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), codenamed JL, is a rare breed in the UK market, offering genuine off-road capability with a rich heritage. Available in two or four-door body styles, it provides flexible practicality with up to 1,044 litres of cargo space with seats folded. Unique features like removable doors and a drop-flat windscreen allow for a highly customisable, open-air driving experience.

While on-road manners have improved with less wind noise and better interior comfort, its handling remains compromised compared to typical SUVs. Power comes from either a 2.2-litre turbodiesel or a thirstier 2.0-litre turbo petrol, both paired with an eight-speed automatic. Its true strength lies off-road, boasting superior ground clearance, approach angles, and wading depth, making it an undeniable force when the tarmac ends.

Best for: Off-road enthusiasts, those who value iconic styling and heritage, drivers who want a truly capable off-roader.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a budget, those prioritising on-road comfort and handling, drivers concerned about running costs or safety ratings.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Wrangler if: You're an off-road enthusiast, value iconic styling and heritage, or want a genuinely capable off-roader.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a budget, prioritise on-road comfort and handling, or are concerned about running costs or safety ratings.

Competitive Position: The Jeep Wrangler (2018-present) occupies a unique and increasingly rare segment as a hardcore off-road vehicle. Its unparalleled ability off the beaten path, iconic styling, and rich heritage set it apart from conventional SUVs. While it demands compromises in on-road driving dynamics, purchase price, and running costs compared to rivals, it offers a distinct and authentic off-road experience that few can match. It's a specialist vehicle for enthusiasts who prioritise extreme capability and a unique ownership proposition over everyday refinement.
