Whether you\u2019re conquering rocky trails or cruising through city streets, the Wrangler stands tall, unyielding, and ready for action. Let\u2019s dive into the details and explore what makes this iconic SUV tick.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:44\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:9\">Pros<\/h4>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"9:1-13:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:217\"><strong>Legendary Off-Road Capability:<\/strong>\u00a0This is a Jeep, after all. With best-in-class approach, breakover, and departure angles, a robust 4&#215;4 system, and solid build quality, the Wrangler thrives where the pavement ends.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"10:1-10:184\"><strong>Improved Technology:<\/strong>\u00a0The 2024 model boasts a sleek 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keeping you connected and entertained on any adventure.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:195\"><strong>More Safety Features:<\/strong>\u00a0Side curtain airbags are a welcome addition, and available driver-assist features like forward-collision warning and blind-spot monitoring provide extra peace of mind.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"12:1-13:0\"><strong>Open-Air Options:<\/strong>\u00a0Removable roof and doors are a Wrangler signature, perfect for soaking up the Aussie sunshine (or dodging a surprise downpour with the removable soft top).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"14:1-14:9\">Cons<\/h4>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"16:1-19:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"16:1-16:151\"><strong>Fuel Efficiency:<\/strong>\u00a0Let&#8217;s be honest, Wranglers aren&#8217;t known for sipping fuel. The 3.6L V6 engine delivers power, but it comes at a cost at the pump.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:143\"><strong>On-Road Handling:<\/strong>\u00a0While it&#8217;s improved, the Wrangler&#8217;s off-road prowess translates to a slightly less comfortable ride on smooth surfaces.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"18:1-19:0\"><strong>Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Wranglers aren&#8217;t cheap. The base price starts around AU$76,000, and with options, it can climb quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:25\">How Much Does It Cost?<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:44\"><strong>The 2024 Wrangler<\/strong> comes in four trim levels:<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"24:1-28:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:96\">Sport S (starting at AU$75,950): This entry-level trim offers the essentials for off-road fun.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:89\">Willys (price TBA): Expected to be a mid-range option with a focus on heritage styling.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:118\">Overland (price TBA): Leans towards comfort and capability with features like leather seats and upgraded suspension.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"27:1-28:0\">Rubicon (starting at AU$88,450): The ultimate off-roader, with locking differentials, a winch-ready bumper, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"29:1-29:56\">Features and Benefits: More Than Just a Pretty Grille<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"31:1-31:94\"><strong>The 2024 Wrangler<\/strong> goes beyond off-road prowess. Here are some key features and their benefits:<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"33:1-37:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"33:1-33:93\"><strong>New Infotainment System:<\/strong>\u00a0The large touchscreen is easy to use and keeps you connected.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"34:1-34:88\"><strong>Heated Seats and Steering Wheel:<\/strong>\u00a0Enjoy a comfortable ride even in chilly mornings.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"35:1-35:119\"><strong>Multiple Roof Options:<\/strong>\u00a0Choose from a hardtop, soft top, or even a power convertible top for ultimate versatility.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"36:1-37:0\"><strong>Customizable Interior:<\/strong>\u00a0With different seat configurations and trim options, personalize your Wrangler to match your style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"38:1-38:54\">Safety First: Conquering the Trails with Confidence<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"40:1-40:42\"><strong>The 2024 Wrangler<\/strong> prioritizes safety with:<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"42:1-45:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"42:1-42:99\"><strong>Standard airbags:<\/strong>\u00a0Including the new side curtain airbags for improved side-impact protection.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"43:1-43:103\"><strong>Available Driver-Assistance Features:<\/strong>\u00a0These can help you avoid collisions and stay in your lane.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"44:1-45:0\"><strong>Durable Construction:<\/strong>\u00a0The Wrangler&#8217;s solid build provides a strong foundation for safety on and off the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>An Off-Road Legend<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Review | Final fling in V6-powered version of iconic \u2018shortie\u2019 off-roader\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aXRUGYpYyqk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"46:1-46:42\">Running Costs: Fuel Efficiency and More<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"48:1-48:100\">While the <strong>Wrangler<\/strong> might not win any fuel-efficiency awards, there are ways to manage running costs:<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"50:1-53:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"50:1-50:121\"><strong>Consider your driving habits:<\/strong>\u00a0If you mostly do highway driving, a Wrangler might not be the most economical choice.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"51:1-51:105\"><strong>Look after your Jeep:<\/strong>\u00a0Regular maintenance will help ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"52:1-53:0\"><strong>Think long-term:<\/strong>\u00a0Wranglers hold their value well, so you might recoup some costs when it&#8217;s time to sell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"54:1-54:48\">Facing the Competition: Wrangler vs. the Pack<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"56:1-56:105\"><strong>The Wrangler<\/strong>&#8216;s main competitors are the Ford Bronco and the Toyota LandCruiser.

It&#8217;s thirsty, a bit rough around the edges on the road, and comes with a hefty price tag. But for those who crave off-road adventure, open-air freedom, and a vehicle that embodies\u00a0a sense of heritage and adventure. It&#8217;s a capable machine that lets you explore further and experience the outdoors in a way that few vehicles can.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"65:1-65:222\">Rating: 8.5\/10<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"65:1-65:222\"><strong>The 2024 Jeep Wrangler<\/strong> scores a high mark of 8.5 out of 10.
