Given the Wrangler’s long military service, Jeep has had many years to refine its design to handle rough terrain efficiently, and much of it remains the same today. There’s no doubt that the 2024 Jeep Wrangler is perfectly suited to exploring out in the wild. Frequent campers, off-roaders, and more will appreciate all of the features and technology included specifically for enjoying the great outdoors, even in the base model.

Design

While the 2024 Wrangler’s design is classic, it’s also one of the most adaptable on the market. It has so many potential configurations that it will be easy to create exactly what suits you best. However, the budget-friendly lowest Sport trim may have all you need, right off the lot, whether you prefer two or four doors, four or five seats. Whichever you choose, you’ll love the thrill of riding roads and trails without any roof or doors.

Though the Sport trim is fairly basic, Jeep has equipped it with many standard features that make even the longest road trips easier and more comfortable. You’ll appreciate having the compass off-road, but there are also welcome touches such as illuminated front and rear beverage holders. Drivers will suffer far less fatigue on lengthy journeys thanks to a 6-way adjustable seat with manual lumbar support. The front passenger will enjoy manual 4-way directional control.

Performance

All 2024 Wranglers are 4-wheel drive and at their best when city streets are left behind, so they’ll easily go off-road whenever you please. The lowest trim level comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. The standard stop/start feature turns off the engine whenever you make a complete stop, then turns back on when it’s time to move on again. You can easily disable it if you don’t need it.

Technology

Jeep has ensured you have all the latest technology necessary to enjoy outdoor adventuring. An 8-speaker audio system provides AM/FM stereo and SiriusXM with 360L satellite radio. Steering wheel-mounted and voice-activated audio controls are standard, as well as speed-sensitive volume control. A big 12.3-inch touchscreen display is now standard on Jeep’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system across the entire 2024 Wrangler lineup. The user-friendly system includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

One of the most exciting features the 2024 Wrangler has to offer is found in the onboard navigation system, and you probably won’t find it in many other SUVs. There are more than 2,000 maps for trails in the system and even more are available for download. You’re almost certain to find some less crowded ones because full-sized SUVs are simply too large to fit many that Wranglers can navigate with no problem.
