2027 Jeep Wrangler: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler gets a light trim-and-equipment update, not a redesign. The biggest change is Sahara’s much richer package of standard comfort, technology, and driver-assistance equipment.
About the 2027 Jeep Wrangler
4th-generation JL (introduced for 2018), tenth model year and three model years after the 2024 refresh; no new generation or mid-cycle restyle for 2027.
The Wrangler is Jeep’s open-air, body-on-frame off-road SUV, built around removable doors and roof sections, solid axles, low-range 4WD and a shape rooted in the brand’s military-era heritage. Jeep positions it for trail use and outdoor recreation while keeping everyday touchscreen, comfort and driver-assistance features. Its key distinction from most compact SUVs is genuine low-speed off-road hardware combined with factory open-air capability.
The lineup stretches from the straightforward Sport to the trail-focused Rubicon and comfort-oriented Sahara. Rubicon pairs front and rear locking differentials with a disconnecting front stabilizer bar, while the 470-horsepower Willys 392 and Moab 392 supply V8 performance. Moab 392 adds Nappa leather, premium audio, and more complete trail hardware than Willys 392.
