2027 Jeep · SUV
Open-air 4x4 on solid axles, with a V8 option
Starting MSRP*$36,635
The Jeep Wrangler is the two- and four-door off-roader built around a ladder frame, solid front and rear axles, and a roof and doors that come off. For 2027 it is offered with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a V6 or a 6.4-liter V8, and a lineup that runs from the basic Sport to the Rubicon X and the 470-hp 392 models. It suits buyers who want real trail hardware straight from the dealer and care more about capability and personality than a plush highway ride.
The Great Lakes take
A Wrangler in the Great Lakes comes with a trade-off: it is a capable trail Jeep, and salt is hard on a vehicle with exposed hardware. The 2027 lineup starts at $36,635 for the Sport, with a 285-hp V6, a 270-hp turbo four on the Sahara or a 470-hp 6.4-liter V8 on the 392 models. Jeep lists 9.7 to 12.9 inches of clearance and fording of 30 to 34 inches, which suits flooded Ohio River roads and West Virginia creek crossings. The Smoky Mountain trim, at $50,545, is a nod to the Tennessee side of the range. Towing is up to 5,000 lbs. Winter driving works with 4x4 and winter tires, and a soft top or hard top will affect comfort. Rinse the undercarriage often.
The Wrangler is built to go fully open. Jeep says the Sport's doors lift off on quick-release hinges with no tools, and it calls the available Sky One-Touch power top class-exclusive, with push-button open-air driving that does not require leaving the cabin. Freedom hardtops and soft tops come on other trims.
Command-Trac and the part-time Rock-Trac are simple, strong setups for drivers who want a mechanical feel. Selec-Trac and the full-time Rock-Trac add an automatic mode that is useful on slick pavement and snow. Rubicon models use Rock-Trac's 4.0:1 low range with locking axles, and Jeep claims crawl ratios up to 100:1 when properly equipped.
The 2.0-liter turbo four makes 270 hp and returns the best fuel economy of the three. The 3.6-liter V6 makes 285 hp and is the only way to get a manual transmission. At the top, the 6.4-liter V8 puts out 470 hp and 470 lb-ft and is standard on the four-door Willys 392 and Moab 392.
A four-door Rubicon with the LT315 tire package reaches 12.9 inches of ground clearance, a 47.4-degree approach angle and a 40.4-degree departure angle. The two-door's 32.4-degree breakover angle is the best of any Wrangler, and water fording tops out at 34 inches.
Every trim carries a 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen with Apple CarPlay support and Android Auto compatibility, which Jeep calls largest in its class. Sport, Sport S and Willys add a 7-inch digital gauge cluster this year. Rubicon X and Moab 392 include an integrated TrailCam off-road camera, and so does Sahara for 2027.
10 trim levels, listed from entry to top of the range, offered as 2-Door or 4-Door.

Any vehicle driven on salted roads can, and the Wrangler's exposed frame and underbody parts deserve attention. Regular undercarriage rinses in winter, an annual inspection for flaking and a rust-proofing treatment help. Wranglers that stay on dry roads in summer and are washed in winter tend to age better than those left wet for months.
The Rubicon, from $47,130, is the usual answer. It has the highest clearance, up to 12.9 inches on the four-door with LT315 tires, and fording up to 34 inches, according to Jeep. The Sport and Sahara are rated for 30 inches. The 6.4-liter V8 is fun but thirsty, at 13 city and 16 highway mpg, and it requires premium fuel.
The most a 2027 Wrangler is rated to tow is 5,000 pounds, and only a four-door Rubicon with the automatic transmission, 4.10 axle ratio and LT285 tires qualifies. Most other four-doors are rated at 3,500 pounds, and the 3.6-liter two-door is rated at 2,000 pounds.
There are three: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 270 hp and 295 lb-ft, a 3.6-liter V6 with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft, and a 6.4-liter V8 with 470 hp and 470 lb-ft. The V6 is the only one offered with a six-speed manual, and the V8 comes only on the four-door Willys 392 and Moab 392.
No. Jeep's 2027 Wrangler lineup is gas-only, with the turbo four, V6 and V8, and the 2027 build-and-price tool offers no plug-in hybrid. The 4xe belonged to earlier model years, so shoppers who want one should look at pre-owned or leftover listings.
The Wrangler Sport starts at $36,635 as a two-door and $39,985 as a four-door, before the destination charge, based on Jeep's pricing in November 2026. Rubicon X starts at $57,030 for the two-door and $61,230 for the four-door, the Willys 392 starts at $70,995 and the Moab 392 at $79,995.
Sahara is the more road-oriented four-door, with a standard turbo four, premium audio and a long list of comfort and driver-assist features. Rubicon is built for the trail, with Rock-Trac 4x4 and 4.0:1 low range, locking front and rear differentials, an electronic sway-bar disconnect and 33-inch-class tires.
Not especially, because of its boxy shape and off-road gearing. The turbo four is the most efficient at an EPA-rated 20/23 mpg city/highway, the V6 is rated 17/22 to 17/23, and the V8 returns 13/16.
