In a market flooded with SUV options, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler (JL) has emerged victorious, snagging the prestigious title of “Best SUV of 2024” by Cars.com. This accolade isn’t just a pat on the back; it’s a testament to the Wrangler’s unmatched combination of capability, versatility, and value, making it the top choice for adventure-seekers and everyday drivers alike.

Jenni Newman, Editor-In-Chief at Cars.com, had high praise for the Wrangler, stating, “The 2024 Wrangler is versatile, capable, and a deserving winner of our Best SUV of 2024 award.” And it’s not just the standard Wrangler that’s turning heads; the Wrangler 4xe, a plug-in hybrid variant, is also making waves with its enhanced capability and comfort.

What sets the 2024 Wrangler apart? For starters, Jeep has upped the ante on capability, introducing features like a full-float Dana rear axle, a 100:1 crawl ratio, an 8,000-pound-capacity Warn winch, and increased towing capabilities straight from the factory. These upgrades ensure that the Wrangler can tackle the toughest terrain with ease.

But it’s not all about off-road prowess. Inside, drivers will find a haven of comfort and safety features. The new interior boasts available 12-way power-adjustable front seats, a standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen radio, and standard side curtain airbags in the first and second rows, prioritizing both comfort and peace of mind.

Bill Peffer, Senior Vice President and Head of Jeep® North America emphasized the Wrangler’s status as an icon of adventure, stating, “The Jeep Wrangler is the ultimate adventure vehicle and the icon of the brand.” With over 5 million Wranglers sold worldwide, it’s clear that Jeep has struck a chord with consumers who crave adventure and capability.

One of the most enticing aspects of the 2024 Wrangler is its diverse range of powertrain options. From the fuel-efficient Wrangler 4xe PHEV, boasting an impressive 49 MPGe, to the powerhouse 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) HEMI® V8 Rubicon 392 with a staggering 470 horsepower, there’s a powertrain to suit every lifestyle and driving preference.
