Jeep Wrangler (JL)

Jeep does not build many cars like the Jeep Wrangler (JL): a 2-door convertible SUV with removable roof and doors / 4-door convertible SUV with removable roof and doors with Petrol engine, built from 2017 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.

Where it came from

The Jeep Wrangler (JL) is the fourth generation of the Wrangler off-road vehicle, available in two- and four-door body styles. Unveiled at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 29, 2017, production of the vehicle began in November 2017.

Under the skin

Under the skin sits Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 3948 -. The gearbox is a 6-speed Aisin List of Aisin transmissions / AL6 manual transmission / manual / 8-speed Torqueflite 8 / Torqueflite 850RE automatic transmission / automatic / 8-speed ZF Friedrichsh. The wheelbase is 96.8 in (2-door) / 118.4 in (4-door). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

Where it sits in Jeep's history is not in doubt: the Jeep Wrangler (JK) came before it; it was built at Toledo, Ohio. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Tesla Model 3, the Chevrolet Bolt, the Chevrolet Camaro. Nearby in the Jeep catalogue sit the Jeep Wrangler (JK) and the Jeep Wrangler (TJ).

The money

On the used market today a Jeep Wrangler (JL) typically changes hands for $10,600–$34,000, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $4,733–$11,295 a year. Insurance sits around $1,120–$2,120 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
