The Evolution of an Icon: 2025 Jeep Wrangler Takes the Lead
The legendary Jeep Wrangler continues its impressive legacy with the latest model, bringing significant upgrades that blend modern technology with its trademark rugged capability. For those who crave adventure without compromise, the newest iteration of this off-road icon delivers a compelling package that pushes boundaries while honoring its storied heritage.
A Modern Take on a Timeless Design
The Jeep Wrangler maintains its unmistakable silhouette with the seven-slot grille, round headlights, and iconic wide-body frame that has defined the vehicle for generations. What sets this year’s model apart is the attention to practical upgrades that enhance both form and function.
Power locks and windows now come standard across all Wrangler models – a welcome addition that brings everyday convenience to this adventure-ready vehicle. The squared-off design continues to deliver that classic Wrangler look while housing more sophisticated technology than ever before.
This year introduces the new '41 exterior paint color, a military olive drab-inspired finish that pays homage to the original 1941 Willys MB. This thoughtful nod to the Jeep military roots connects modern adventurers to the brand’s legendary beginning.
For those who prefer vibrant statements, the new model introduces the eye-catching Mojito and Joose exterior paint options, ensuring Jeep Wrangler owners can express their personality whether tackling rugged trails or cruising through everyday drives.
Unmatched Capability Reaches New Heights
The Jeep Wrangler continues to set the standard for off-road capability with impressive specs that leave competitors in the dust. Models equipped with the available Xtreme 35 Tire Package deliver extraordinary off-road performance with a best-in-class breakover angle of 32.4 degrees on two-door Rubicon models.
Ground clearance reaches an impressive 32.7 cm on internal combustion engine (ICE) models, ensuring the Wrangler can confidently tackle challenging terrain. The approach angle of 47.4 degrees and departure angle of 40.4 degrees further cement its position as the most capable SUV in its class.
Every Wrangler has Dana solid axles, a two-speed transfer case, traction control, tow hooks, four-wheel disc brakes, and skid plates as standard features. Rubicon models offer access to a Dana 44 HD full-float rear axle typically found on heavy-duty commercial trucks for even more extreme performance. This robust design consists of a wheel hub assembly separate from the axle shaft, with a spindle bolted to the axle tube that supports the wheel hub via wheel bearings.
The Wrangler offers impressive hauling capabilities with four-door Rubicon models delivering a best-in-class towing capacity of 2,267 kg when properly equipped. For the truly adventurous, Rubicon models can be equipped with a factory-installed 3,629 kg-capacity Warn winch – perfect for tackling the most challenging off-road situations.
Powertrain Options: A Choice for Every Adventure
The Jeep Wrangler presents a diverse range of powertrain options to suit different driving preferences. The standard 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine now pairs exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission for those who prefer complete control over their driving experience.
Those seeking convenience can opt for the 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission, offering a balance of power and efficiency.
The class-exclusive plug-in hybrid 4xe powertrain is the standout option, which pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged gas engine with two electric motors and a high-voltage battery pack. This innovative system delivers remarkable efficiency with an average fuel economy of up to 4.8 Le/100 km. The 4xe offers approximately 35 kilometres of all-electric range, making it perfect for quiet trail exploration or everyday commuting.
The Wrangler 4xe’s E-Selec driving modes give drivers precise control over their driving experience:
Hybrid Mode: Intelligently blends power from the gas engine and electric motor for optimal efficiency and performance
Electric Mode: Operates on zero-emission electric power until the battery reaches minimum charge or more torque is needed
eSave Mode: Prioritizes the gas engine to preserve battery charge for later use, such as silent off-roading or navigating areas where internal combustion engines might be restricted
4xe: Electric Capability Without Compromise
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe continues to dominate as a best-selling plug-in hybrid vehicle, offering adventurers a unique blend of electric efficiency and trail-rated capability.
With unmatched crawl ratios up to 77.2:1, the Wrangler 4xe maintains the legendary off-road prowess Jeep is known for while introducing the benefits of electrification. Four advanced 4x4 systems remain available: Command-Trac, Rock-Trac (in both part-time and full-time configurations), and Selec-Trac.
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe offers impressive off-road geometry with approach angles of 43.9 degrees, departure angles of 37.0 degrees, and breakover angles of 22.6 degrees, complemented by 27.7 cm of ground clearance. Every 4xe model has Dana solid axles, a two-speed transfer case, traction control, tow hooks, four-wheel disc brakes, and skid plates.
The 4xe is available exclusively in four-door configuration across five trim levels for 2025: Sport S 4xe, Willys 4xe, Sahara 4xe, Rubicon 4xe, and Rubicon X 4xe. The Willys 4xe includes a standard rear locker and 33-inch tires, while the Rubicon X 4xe elevates the experience with Nappa leather seats featuring 12-way power adjustment for both driver and front passenger, body-colour hardtop, Uconnect 5 with integrated navigation, and a forward-facing off-road camera.
