Since its inception, the Jeep Wrangler has been an icon of off-road prowess and rugged adventure. Jeep enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the latest innovations and design changes with each new iteration. The spotlight has rightfully shone on the redesigned 2024 Jeep Wrangler (JL), featuring an updated front fascia that gives it a fresh and bold look. However, amidst the new design’s fervor, one model has been quietly flying under the radar: the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sport.

As the entry-level variant of the Wrangler lineup, the Sport model retains its classic appearance, reminiscent of the 2018 to 2023 models. While it may not boast the new grille design, it carries a distinct charm that appeals to those who appreciate a touch of nostalgia. But make no mistake—Jeep has not overlooked the Wrangler Sport for the 2024 model year. In fact, it has received a thoughtful array of enhancements that make it a compelling choice for adventure seekers.

Under the hood, the 2024 Wrangler Sport continues to be powered by the robust 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, delivering a commanding 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. For those seeking an alternative powertrain, Jeep offers the option of a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine, generating 270 horsepower and an impressive 295 lb.-ft. of torque. This variety ensures that drivers can choose the powerplant that best suits their driving style and preferences.

Transmission choices have also been tailored to offer versatility. While the standard 6-speed manual transmission provides a direct and engaging driving experience, an available 8-speed automatic transmission enhances convenience, especially during demanding off-road escapades.

The Wrangler Sport remains true to its rugged heritage with its robust Dana solid front and rear axles, ensuring optimal durability and performance on challenging terrains. The Command-Trac 2.72:1 part-time transfer case provides the necessary traction for confidently conquering trails and rocky paths.

Emphasizing both style and functionality, the Wrangler Sport rolls on 17-inch steel wheels paired with 32-inch tires, striking a balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability. Traction control further enhances stability and control, even in the most demanding driving conditions.

One noteworthy addition is the stealth antenna integrated into the windshield, minimizing visual clutter while maintaining reliable connectivity. Inside the cabin, the 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen radio takes center stage, offering seamless access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle information.

Safety remains a priority, as evidenced by the inclusion of side curtain airbags for both the first and second rows, ensuring a secure environment for all occupants. The ParkView rear backup camera adds an extra layer of convenience, simplifying parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.

Jeep understands that individuality is key, allowing drivers to tailor their Wrangler Sport to their preferences. The Premium soft-top adds an element of luxury to open-air adventures, while the Gray Soul fabric IP mid bolster adds a touch of refinement to the interior.

Presently available at Landers Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, and Ram in Southaven, Mississippi, this Unlimited Sport 4×4 offers a budget-friendly option for those looking to get behind the wheel of the 2024 Wrangler. With an appealing Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $43,050, including destination charges, this Unlimited Sport variant includes the following options:
