Which Jeep Gladiator model is best?
The Gladiator starts at an MSRP of $39,995 this year. All models will come standard with the same 3.6 liter V6, which provides 285 Horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The base model, the Sport, provides a similar Gladiator experience as 2024, but with the automatic transmission coming standard. Also featured is a premium folding soft top, removable doors, a 12.3 inch touchscreen, and Android Auto/Apple Carplay compatibility.
The Nighthawk is the next trim in the lineup. It will start at an MSRP of $43,785, providing buyers with a 44” Dana front and rear axles, a 3-piece hardtop, deep tint glass, and 20-inch wheels for what Jeep dubs “a complete and compelling look.”
From there, the Gladiator Willys is expected to start at $47,095, and tacks on monstrous 32-inch mud-terrain tires, adding on Rock rails and a locking rear differential which will provide a real boost to rear traction in slippery conditions. The Rubicon is the highest trim. Expect an MSRP of $52,995. This trim adds a custom rear axle ratio, tow hooks, an additional front locking differential, and a special two-speed transfer case that’s certain to improve off road torque delivery.
The Mojave, an adjacent trim that’s highly specialized for high speed desert trails, does away with the locking front differential and stabilizer bar found on the Rubicon, but adds an exclusive Fox internal bypass shock absorbers, and an extra inch of lift on the front suspension.
Finally, the Gladiator 4xe, estimated to start at an MSRP of $58,000, switches out the Pentastar V6 switched out for a 2.0 liter inline four that combines with two hybrid motors to produce 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Certain trims will also support add-ons, namely a removable hardtop, full-time four-wheel drive, a front facing camera, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. There are also plenty more options available for your 2025 Gladiator, allowing for a great degree of flexibility.
How many Miles per Gallon does a 2025 Jeep Gladiator get?
The Pentastar V6 that will power the Gladiator is primarily known for its kick and its reliability. Though its mileage varies depending on the model, the Gladiator likely manages 19 MPG out of the long used power plant, with the optional hybrid available on the Gladiator 4xe expected to be able to nearly double that, making around 49 miles to the gallon.
