered. This could indicate that the current 8.4-inch touchscreen will be replaced with a bigger unit.
A new screen of 12.3 inches is available on the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler could get an updated digital gauge cluster, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto wireless, new button layouts, improved storage solutions, upgraded materials, and an auxiliary switch.
The 2024 Jeep Gladiator is likely to borrow the Jeep Wrangler’s ionic styling in order to be a more attractive Jeep truck. With the Gladiator’s 4xe potential and new tech, we can expect more power and efficiency.
This summer, the 2024 Gladiator is expected to arrive in dealerships. Keep an eye out for more clues as we track the Gladiator.
Release Date
Our sources claim that the production of the Jeep Gladiator 2024 is set to start on November 27, 2023, at the Toledo Assembly Complex. The updated Gladiator is expected to make its official debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit scheduled for September.
