2024 Jeep Wrangler: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler gets a mid-cycle refresh led by a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen across the lineup. It is a meaningful update rather than a full redesign.
About the 2024 Jeep Wrangler
JL generation (2018-present), mid-cycle refresh year.
Jeep positions the Wrangler as the original open-air 4x4: a vehicle built around removable doors and roof panels, strong trail capability, and a wide range of personalities from basic utility to luxury, plug-in hybrid, and V8 performance. What sets it apart is that it still feels purpose-built for adventure rather than merely styled to look rugged. Even in its more comfortable trims, the Wrangler’s core appeal is freedom, trail access, and unmistakable Jeep character.
The lineup stretches from the simple, trail-ready Sport to the more polished Sahara and the harder-core Rubicon. The 375-hp 4xe plug-in hybrid appears in several trims, while the Rubicon 392 pairs a 6.4-liter V8 with serious off-road equipment. Rubicon X adds more comfort and cabin technology to the trail-focused formula.
What changed, by category
Trim lineup
Sport S 4xe, Rubicon X, Rubicon X 4xe, Jeep Beach 4xe, and Rubicon 392 Final Edition joined the lineup. Freedom, High Altitude with gas power, High Tide, Jeep Beach with gas power, both Rubicon 20th Anniversary trims, Rubicon FarOut, Sahara Altitude, Sport Altitude, and Willys Sport were dropped.
Powertrain
The diesel engine was dropped from the Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sahara, and Rubicon trims. The new Sport S 4xe brought the 375-hp plug-in hybrid system to a lower-entry trim.
Styling
Jeep revised the seven-slot grille and moved the antenna into the windshield, removing the old external mast.
Safety
First- and second-row side-curtain airbags became standard across the lineup. Adaptive cruise control moved from optional to standard on High Altitude 4xe, Rubicon, Rubicon 4xe, Sahara, Sahara 4xe, Sport S, Willys, and Willys 4xe.
Tech
A 12.3-inch touchscreen with newer Uconnect 5 software became standard on every Wrangler. High Altitude 4xe also gained the Wrangler's first 12-way power front seats.
Structural and trail hardware
Rubicon and Rubicon 4xe gained a heavy-duty full-float rear axle. Willys and Willys 4xe added a locking rear differential, steel rock rails, and Off-Road+ trail mode, while Rubicon added a factory-winch option.

2024 Jeep Wrangler Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2024 Jeep Wrangler.
4.1
2024 Jeep Wrangler
(206 reviews)
“I would recommend buying the non-hybrid version of Wrangler. Regular gas vehicles make more sense for me. Getting 30 miles on electric is not worth the effort of charging.”
“It's fun to drive, very reliable, and comfortable for all drives. The ability to take the doors and roof off is super fun for the summer. I get really excited every time I drive it.”
