2022 Jeep Wrangler Review

We can't think of a more capable or iconic vehicle than the Jeep Wrangler. Want to cruise down by the beach or traverse a rugged trail? There's a Wrangler for you. Although Jeeps haven't changed that much in the grand scheme of things, their continued evolution means the current Wrangler offers more creature comforts and usability than ever before. Jeep also offers five different engines for the Wrangler, so whether you're looking for fuel economy, power or a mix of the two, odds are there's one that will satisfy.

The Wrangler's best potential fuel economy comes from the Wrangler 4xe. It has a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and plug-in hybrid componentry. That combination produces 375 horsepower plus about 22 miles of all-electric range on a full battery charge. Frequently recharging can really help save on gas. But once you use up the battery, the 4xe hybrid only gets around 20 mpg, which is no better than the Wrangler's regular V6.

Prefer fuel swilling to fuel sipping? The Wrangler Rubicon 392 should satisfy. For this model Jeep drops in a thumping 470-hp 6.4-liter (392-cubic-inch) V8 engine. Hammer the gas and you'll rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. Impressively, the Rubicon 392 retains all of the Rubicon's impressive low-speed off-road ability too.

However, the Wrangler is no longer the only big fish in its small pond. In recent years the Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner have been joined by other rugged SUVs. The Land Rover Defender is packed with sophisticated off-road tech while the Ford Bronco gives you Ford's take on what an off-roading SUV should be. Even with the added competition, the Wrangler is still a one-of-a-kind driving experience. Read our Expert Rating below to get our test team's take on the Wrangler's performance, comfort and more.

The Jeep Wrangler is an SUV available as a two-door model or as a four-door model called the Unlimited. The two-door Wrangler is available in two main trim levels: Sport and Rubicon. There are also a few subtrims based on the Sport: Willys Sport, Sport S, Willys and Altitude. The four-door Wrangler Unlimited offers the additional choice of the Sahara, the 4xe plug-in hybrid (Sahara or Rubicon trim only) and the Rubicon 392. Most Wranglers come with a part-time four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing. A full-time 4WD system is optional.
