If you’re searching for an off-road SUV that’s both fun and budget friendly, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler has plenty to offer. Not only is there a range of options to suit every taste, but there are also different trim levels and body styles to choose from.
Unfortunately, the four-door Wrangler’s safety credentials are less than stellar. It received unimpressive ratings from NHTSA and IIHS for front crash tests.
Exterior
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler is an iconic off-road SUV designed to be versatile and enjoyable to drive. With plenty of customization options available, it can be tailored to meet the needs of any driver.
The Wrangler boasts a bold look designed for off-road adventures. Choose from several paint colors such as Sting-Gray, Billet Silver Metallic and Granite Crystal Metallic for the ultimate off-road experience.
Inside, there’s plenty of room for passengers and an infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen display. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are supported, plus wireless device charging is available as well.
The Wrangler offers an array of standard safety features, including rearview day/night mirrors, power front windows, and speed-sensitive power locks. Furthermore, an anti-theft alarm system comes standard.
Interior
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler offers a range of interior color choices and high-end seating materials, depending on the trim level. Sport, Willys and Rubicon models feature standard premium cloth bucket seats or optional black or dark saddle leather-trimmed low-back bucket seats for added luxury.
Two-door models boast 31.7 to 72.4 cubic feet of cargo room, while four-door options provide up to 103 cubic feet. The Rubicon adds a removable cargo floor that lets drivers conceal gear and items from sight.
No matter the model, however, the Wrangler’s interior offers a distinctive experience compared to most SUVs on the market today (and an enormous improvement over its predecessors).
The interior of the Jeep Grand Cherokee provides a comfortable seating position and more raked windshield than previous Jeeps, allowing you to sit tall and get an unobstructed view of either road conditions or off-road terrain.
Technology
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler is a beloved SUV known for its tough exterior and impressive off-road capabilities. However, it also boasts cutting-edge technology features and innovations designed to enhance safety, comfort, and convenience for modern Jeep drivers.
The Trail Rated Jeep SUV provides you with a choice of powertrain options and 4×4 systems to meet your requirements. Choose from the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with Engine Stop/Start, eTorque or mild hybrid e-Torque; 2.0-liter Turbo or PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric) electric powertrain on Wrangler four-door models; or an available 470 horsepower 6.4-liter V-8 HEMI(r) engine for serious off-road adventure.
The Rubicon 4xe model comes equipped with a Rock-Trac NV241 full-time transfer case featuring a 4:1 low range gear ratio, Dana 44 front and rear heavy-duty axles with 33″ all terrain tires, as well as an electrically retracting front sway bar and skid plates to protect the undercarriage.
Off-Road
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler is one of the last remaining vehicles that offers off-road capabilities right out of the box. To stay competitive against new rivals like Ford Bronco, Jeep and parent company Stellantis gave the Wrangler an extensive mechanical and technological makeover.
Whatever model you select, your Wrangler comes equipped with three reliable 4×4 systems to help you conquer trails: Command-Trac, Selec-Trac and Rock-Trac. Each system offers 2.72:1 low range which makes it ideal for off-road driving and rock crawling.
Selec-Speed Control is standard on most trims and helps you maintain a steady speed when traversing challenging terrain. This feature prevents your vehicle from slipping or sliding while off-roading, making it an essential requirement for any serious off-road enthusiast.
The Rubicon is the top of the line off-roading trim for the 2023 Jeep Wrangler and it stands out in many ways. It comes equipped with an innovative Rock Trac System, 33″ off-road tires, electronic sway bar disconnect and steel rock rails as well as a 6.4 liter HEMI V8 engine that produces 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.
