The 2025 Jeep Wrangler: 2-Door and 4-Door Models Explored
The iconic Jeep Wrangler continues its legacy with both 2-door and 4-door configurations that maintain the rugged spirit and off-road capability that enthusiasts have come to expect. This year's models bring refined interiors, advanced technology, and impressive performance capabilities while staying true to the Wrangler heritage.
Design and Exterior Features
The Wrangler maintains its distinctive boxy silhouette and round headlights that have defined the model for decades. Both the 2-door and 4-door versions feature the classic seven-slot grille, though with subtle refinements for better aerodynamics.
The 2-door model measures approximately 4,237 mm in length, while the 4-door variant extends to about 4,882 mm, providing additional passenger space and cargo capacity. Ground clearance remains impressive at 274 mm, enabling the Wrangler to traverse challenging terrains with confidence.
Both versions come with removable doors and roof panels, allowing for an open-air driving experience. The latest models introduce new exterior colour options, including Anvil Gray, Tuscadero Pink, and Gobi Tan, giving owners more personalization choices.
Performance and Capability
The new Wrangler lineup offers multiple powertrain options. The standard 3.6-liter V6 engine delivers 209 kW of power and 353 Nm of torque. For those seeking greater efficiency, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder generates 200 kW and 400 Nm of torque.
The 4xe plug-in hybrid variant combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with electric motors to produce a combined 280 kW and 637 Nm of torque, while offering up to 35 km of all-electric range.
All models feature the Command-Trac 4x4 system as standard, with the more advanced Rock-Trac 4x4 system available on higher trims. The Rubicon trim boasts locking front and rear differentials, an electronic disconnecting sway bar, and heavy-duty Dana 44 axles for superior off-road performance.
The 2-door model benefits from a shorter wheelbase (2,459 mm vs. 3,008 mm), providing better maneuverability and a superior breakover angle of 27.8 degrees compared to 22.6 degrees in the 4-door variant. However, the 4-door offers greater stability on highways and more interior space.
Interior Comfort and Technology
Inside, the Wrangler offers a blend of ruggedness and refinement. The 2-door model seats four passengers, while the 4-door accommodates five comfortably. Cargo capacity in the 2-door is limited to 365 liters behind the rear seats, expanding to 898 liters with seats folded. The 4-door offers a more generous 548 liters, increasing to 1,059 liters with rear seats folded.
The updated Uconnect 5 infotainment system comes standard with a 21.3 cm touchscreen, with a 31.2 cm display available on higher trims. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wirelessly integrated, and the system includes over-the-air update capability.
New is an enhanced off-road navigation system that provides detailed trail maps and terrain information. The available 12-channel premium audio system delivers 552 watts of power through nine speakers, including a subwoofer.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The Wrangler includes more standard safety features than previous generations. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are now standard across all trims.
Additional available features include adaptive cruise control, park assist, and a new 360-degree camera system with specific off-road views that help navigate difficult terrain by showing wheel placement and obstacles.
Trim Levels and Customization
Both the 2-door and 4-door models are available in multiple trim levels, including Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, and Mojave. Each offers different levels of equipment and capability, with the Rubicon focusing on extreme off-road performance and the Sahara emphasizing comfort and on-road refinement.
The extensive aftermarket support for Wranglers continues, with numerous factory-approved accessories available to customize your vehicle for specific adventures or personal style.
