Jeep Wrangler (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Hardcore off-road ability	Expensive to buy and run
Tough styling backed by decades of heritage	Poor to drive on the road
Modern infotainment system	Very disappointing safety rating

Quick Summary

The Jeep Wrangler (2018-present), codenamed JL, is a rare breed of properly tough off-roader that continues the model's long-standing heritage. Available in two-door or four-door body styles, the latter offers a practical 533 litres of boot space (1,044 litres with seats folded). Unique features include various roof options and removable doors and windscreen, allowing for a distinctive open-air driving experience. Power comes from a 2.2-litre turbodiesel or a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, both paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

While on-road manners have improved over previous generations with reduced wind and tyre noise, handling remains a weak point due to vague steering and body roll. However, the Wrangler truly excels off-road, featuring standard four-wheel-drive, a low-range gearbox, ample ground clearance, and impressive wading depth. The interior has been significantly upgraded with soft-touch materials, standard air conditioning, and a modern touchscreen infotainment system. Running costs are high, with the diesel averaging around 30mpg and insurance groups ranging from 33 to 41.

Best for: Off-road enthusiasts, those who appreciate iconic styling and heritage, and buyers who desire a unique open-air driving experience with removable doors and roof.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising on-road handling and comfort, those concerned with high running costs (fuel and insurance), or buyers who require a strong Euro NCAP safety rating.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Wrangler if: You're an off-road enthusiast, appreciate its iconic styling and heritage, or desire a unique open-air driving experience with removable doors and roof.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise on-road handling and comfort, are concerned with high running costs, or require a strong Euro NCAP safety rating.

Competitive Position: The Jeep Wrangler (2018-present) stands out as a highly capable, purpose-built off-roader with unparalleled heritage and distinctive styling. While its on-road manners and running costs are significant drawbacks compared to many modern SUVs, its extreme off-road prowess and unique customisation options offer a driving and ownership experience unlike any other. It caters specifically to a niche market of enthusiasts who prioritise adventure and rugged capability over everyday practicality and refinement.
