LEGO® Technic Brings New Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon Fun To Kids

Jeep® fans and young builders are about to get a brand-new way to enjoy one of America’s most iconic off-roaders — right at home. Hitting shelves on March 1st, 2026, the upcoming LEGO® Technic Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon (42227) lets kids ages 10 and up assemble their very own trail-ready SUV, inspired by the instantly recognizable Bikini-colored Wrangler (JL) that turned heads when it first joined Jeep’s lineup.

This detailed 723-piece set is packed with authentic Wrangler spirit. From its bold stance to its suspension, LEGO wanted to make sure young off-road enthusiasts could experience the Wrangler’s mechanical personality. The model features functional steering that uses the rear-mounted spare tire, allowing kids to twist and navigate the Jeep over obstacles — just like the real thing. Under the hood, there’s even a brick-built V6 engine, giving kids a peek into how power reaches the wheels.

The set smartly blends rugged design with some fun Jeep culture references. Builders will find a small rubber duck, paying tribute to the popular “Duck, Duck, Jeep®” fan tradition where Jeep owners surprise each other with cheerful rubber ducks left on door handles or dashboards. LEGO also included a removable surfboard so kids can imagine rolling straight from the trail to the beach — keeping that laid-back Wrangler vibe alive.

Lift the hood, and a support rod holds it open, just like the real deal. The Wrangler’s boxy shape and iconic proportions are immediately recognizable in Technic form, and the bright blue-green color pulls straight from Jeep’s memorable palette, evoking the eye-catching Bikini Pearl finish.

To help builders of all skill levels feel confident throughout the process, the set works with the LEGO Builder app, offering step-by-step digital instructions with full 3D zoom and rotation tools. Kids can track progress, save the build, and easily pick up where they left off — especially handy for more technical sets like this one.

Once completed, the model measures over 6 inches tall, 10 inches long, and 5.5 inches wide — perfect for displaying on a shelf or taking on imaginative off-road missions across the living room. And because it’s part of the LEGO Technic lineup, it’s also a great early introduction to engineering concepts, showing how steering and suspension systems actually work.

Priced at $64.99 USD, the Wrangler Rubicon Technic set is shaping up to be a strong value for parents looking to inspire real-world learning through hands-on fun. Jeep lovers — young and young-at-heart — will likely want to add this one to their collection as soon as it lands.

March is just around the corner, so get ready to build something equal parts adventurous and iconic. The open road starts on the dining room table.
