2026 Jeep® Gladiator Sahara Opens For Orders In Canada
A More Refined Gladiator Arrives North Of The Border
Canadian Jeep® buyers now have a new way to enjoy open-air truck capability with added comfort, as ordering has officially opened for the 2026 Jeep Gladiator Sahara. Marking the first time the Gladiator has ever worn the Sahara nameplate, this new trim brings a familiar Jeep badge with a long history into the midsize pickup lineup—this time with a clear focus on everyday comfort, style, and value.
The Sahara name dates back to 1988, when it was first introduced as a more upscale take on Jeep’s rugged formula. That same idea carries over to the Gladiator, offering Canadian buyers a trim that sits above the Sport S while stopping short of the hardcore Rubicon. The result is a truck that still looks and feels like a Jeep, but with features that make daily driving, commuting, and long highway trips more enjoyable.
From the outside, the Gladiator Sahara stands out with a cleaner, more polished appearance. Body-color fender flares replace the Black plastic pieces found on lower trims, and the body-color three-piece hardtop gives the truck a more unified look. Standard LED headlamps and fog lamps not only modernize the Gladiator’s face but also improve visibility in poor weather—an important consideration for Canadian driving conditions.
The Sahara rides on 18-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season tires, making it equally at home on city streets or gravel roads. Jeep will also offer an upgrade to all-terrain tires at no additional cost, though availability will come later. That flexibility allows buyers to tailor the truck more toward daily use or light off-road duty without stepping up to a more aggressive trim.
Inside, the Gladiator Sahara delivers the biggest personality change. Premium McKinley leather-trimmed seats elevate the cabin, while heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard—features that feel essential rather than optional in colder climates. A 7-inch digital driver display sits ahead of the steering wheel. At the same time, the center of the dash is dominated by Jeep’s 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, offering clear graphics, fast response times, and easy access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings.
Convenience and safety tech are also part of the standard package. Remote start and remote keyless entry are included, along with modern driver-assist features designed to add confidence in everyday driving. The overall effect is a Gladiator that feels more premium without losing its straightforward, functional layout.
In Canada, the 2026 Jeep Gladiator Sahara is available to order now, starting at $59,600, which reflects a $57,305 MSRP plus additional fees. That pricing positions the Sahara as a strong value play, delivering a long list of comfort and technology upgrades without the higher cost associated with more off-road-focused trims.
For Canadian buyers who want a Gladiator that can handle winter weather, weekend adventures, and daily life with equal ease, the Sahara trim hits a well-balanced middle ground. It’s a familiar Jeep name applied in a new way—one that makes a lot of sense for how many people actually use their trucks today.
