How Much Is the 2027 Jeep Wrangler?

What’s Changed for 2027?

There are no major changes to the Wrangler, but a bevy of small updates to assorted trim levels.

The Sport, Sport S and Willys get a 7-inch digital instrument-cluster display. Keyless entry is added to the Sport S and Willys. The Sahara receives the biggest windfall, with 2026’s Popular Equipment Group, previously a $2,495 option, now standard. The bundle includes leather upholstery, a nine-speaker Alpine sound system, navigation, blind spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, a front-facing TrailCam to help spot obstacles off-road, and running boards. (Jeep is prying an extra Lincoln out of buyers, though, as the Sahara’s base price is up $2,500 from year over year.) Lastly, heated seats, a heated steering wheel and navigation are now standard on the Rubicon.

Fuel Economy

The 2027 Wrangler is available with three engines, two of which are paired with automatic transmissions but one offering a choice between an automatic and a six-speed manual. 4WD is standard on every Wrangler regardless of drivetrain. The 3.6-liter V-6, standard on all but the Sahara and 392 trims, is the oddball: It makes 285 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet of torque and can be had with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic.

A 270-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard on the Sahara, optional on every other trim except the 392s. Though the power with the four-cylinder drops, torque increases to 295 pounds-feet. The turbo four is also more efficient than the V-6.

The range-topping Wrangler 392 trim levels are named for the cubic-inch displacement of their 6.4-liter V-8. Borrowed from Dodge’s muscle-car lineup and Ram pickup trucks, the 6.4-liter generates a tremendous 470 hp and 470 pounds-feet. Like the turbo four-cylinder, it’s paired exclusively with an eight-speed automatic.

Interior and Off-Road Features

The entry-level Wrangler Sport is a basic box for driving off-road, with 17-inch steel wheels wearing all-season tires; skid plates protecting the transmission, transfer case and fuel tank; and tow hooks front and rear. The Sport gets a black soft top, remote keyless entry and push-button start. The seats are cloth and manually adjustable in front, but the steering column tilts and telescopes, it has air conditioning, and there’s even ambient lighting. The 12.3-inch touchscreen includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it controls an eight-speaker sound system.

The Sport S upgrades to 17-inch aluminum wheels, but keeps the all-season rubber. It also adds tinted windows, a Gorilla Glass windshield (the Wrangler’s upright glass is notoriously susceptible to rock chips), heated exterior mirrors and proximity keyless entry. The tech suite is upgraded with a 7-inch digital display in the instrument cluster as well as adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.

The Wrangler starts to ramp up its off-road capability with the Willys. Here, it gains lower gearing for more torque on extreme terrain, as well as an upgraded front axle, locking rear differential, black 17-inch wheels wearing 33-inch all-terrain tires, and rock rails to protect the lower body from impacts. The Willys also adds LED headlights and daytime running lights, a black grille, domed and vented hood, the requisite Willys decals, and prewired auxiliary switches for aftermarket accessories.

Building off the Willys, the Rubicon adds a sturdier transfer case, upgraded rear axle and locking front differential, as well as red tow hooks. More civilized for 2027, the Rubicon also includes LED taillights, navigation, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and automatic climate control.

If you want a Wrangler for on-road comfort, you’re crazy — but the Sahara is your rig. It’s the only Wrangler in which the turbo four-cylinder is standard, and it ditches the upgraded axles and locking differentials of the Willys and Rubicon. The Sahara wears 18-inch wheels with all-season tires and coddles its occupants (relatively speaking) with leather upholstery, power-adjustable and heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, navigation, nine-speaker Alpine audio system and upgraded interior trim. It also adds blind spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, Jeep’s front-facing TrailCam, rear parking sensors and remote start.

In the context of the Wrangler, you’d be forgiven for thinking “X” is short for “extreme,” but you’d be wrong. The Rubicon X is the luxurious evolution of the standard Rubicon, boasting a body-color hardtop with a headliner, body-color fenders and noise-insulated front windows. Inside, it builds on the Rubicon with premium leather, power-adjustable seats, the Alpine sound system and upgraded trim. The Rubicon X does get tough stuff like more durable steel front and rear bumpers as well as the TrailCam, but it also sports civilized features such as blind spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors and automatic high beams.

As its name makes clear, the Willys 392 is a Willys with a big honkin’ V-8 engine. It’s also a Willys with full-time 4WD, upgraded brakes, a heavy-duty rear axle, 35-inch all-terrain tires, steel bumpers, a trailer hitch with wiring, the TrailCam and a hood scoop. The Willys 392 isn’t all macho, though, as it also gets the luxury and technology features from the Rubicon X and Sahara.

Capping off the Wrangler lineup, the Moab 392 is a Willys 392 with a body-color hardtop and a locking front differential — and, of course, different stickers.

Versus the Competition

Okay, maybe there is one thing quite like a PB&J. After having its niche to itself for decades, the Wrangler got its first direct competitor in generations when the Ford Bronco launched in 2021. If you’re looking for a hardcore off-roader with a removable top and doors, these two remain your only choices. Toyota also builds some capable rock hoppers, but it’ll take more time and a saw to realize the same degree of open-air freedom that you’ll enjoy in the Wrangler and Bronco.
