Jeep has unveiled updates for the 2025 Wrangler. It has added new features, made adjustments, and dropped a popular engine option. Here’s a closer look at the upcoming model.
3.6-Liter V6 Now Only Available with Manual Transmission
The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine now comes only with a six-speed manual transmission. Previously, it had an option for an eight-speed automatic, costing an extra $4,500. Meanwhile, Mopar offered this automatic for $3,611.20. Jeep hasn’t explained the removal of the automatic option for the V6, but it still promotes “freedom of choice” in its powertrains.
For those wanting an automatic, options include the plug-in hybrid, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, or the 6.4-liter HEMI V8.
Power Windows and Locks Now Standard
The 2025 Wrangler now includes power windows and locks in all trims. Previously, these features were only in Sport S trims and higher. Now, even the base models get them. This change ends the era of crank windows, a staple of the Wrangler’s rugged charm.
New Olive Drab-Inspired Paint Color
The 2025 Wrangler now offers a new paint called ’41. It’s inspired by olive drab military colors. This adds more options for customers to personalize their vehicles with unique, heritage-inspired colors.
Active Cabin Ventilation System
Jeep has introduced an Active Cabin Ventilation system for the 2025 Wrangler. Now, users can pre-cool the cabin via a mobile app, improving comfort in hot conditions.
Price Adjustments Across Trims
With the added features and adjustments, pricing has been revised for the 2025 Wrangler. The base price of the entry-level Wrangler Sport has increased from $31,995 to $32,690. The two-door Sport S sees a $100 price increase, while the four-door variant drops by $395. Other models, such as the Willys, face modest price hikes of $100 to $200, while the Sahara trim sees a $400 price reduction. However, not all trim levels have been listed, and final prices may still vary.
Conclusion
The 2025 Jeep Wrangler adds power windows, locks, and a new color. However, it drops the automatic transmission for the V6 engine, which may upset some fans. Still, with various powertrains and new features, it remains a versatile, iconic off-roader.
