The Jeep Wrangler is a well-known SUV that offers rugged capability and an adventurous spirit. As Jeep continues to evolve the Wrangler, each new model year brings exciting updates and enhancements. With the 2025 and 2026 Wrangler models already available, let's see how these two models compare to one another.
Exterior Styling Refresh
The 2026 Jeep Wrangler gets a styling refresh, while the Wrangler's seven-slot grille, round headlights, and muscular fenders remain iconic elements, it does receive a restyled front and rear bumpers, new wheel designs, and updated lighting elements. Whether you're cruising around Worcester, MA, or hitting the trails outside the city, the 2026 Wrangler's refreshed exterior is sure to turn heads.
Interior Updates and Upgraded Technology
Inside, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler benefits from a host of updates, including a new Uconnect infotainment system with a 12.3-inch display. There's also wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. For adventures around Boston, MA, and beyond, there's even an available 12-speaker Alpine audio system.
The latest Wrangler also offers new trim and upholstery options, including a leather-wrapped dashboard and console on select trims. Contrast stitching and upgraded materials throughout the cabin give the 2026 model a more premium feel compared to the outgoing 2025 Wrangler.
Powerful and Efficient Powertrain Options
Powering the 2026 Jeep Wrangler is a revised powertrain lineup with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with several enhancements that bump horsepower and torque while improving fuel economy. On your next road trip from Providence, RI, you'll appreciate the extra power and longer driving range.
New for 2026, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain gets a larger battery pack and electric motors, resulting in increased all-electric range and total system output. The Wrangler 4xe provides ideal power, efficiency, and trail-tackling capability as you're commuting around Franklin, MA, or venturing off-road.
Trail-Ready Enhancements
Of course, the Jeep Wrangler is all about off-road capability, and the 2026 model takes it to the next level. The Wrangler Rubicon trim now comes standard with 33-inch tires and upgraded shocks for even better performance on tough terrain. Jeep has also made its Selec-Trac full-time 4x4 system available on more trims, so you can enjoy sure-footed traction whether you're exploring hills near Attleboro, MA, or navigating snowy streets in Mendon, MA.
The Wrangler's available front and rear locking differentials, electronic sway bar disconnect, and forward-facing trail camera are all enhanced for 2026 to give you even more capability when the pavement ends.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2026 Jeep Wrangler adds several advanced safety and driver assistance features to help you avoid accidents on the roads around Norwood, MA. Blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection, and advanced brake assist are now standard on all Wrangler trims. Available active driving aids like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and intersection collision assist provide an extra layer of safety and convenience.
Jeep has also upgraded the Wrangler's high-strength steel frame and added new front and side airbags for enhanced crash protection. With these safety enhancements, the 2026 Wrangler is the most technologically advanced and protective model yet.
