The Wrangler is more than just a flagship model, it’s an American icon. Having long ruled the offroad, the Jeep Wrangler has kept itself modern over the years with a wide array of upgrades and refreshes that keep the American icon cruising on the road with its more modern contemporaries.
When shopping for SUVs, particularly ones that can offroad, you might find yourself at a crossroads between the latest and greatest 2025 model, and the outgoing 2024 Wrangler. But which one is the superior model? That’s exactly what we aim to find out, as we look at what’s new in the 2025 Jeep Wrangler lineup.
Key Takeaways:
- Power Windows and locks are now standard on all Wranglers.
- A new drab color, ‘41, joins the lineup.
- The Rubicon 392 V-8 model is dropped, leaving the Final Edition as the trim topper.
What is the Difference Between the Jeep Wrangler 2024 and 2025 Model?
A great question! In 2025, the Rubicon 392 V8 is no longer being offered, but as penance, we get a few new add-ons for this model year. Car and Driver reports that new features, such as Power locks and windows, are now standard. In addition to this, a new olive drab paint scheme, called the ‘41, joins the lineup for 2025. Little else changes, the two models are virtually identical in almost every other regard.
What are the 2025 Jeep Wrangler Colors?
There are eight shades available on the new Wrangler, according to Jeep.
- Black - This sleek, monotone shade, coated in glossy clear paint, offers a striking presence whether cruising the city streets or adventuring off the beaten path.
- Granite Crystal - A gorgeous shade of gray which offers versatility and depth for drivers who want their Wrangler to exude an air of refined elegance.
- Anvil - A unique finish, the Anvil trim is a lighter shade of the Granite color, but with hues that shift under sunlight - a real treat for the eyes and an undeniable statement maker.
- Hydro Blue - Hydro Blue uses a unique paint that refracts light for a stunning, multicolored effect. A vibrant shade of blue, its presence on your Wrangler can’t be understated.
- Fathom Blue - A different take on the blue shade, Fathom Blue is a vibrant, deep shade that gives a more subtle look to your Wrangler. A perfect choice for those who want a lovely Jeep that doesn’t demand attention, it effortlessly attracts it.
- '41 - a lovely homage to the Jeeps of old, '41 is a shade that draws back to the classic image of a military grade Jeep clad in a pristine orange drab, making it a perfect scheme for those wanting to relive the glory days.
- Firecracker Red - A bold, striking red, Jeep’s Firecracker Red is a shade that’s sure to turn heads anywhere your jeep goes.
- Bright White - White is a color the Wrangler wears well, and Jeeps’ particular shade is one to envy. Timeless, pristine, and easy to clean, what isn’t there to love?
Whether you prefer subtle sophistication or bold brilliance, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler color options deliver a palette of shades to suit every driver’s personality. Which color will you choose to make your Wrangler truly yours?
How many miles per gallon does a 2024 Jeep Wrangler get?
That’s a great question. The EPA reports that the 2024 Wrangler has an anticipated mileage of Around 20 combined MPG for the 6 cylinder, 21 combined MPH for the 4 cylinders, and 14 MPG for the v8. AWD knocks off around 1 MPG, and the manual transmission will knock off another mile.
So is the 2025 or 2024 Jeep Wrangler Better?
Both years of the Wrangler are quite enticing, but it's the newer SUV that gives buyers a reason to maintain interest. That being said, the 2024 model is no slouch, and with enough discounts can certainly match and even exceed the 2025 offerings.
