JL Wrangler mid-cycle refresh?

[WXman]

5 model years are in the books now for the JL Wrangler. Typically the Wrangler is sold on a 10 year cycle before a new model comes. So... where's the mid-cycle refresh??

Could This Be The New Face Of The 2024 Jeep® Wrangler?

For more than a decade, the Jeep® brand has been showcasing conceptual vehicles during the Moab Easter Jeep Safari in Utah. In recent years, the Jeep team has brought a handful of concept vehicles to each of the events to showcase new products, test public feedback on new ideas, and even hint at...

Gosh how did I miss that?

What I'm really interested in pertains to the console area. Last year, a Jeep Cares representative was polling members of the JL Forum about what they'd like to see different in the center console area. I took that to mean that the mid-cycle refresh would include a new layout.

I believe the console area is the #1 issue with the JL interior, but honestly with the tiny amount of space afforded by the JL cabin I'm not sure what else they could really do with it.

Will the refresh JL introduce the Hurricane engine in place of the 392? will we see the higher output GME-T4 replacing the Pentastar?

Great question. I am wondering the same for 2023 Grand Cherokee as well.

T4 is already offered, PHEV is the best selling Hybrid in NA….

Is the question if the PentaStar will be dropped

I was thinking of the mild hybrid version of the T4 offered in the Maserati. Or is that exclusive to Maserati?

Allegedly the 2023 ordering opens June 15. That's a little over 3 weeks away. I'm surprised the order guide hasn't hit the internet yet. Usually sleuths will post it up early.

Well I was pleased with the mid-cycle refresh. New face, new infotainment, standard adaptive cruise, some tweaks to the interior, etc. It was good.

Having said that, a lot of folks didn't feel they went far enough. Maybe they're just spending their resourced on the next gen Wrangler? I hear rumors it's coded J70, destined for 2028 which is coming fast. Can't wait to see what they do with Wrangler next. I think it'll either be amazing OR it'll make guys run and buy a JL fast.
