Making Light of the Lotus Elite2025 Jeep Wrangler Review
Check out our comprehensive review of the 2025 Jeep Wrangler for details on the cabin, technology, amenities, and safety of this SUV.What’s New for the 2025 Jeep Wrangler?
Though changes are few on the 2025 Jeep Wrangler versus last year’s model, the standardization of power door locks and windows is kind of a big deal. It also may sadden those of us who enjoy the irritating nostalgia of reaching across the front passenger seat to roll the window down. There is also a new military olive drab-inspired shade of paint dubbed ’41 and the ability to pre-ventilate the cabin via mobile app. Otherwise, the iconic Wrangler soldiers on with stick axles, removable doors, and all the open-air, hard-riding fun you can handle.

2025 Jeep Wrangler Powertrain 8.75/10
Across the board, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler comes with 4WD, though there are several systems that become increasingly sophisticated as you move through the various trim lines. Base Wranglers come with a 3.6L V6 rated for 285 hp and 260 lb-ft that pairs with a 6-speed manual. A 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 with 270 hp and 285 lb-ft of torque that comes with an 8-speed automatic is a $2,500 option on entry-level models and standard on the Sahara. Jeep makes a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of this powertrain by adding a pair of electric motors and battery pack. Dubbed “4xe”, it can be fitted to the Sport S models and above for approximately $10,000 depending on model.
Finally, there is the mighty 6.4L HEMI V8 with its matching horsepower and torque figures of 470. Only available with the six-figure Rubicon 392 Wrangler, it is as thirsty as it is expensive with a 14-mpg combined fuel economy rating. The boosted four is rated for 21 mpg combined, the Pentastar V6 comes in at 19 mpg combined, and the PHEV offers 49 MPGe combined plus a 21-mile all-electric driving range.
Towing figures for the 2025 Jeep Wrangler range from 2,000 to 5,000 pounds depending on trim line and configuration, of which there are many. Trailer sway-control comes standard.
2025 Jeep Wrangler Interior 7.75/10
Two doors with a removable soft-top is the base 2025 Wrangler setup and the most iconic. Four doors can be had on any model for an extra $4,600 or standard with the Sahara. An optional hardtop should help with cabin noise somewhat, but the Wrangler isn’t exactly known for its quiet, comfy ride.
With solid axles at both ends, this SUV is made for off-roading, not luxury. For 2025, every Wrangler comes with power-operated windows, which seems outrageous to say out loud, but as they say, it’s a Jeep thing. In four-door setup, there are seats for 5 – two doors technically seat 4 – with 38” of rear legroom.
Upper-level Wranglers offer heated Nappa leather thrones, but most models make do with fabric ranging from regular old cloth to premium cloth. Keep in mind, the carpet can be removed, drain plugs can be opened, and the cabin can be washed out. Fold down the back seat to open up 72 cubic feet of storage, a figure that drops to 32 with the seat raised.
2025 Jeep Wrangler Technology Features 7.75/10
A central 12.3” infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard 2025 Wrangler content. As is an 8-speaker audio system. Sahara models add a 7” TFT display to the gauge cluster along with a 115-volt outlet and a pair of rear-facing USB ports.
On the safety front, the 2025 Wrangler is just okay. Though it now has 6 airbags, the side curtain units only became standard in 2024. The NHTSA has not provided an overall safety rating for this Wrangler generation, though it does score it just 3/5 stars for rollover safety. As for advanced safety nets, forward collision mitigation is standard on Sport S models and above.
2025 Jeep Wrangler Trims & Pricing

Sport S – $35,695
Sport S trim gains alloy wheels, heated and power-adjustable side mirrors, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. There are several optional packages including the Active Safety Group that brings blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and reverse parking sensors.
Willys – $40,190
The Wrangler Willys is a strong off-roader with Jeep’s Command-Trac 4WD system, 33” all-terrain rubber, and a rear locking diff. The hood decals just add cool factor.
Rubicon – $47,550
Rubicon trim adds even more off-road gear including the Rock-Trac 4WD setup, a front locker, front sway bar disconnect, rock rails, and a 100:1 crawl ratio.

Adding a bit of ritz to the Rubicon model, these X variants feature content from the Safety, Technology, and Convenience packages as well as power-adjustable front seats, and Nappa leather upholstery.
High Altitude – $68,390
Sold in 4xe trim only, the High Altitude Wrangler is the most luxurious trim line. It boasts 20” wheels, an Alpine audio system, all the Rubicon X amenities, and adaptive cruise control.
Rubicon 392 – $101,890
For those who want it all, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is it. These range toppers are loaded with virtually all available Wrangler content plus beadlock-capable rims, high-performance brakes, Fox shocks, commemorative plaques, and oh yeah, the HEMI.
2025 Jeep Wrangler Overall Value 7.5/10
Though the Wrangler in Sahara trim is nicely equipped, its nearly $50,000 price tag seems excessive for a vehicle that is really designed to be rough and tumble. Which is why it’s worth sticking with the basic Sport model. It comes with a stick, it can go virtually anywhere, and it’ll only set you back about $33,000.
The Ford Bronco, really the Wrangler’s only true competition, has a starting price some $8,000 higher making the Jeep quite a value. Plus, even though it has an industry-average 3-year basic and 5-year powertrain warranty, the 2025 Wrangler comes with two complimentary service visits.

It’s truly remarkable that the 2025 Jeep Wrangler continues to exist in the face of ultra-modern vehicles loaded with cutting-edge technology. Power windows are only just now standard equipment! Incredible. Which is why the Wrangler is such an amazing vehicle. It’s unlike most anything else on the road. The Bronco can hang with it, but is quite a bit more expensive.
Outside of that, you’re looking at seriously expensive hardware from Mercedes and Land Rover. Truly, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler lacks nothing in the context of its intended use as an unstoppable 4×4. The 4xe is neat but ridiculously expensive and the HEMI? Just ridiculous…in the most awesome way possible. Here’s to hoping Jeep never stops building the Wrangler.
