The 2026 Jeep Wrangler arrives with a blend of fresh design touches, technical refinements, and unmatched off-road capability. Leading the lineup is the new Wrangler Moab 392, powered by a 470-horsepower V8 engine, redefining what open-air adventure feels like.
New Highlights for 2026
Jeep enhances its off-road icon with functional and aesthetic upgrades. The new door hinge system allows quicker and easier removal, letting drivers enjoy the signature open-air freedom with less effort. Limited-edition colors, including Reign, Goldilocks, Joose, Earl Grey, and Tuscadero, bring fresh energy to the familiar Wrangler silhouette.
New 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, 35-inch all-terrain tires, and a 4.56 axle ratio elevate the Moab 392’s off-road confidence. The addition of a dual-mode exhaust and cold-air intake hood with a water separator reinforces the SUV’s performance-ready character.
Powertrain Options and Performance
Under the hood, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler offers three proven powertrains. The 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 delivers 270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 3.6-liter V6 produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic gearbox. At the top of the range, the 6.4-liter V8 in the Moab 392 unleashes 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, channeling raw performance through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Capability and Engineering Excellence
The Wrangler continues to set the benchmark for off-road strength. When properly equipped, it delivers a best-in-class towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and crawl ratios up to 100:1. Jeep’s advanced 4×4 systems, Command-Trac, Rock-Trac (part-time and full-time), and Selec-Trac, provide unmatched control across any terrain.
With approach, departure, and breakover angles of 47.4, 40.4, and 26.7 degrees respectively, and a ground clearance of 12.9 inches, the Wrangler remains ready for any challenge. Its ability to ford up to 35 inches of water ensures true all-terrain confidence.
Trims and Customization
The 2026 lineup includes seven trims: Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sahara (four-door only), Rubicon, Rubicon X, and the top-tier Moab 392. Each variant combines trail-rated performance with specific comfort and equipment levels to suit every driving style.
Exterior color options expand significantly this year. Alongside established favorites like Black, Granite Crystal, and Firecracker Red, Jeep adds several new shades, including Goldilocks and Joose, arriving later in the model cycle. Interior choices now include Black and a striking Black/Mantis Green combination.
Manufacturing and Availability
Assembled at the Toledo Assembly Complex, the 2026 Wrangler embodies Jeep’s enduring craftsmanship and American engineering heritage. The model is now available in dealerships nationwide, offering enthusiasts more ways than ever to tailor their perfect off-road companion.
Performance and Power
Every Wrangler powertrain emphasizes balance between strength and control. The Moab 392’s V8 defines the lineup’s peak, pairing immense torque with refined on-road manners. Whether exploring rugged trails or cruising highways, the Wrangler’s engineering ensures every drive feels authentic, connected, and powerful.
Summary
The 2026 Jeep Wrangler combines modern refinement with legendary off-road capability. With the new Moab 392 leading the charge, enhanced door systems, and an expanded color palette, Jeep continues to evolve while staying true to its adventurous spirit.
