Interior details

Unsurprisingly for a vehicle like the Jeep Wrangler, the 2022 model is as angular-yet-attractive on the inside as it is on the outside. The styling is bold and comprised of solid, sturdy materials. The lower trims rely on hard plastics as standard, but sophisticated leather upholstery is available as an added option. Leather trim becomes standard for the 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392.

Cargo volume for the base 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sport is 31.7 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. Unlimited versions of each Jeep Wrangler trim have significantly more cargo space; the Unlimited Sport offers 72.4 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. Two-door models of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler have four seats, while the four-door Unlimited versions have five seats.

Child seat details

Two-door models of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler have two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the rear seats. Unlimited models have two sets of LATCH connectors for the rear outboard seats and a tether anchor for the middle seat.

Performance

The base engine for the 2022 Jeep Wrangler is a 3.6L V6 engine with 285 hp, which can be paired with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. This is the only engine with a manual option—the others offer automatic as standard.

There's also a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 270 hp for the Unlimited version of each trim. The 6.4L V8 with 470 hp is exclusive to the Rubicon 382 trim and enables the vehicle to achieve zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds.

The base 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sport with the 3.6L engine achieves an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined and reaches zero to 60 in 6.8 seconds.

Year comparison

2006–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (Third Generation)

The third generation—officially called the JK generation—of the Jeep Wrangler introduced a four-door version for the first time, as well as a refreshed look. The iconic seven-slat grille from the original Willys model was added to each trim, and the appearance of the Wrangler was generally made smoother yet still rugged.

Inside there was a new dashboard design and all the same perks—including removable roof and doors—as before. By 2013, Jeep introduced easily adjustable seats for additional comfort, and a 10th anniversary Rubicon was released with additional off-road features.

In 2016, the Black Bear trim was introduced, and in 2017 Jeep added optional luxuries like heated seats and available remote start.

2018–2022 Jeep Wrangler JL (Fourth Generation)

The JL generation received a full redesign, including features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, as well as new interiors. Later, in 2019, modern technologies like adaptive cruise control and forward-collision warning became available. In 2021, the Rubicon 392 trim and 4xe plug-in hybrid sub-trim were also introduced.
