2020 Jeep Wrangler review

1. Open-air experience

The 2020 Jeep Wrangler gives you many roof options to let you feel the wind through your hair. A Sunrider^® Soft Top comes standard on all 2020 models and features a zipperless design that's easy to glide open with spring-loaded support bars. But, if you want an open-air experience, the optional three-piece Freedom Top^® Modular Hardtop can be partially or fully removed depending on your preference and the weather. A Sky One-touch Power Top is also available (Sahara and Rubicon four-door versions only) and lets you enjoy the sunshine with the push of a button.

2. Confident off-roader

If your ideal day involves climbing over rocky terrain or slicing through sand dunes with the top and doors off, the 2020 Wrangler Rubicon is a mighty trail master. Available in two- and four-door body styles, the Rubicon tackles wild territory while riding on 17-inch wheels and heavy-duty front and rear axles with shorter gearing. Electric front and rear locking differentials and a disconnecting front sway bar also come standard, helping the Wrangler maximize its off-road capability.

3. Powertrain options

Whether you are looking for a fun beach cruiser or a serious off-roader, the 2020 Wrangler is available with several powertrain options to suit your lifestyle. A 285-hp 3.6L V6 comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission or an optional eight-speed automatic, or you can opt for the available turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with 270 hp and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Both variants offer a mild-hybrid eTorque system on 2020 Sahara trim levels to enhance fuel economy and energy-generation functions. A 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel will come available on mid-2020 models and deliver 260 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque.

4. Head-turning looks

With names like Bikini, Hella Yella, and Firecracker Red, the 2020 Wrangler lets you match your personality to a rainbow of 11 fun and vibrant exterior colors. Soft- and hardtop roof options are also available in black, tan, and body-color choices, depending on the trim you choose, while the interior includes black and tan options in cloth and leather. The addition of bold wheel designs and iconic Wrangler styling gives you the look that you want with the utility that you need.

5. Built for fun

As a truck-based SUV, the 2020 Jeep Wrangler has the solid foundation you need to tackle the toughest conditions. All models feature a strong body made from high-strength steel paired with aluminum, making the Wrangler lighter in weight while still providing a very strong chassis. The body-on-frame is also well suited for trail-blazing adventures, plus the Wrangler's 3.6L V6, 3.0L V6 diesel, and 2.0L four-cylinder engines can tow an estimated 3,500 lbs. when properly equipped.
