The Jeep brand is synonymous with off-road capability, and its reputation is as solid as its hardware. If you've wondered how the two most recent model years have changed, we have the tea on their features and pricing below!
Key Takeaways
- The 2026 Wrangler starts at $37,485 and goes up to $82,585, as of December 30, 2025.
- 2025 Wrangler models are between $34,090 and $101,990.
- The Rubicon 392 V-8 lives on for at least one more year, despite its Final Edition billing. It returns as one one 12 special edition models for 2026.
What are the differences between the 2026 and 2025 Jeep Wrangler?
The "final edition" of the Rubicon 392 turned out not to be quite so final. It's still available in 2026 as the Moab 392, the first of 12 special-edition models for this year. It features unique decals and a matching removable top painted like the Jeep's body color. Aside from that, everything else is the same.
Trims prices for 2026 are:
- Sport: $37,485
- Sport S: $41,235

Power windows and locks became standard in '25. An olive military color dubbed "'41" joined the palette as a nod to the original Jeep. And, after some reflection and public outcry, Jeep once again began offering automatic V-6 models in 2025.

What changed for the Jeep Wrangler Engine and Towing Power?
The standard setup is a 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6, and you can have it with either a six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic. If you go with the 270-horsepower turbo four or step all the way up to the 470-horsepower V-8, the automatic comes standard. And since every Wrangler is built with dirt in mind, most trims get part-time four-wheel drive by default, while a full-time system is available on the Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon--and comes standard on the 392.
The Jeep's towing capacity has a range of 2,000 pounds for the two-door to 3,500 pounds for the four-door. The Rubicon 392 can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Jeep Wrangler Space and Modern Tech Features
The Wrangler's upright windshield and squared-off dash put you nearly on top of the action. Second-row passengers get more space in four-door models than in two-door models, but cargo space is lacking here. Four-door Wranglers offer more than enough room to take all your items along on an adventure.
Jeep's Uconnect 5 infotainment system features a 12.3-inch touchscreen, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Depending on the trim, you have access to 3000 mapped trails through a subscription service, making it useful anywhere there's a trail or highway.
Will You Choose to Take Home a Jeep Wrangler?
No matter which year you go with, the Wrangler's got what you need for the open road. With its doors off, roof down, and a ready for whatever vibe, there's nothing that compares to a Jeep experience. Contact Coleman Motors when you're ready to see both model years up close!
