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 the fourth generation of this iconic off-roader and the first major update in decades. Available with a 2.2-litre turbodiesel or 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, it comes in two-door or four-door configurations. The four-door offers superior practicality with 1,044 litres of boot space when rear seats are folded. Distinctive features include removable doors, a drop-flat windscreen, and various roof options from soft-top to motorised canvas, allowing transformation from SUV to open-air vehicle with minimal effort.

The 2018 refresh brought significant improvements including soft-touch interior materials, standard air-conditioning, and modern touchscreen infotainment systems. The 2.2-litre diesel produces 197bhp and achieves 29.4-30.7mpg, whilst the 268bhp petrol is punchier but less frugal. On-road manners have improved, though handling remains vague with considerable body roll. Off-road, the Wrangler excels with impressive ground clearance, short overhangs, and 760mm wading depth. However, running costs are high with insurance groups ranging from 33 to 41, and CO2 emissions between 195-209g/km for diesel variants.

Best for: Off-road enthusiasts with substantial budgets, those seeking iconic styling and heritage, and drivers wanting a convertible-style experience with doors and roof removed.

Not ideal for: Daily commuters prioritising comfort and economy, buyers seeking good value for money, or those wanting a practical family SUV with reasonable running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Wrangler if: You're an off-road enthusiast with a substantial budget, seeking iconic styling and heritage, or wanting a unique convertible-style driving experience with removable doors and roof.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise on-road comfort and handling, seek good value for money, need a practical family SUV with reasonable running costs, or require a strong safety rating.

Competitive Position: The Jeep Wrangler (2018-present) occupies a niche position in the SUV market. Whilst it excels off-road with unmatched capability and iconic styling, it struggles on-road with vague handling and poor fuel economy. At around £30,000 used, it's significantly more expensive than practical alternatives like the Kia Sorento or Skoda Kodiaq, which offer superior on-road manners, better value, and higher user satisfaction. The Toyota Land Cruiser provides a more balanced all-rounder experience. The Wrangler remains a specialist proposition for those prioritising off-road adventure and heritage over everyday practicality and economy.
