Few vehicles have held onto their identity quite as stubbornly as the Jeep Wrangler. For 2027, it mostly remains the same, but Jeep adds new special editions to an already extensive lineup. Here's what you can expect.
Key Takeaways
- The 2027 Wrangler offers three engines.
- Four-door models can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while the Wrangler 392 raises maximum capacity to 5,000 pounds.
- Jeep adds the Sarge special model to the Wrangler lineup for 2027.
What Is Jeep Adding to the Wrangler Lineup for 2027?
Jeep's Twelve 4 Twelve campaign introduces a special model each month, and the Wrangler Sarge is among the first of the special trims announced for 2027. Based on the Willys and Rubicon models, the Sarge takes inspiration from the 1941 Willys MB with green accents, vintage-style badging, and unique decals.
Motor Trend reports that the new Smoky Mountain Edition heads in another direction, adding a distinctive mix of design and comfort upgrades to the four-door Willys. On the outside, it features 17-inch smoky-black wheels and graphics along with a gloss-black grille. Body-color fender flares and a matching hardtop give it a more coordinated appearance, while 35-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires are available.
Inside, Willys-embossed cloth seats feature Terracotta contrast stitching, with Blaze Orange accents and unique trim adding more color throughout the cabin. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a universal garage-door opener are also included.
Which Wrangler Powertrain Gives You the Power You Want?
Three powertrains provide different levels of performance:
- A 3.6-liter V6 (285 horsepower): It pairs with a six-speed manual transmission or optional eight-speed automatic.
- A turbocharged four-cylinder (270 horsepower): It pairs with an eight-speed automatic exclusively.
- A V8 (470 horsepower): It also pairs with an eight-speed automatic.
Part-time four-wheel drive is standard throughout most of the range. Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon models can be equipped with a full-time four-wheel-drive system; the 392 uses full-time four-wheel drive only.
What Is the Jeep Wrangler Towing Capacity?
The two-door Wrangler has a max towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, while the four-door increases to 3,500 pounds. The V8-powered Wrangler 392 offers the highest figure of the lineup at 5,000 pounds.
Which Wrangler Uses the Least Fuel?
The two-door Wrangler equipped with the turbocharged four-cylinder earns the best EPA estimates. It's rated at 20 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. At the opposite end of the range is the Wrangler 392. Its 470-horsepower V8 is rated at 13 mpg city, 16 mpg highway, and 14 mpg combined.
What Does Uconnect 5 Add to the Wrangler?
Jeep's Uconnect 5 infotainment system is on a 12.3-inch touchscreen and adds Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to allow drivers to connect without plugging in. Certain Wrangler models also offer built-in navigation with access to more than 3,000 mapped trails through a subscription.
