Explaining Jeep Wrangler Trim Levels for 2024

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler offers eight distinct trim levels. Each trim builds upon the previous one, adding features and capabilities. Here's a comparison of the Jeep Wrangler models.

Sport — The Entry-Level Option

The Sport trim is the most affordable. Don't let its entry-level status fool you — it's still a highly capable off-roader. It's equipped with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine producing 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The Sport trim features 17-inch steel wheels, a premium soft top, and the Command-Trac four-wheel-drive system that provides traction on and off the road in all weather conditions.  

Its interior includes a 12.3-inch Uconnect touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an eight-speaker audio system, and a rearview camera. Safety features include traction control, stability control, and multiple airbags, making it a good choice for both city driving and off-road adventures.

Sport S — Enhanced Comfort and Capability

The Sport S trim brings a range of enhanced comfort and convenience features. It maintains the rugged essence of the Sport, but upgrades make daily driving more enjoyable. It features 17-inch aluminum wheels, a Corning Gorilla Glass windshield, heated mirrors, keyless entry, and a premium-wrapped steering wheel. Full-speed forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control with stop and go reinforce overall safety. 

The Sport S trim also retains the robust 3.6-liter V-6 engine, paired with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. This trim offers a balanced mix of rugged capability and modern amenities, making it a versatile choice for off-road enthusiasts. 

Willys — Off-Road-Focused Heritage Trim

The Willys trim pays homage to the Wrangler's military roots while offering enhanced off-road capabilities. It has 17-inch black aluminum wheels and 33-inch all-terrain tires for better traction and stability. You'll also find solid front and rear axles with shorter gearing, rock rails to protect the underbody, and an electronic locking rear differential to take your off-roading to the next level. 

The Willys trim also boasts LED headlights for better visibility, distinctive Willys hood decals, and a black grille for a rugged look. It's powered by the same 3.6-liter V-6 engine as other trims, ensuring robust performance on and off the road. 

Sahara — Premium Features and Comfort for Daily Driving

The Sahara trim focuses on providing a more refined on-road experience without compromising the Wrangler's off-road capabilities. It's the most street-oriented trim, featuring 18-inch wheels, body-color fender flares, and LED lamps for enhanced visibility.

The interior of the Sahara trim includes a 7-inch driver information digital cluster display, leather upholstery, and heated front seats and steering wheel for added comfort. The standard powertrain is a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine producing 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. 

Additional features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and an Alpine premium audio system, making it a well-rounded choice for urban and off-road adventures.

Rubicon — Ultimate Off-Road Capabilities

The Rubicon trim is where the Wrangler's off-road prowess truly shines. Named after the famous Rubicon Trail, this trim can conquer the most challenging terrains. It has many off-road features that set it apart from lower trims, including the Rock-Trac four-wheel-drive system with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, electronic front sway-bar disconnect, and heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles. 

The Rubicon has 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 33-inch all-terrain tires and offers the Xtreme 35 Package with 35-inch tires and beadlock-capable wheels for even greater off-road capability. The trim also includes steel rock rails, Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials, and an integrated off-road camera. 

Rubicon X — Extreme Off-Roading With Luxury Touches

The Rubicon X takes the already impressive Rubicon and adds a layer of luxury and additional capability for those who want the ultimate off-road machine with premium touches for everyday comfort. It includes the Rock-Trac full-time transfer case, steel bumpers, and an integrated off-road camera for enhanced trail capability. The Xtreme 35 Package is standard, featuring 35-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires and beadlock-capable wheels. 

Inside, the Rubicon X offers 12-way power-adjustable nappa leather seats, a 12.3-inch Uconnect touch screen with navigation, and a nine-speaker Alpine premium audio system. Additional amenities include heated seats and steering wheel, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-path detection. 

Rubicon 392 — High Performance Meets Rugged Terrain

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is a high-performance off-road model. This trim boasts a formidable 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine that delivers 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It includes heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, electronic front and rear locking differentials, and an electronic sway bar disconnect for superior off-road capability. 

The Rubicon 392 also features the Rock-Trac four-wheel-drive system with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio, 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels with 35-inch all-terrain tires, and steel bumpers. The vehicle's interior features Nappa leather seating, a 12.3-inch Uconnect touch screen, and a nine-speaker Alpine audio system for a blend of luxury and ruggedness. 

Rubicon 392 Final Edition — Ultimate Off-Road Beast

The 2024 Jeep Rubicon 392 Final Edition builds on the Rubicon 392 and adds premium leather-trimmed seats with embroidered "392" logos, a distinctive hood with a functional air scoop, and a high-performance exhaust system that enhances both sound and power.

Detailed Comparison: Sahara vs. Rubicon Trims
