As is the case every year, the Jeep Wrangler comes with its share of updates for 2025. The American manufacturer's SUV will now feature standard power-locking doors and power windows. Believe it or not, crank windows were still an option last year. While I appreciate this evolution, I must admit it tugs at my nostalgic heartstrings, as it's the kind of feature automotive enthusiasts of a certain age tend to cherish. Beyond that, the American SUV gains new color options and a few additional interior features like active ventilation.
When it comes to variety, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler lineup offers plenty, with over 16 different configurations available. Prices range from $39,995 to $78,785 for the standard model. For the 4xe variant, prices range from $63,267 to $87,585. Of course, some versions are eligible for various government subsidy programs, significantly reducing their cost. The price for the 392 version had not been disclosed at the time of writing.
While perfectly capable of getting you to work, picking up the kids from school, or running errands, off-road driving is the main reason buyers are drawn to the Jeep Wrangler. It belongs to a niche category with only a handful of models. On paper, it might look like a simple mid-size SUV, but in reality, it's much more. As you might have guessed, the Jeep Wrangler doesn't face much natural competition. In fact, the Ford Bronco is its true rival at present. However, the rising popularity of highly capable off-road models will likely bring similar vehicles to the market in the coming years.
Rivals: Ford Bronco, Ineos Grenadier, JLR Defender, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Land Cruiser
The Jeep Wrangler is one of those rare vehicles whose design is beyond criticism. It's a classic and unique model, instantly recognizable on the road. As I've mentioned, it's a vehicle chosen with emotion, which explains why it offers one of the most vibrant color palettes in the industry. It's a head-turner wherever it goes.
The interior design of the American SUV is visually appealing, especially with the addition of the new multimedia system screen. However, what bothers me slightly is the cabin space and the quality of certain finishes. This becomes even more apparent as you move up the range since the finishing quality doesn't improve much, which is hard to swallow given the price difference between the base and higher-end versions.
The 2025 Jeep Wrangler offers four mechanical options:
The Jeep Wrangler is a true legend. It's one of the rare models purchased not for getting from point A to point B but for its unique capabilities.
The Jeep Wrangler is a vehicle bought with the heart, not the head. That's why it has built an entire community around it. Buying a Jeep Wrangler is more than just acquiring a new vehicle—it's joining a large family, making the experience even more rewarding.
