The Jeep Wrangler specifications read like an off-road brief rather than a city SUV sheet. A 2.0 litre turbo petrol of 1995 cc makes 268 bhp at 5250 rpm and 400 Nm at 3000 rpm. That torque, sent through low-range gearing, is what pulls the Wrangler up steep and broken ground.
Every version uses the same 8 speed automatic and full-time four wheel drive, so there is no gearbox choice to weigh. Instead the trims differ in trail hardware. The Rubicon adds heavier off-road equipment over the Unlimited, aimed at owners who tackle the toughest tracks.
The dimensions explain the character. At 4882 mm long, 1894 mm wide and 1848 mm tall, on a 3007 mm wheelbase, it stands high and square. Ground clearance is a serious 237 mm, and the fuel tank holds 81 litres. That height and width give a commanding view over the road ahead. Five seats and an 897 litre boot make it usable day to day.
On fuel, the turbo petrol is rated at 10.6 to 11.4 kmpl, modest figures that suit a heavy petrol off-roader. Real economy depends heavily on terrain and how often you use low range. You can read the Wrangler mileage range in full for the published numbers.
Feature and safety kit reflect its imported, premium position. Airbags, stability control and off-road drive aids come as standard fit across the range. The removable doors and roof are the headline hardware, letting you open the vehicle right up. You can also browse the Wrangler colour options before ordering.
