| Predecessor | Jeep Wrangler (JK) |
The Jeep Wrangler (JL) is the fourth generation of the Wrangler off-road vehicle. Unveiled at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 29, 2017, production of the vehicle began in November 2017. The JL became available to the public on January 2018.
The fourth-generation Wrangler 2-door and Wrangler 4-door (formerly Wrangler Unlimited) feature an exterior design that is reminiscent of the 1997-2006 Wrangler (TJ), with a "raked" front grille with seven vertical slots and round headlamps that integrate into the front grille. The designers have moved the traditional Jeep logo off the grille.
The JL is available in Sport, Sport S, Sahara, and Rubicon trim levels, with all being available in either two-door or four-door body styles, except for the Sahara, which is available on Wrangler 4-door only.
The Wrangler two-door is 2.5 inches longer overall than before, while the Wrangler four-door has grown by 3.5 inches. All Wrangler 2-door and Wrangler 4-door models are exclusively four-wheel drive.
The Wrangler has retained a body-on-frame construction. Options available on all JL models include an anti-spin rear differential (includes upgrade to Dana 44 M220 axle). The JL is designed to be more comfortable on-road.
The interior design was inspired by the 1954-1983 Jeep CJ-5 and 1987-1995 Wrangler (YJ) models. The power window controls remain in the center of the instrument panel, and the front woofers remain in the lower corners of the instrument panel. There is a new three-spoke, retro-inspired steering wheel, and a color instrument cluster display screen is available on upper-level trims. The majority of the interior switchgear in the JL is unique to the JL, except for some parts which are shared with other Chrysler products.
