Tested: 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited V-6 AWD AutoĮPA fuel economy testing and reporting procedures have changed over time.First Drive: All-New 2018 Jeep Wrangler.While the Wrangler JL offers vastly improved on-road performance compared with the vehicle it replaces, it still wanders in its lane and requires frequent steering inputs to keep it tracking straight. The ride in the four-door is acceptably smooth over rough surfaces, but the shorter two-door delivers a rougher ride. Performance at our test track shows that the Wrangler JL is much improved compared with the previous model, but it’s still truck-like in comparison with today’s refined SUVs and pickups. Sahara models also can be spec’d with a full-time all-wheel-drive system-a Wrangler first-called Selec-Trac. Sport, Sport S, and Sahara trims come standard with a part-time four-wheel-drive system. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder will join the lineup later in 2018 and will make 270 horsepower with the help of a mild-hybrid setup that Jeep calls eTorque. Wranglers are born off-road ready, so part-time four-wheel drive is standard across the range and is controlled by a lever on the center console.

The standard 285-hp 3.6-liter V-6 from the previous-generation Wrangler makes its way under the hood of the new JL and can be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox or a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic. The two-door model is simply called the Wrangler, while the four-door is named Wrangler Unlimited. Designed to honor the Wrangler’s ancestry and off-road capability while also improving passenger space, comfort, and on-road performance, the JL is much improved over the last generation.
What's New for 2018?Īlthough it may not look like it, everything about the Wrangler is all-new for 2018, and it wears a new model designation-JL-to differentiate it from the outgoing Wrangler JK that will be sold alongside the new Wrangler for 2018. And few others that can conquer terrain like a Wrangler. There are comfier, roomier, and more fuel-efficient SUVs, but no others that offer the freeing feeling of popping the entire top on a sunny day. Wranglers come in two- and four-door body styles and are equipped with a 3.6-liter V-6-a turbocharged four-cylinder and a diesel V-6 are joining the lineup soon-that powers all four wheels through a variety of available all- and four-wheel-drive systems. Like the wartime Jeep it’s descended from, today’s all-new Wrangler, code-named JL in this generation, will go just about anywhere. A charming anachronism with roots dating back to World War II, it virtually started the SUV craze.
