Jeep Wrangler (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Hardcore off-road ability	Expensive to buy and run
Tough styling backed by decades of heritage	Poor to drive on the road
Modern infotainment system	Very disappointing safety rating

Quick Summary

The Jeep Wrangler (2018-present) is a uniquely capable off-roader that stands apart in an increasingly electrified market. This generation introduced significant refinements, including a modern touchscreen infotainment system, soft-touch interior materials, and improved on-road manners compared to its predecessors. Available in two-door and four-door configurations, it offers genuine versatility with removable doors, a foldable windscreen, and various roof options including a motorised canvas roof. With a 2.2-litre turbodiesel producing 197bhp or a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, both paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, the Wrangler delivers impressive ground clearance, short overhangs, and a 760mm wading depth for serious off-road adventures.

However, the Wrangler's appeal is strictly limited to dedicated off-road enthusiasts. On-road handling remains poor, with vague steering, excessive body roll, and uncomfortable motorway manners. Fuel economy is disappointing at around 30mpg for the diesel and 26-27mpg for the petrol, whilst insurance groups range from 33 to 41. New prices exceed £48,000, and used examples command around £30,000 or more, making it difficult to justify for everyday driving. The 2018 refresh brought welcome improvements, but it remains an expensive proposition that prioritises off-road capability over road-going practicality.

Best for: Off-road enthusiasts with deep pockets who value iconic styling and genuine terrain-conquering ability above all else.

Not ideal for: Daily drivers seeking comfort and efficiency, budget-conscious buyers, or those prioritising on-road handling and fuel economy.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Wrangler if: You are a dedicated off-road enthusiast with substantial budget, value iconic styling and heritage, and prioritise terrain-conquering ability above all else.

Consider alternatives if: You seek a practical daily driver, require good fuel economy and low running costs, or prioritise on-road comfort and handling over off-road capability.

Competitive Position: The Jeep Wrangler (2018-present) occupies a niche position in the SUV market, excelling in hardcore off-road ability but struggling in everyday practicality. Whilst rivals like the Toyota Land Cruiser offer better all-round capability and the Kia Sorento and Skoda Kodiaq provide superior comfort and value, the Wrangler's unique styling, removable doors, and genuine off-road pedigree create an ownership experience unlike any other. However, its poor on-road manners, disappointing fuel economy, high running costs, and weak safety rating make it difficult to recommend to anyone but the most committed off-road enthusiast with deep pockets.
