A trio of Stellantis vehicles have been recognized in the annual Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com 5-Year Cost to Own Awards. The awards recognize new vehicles with the lowest projected ownership costs over the initial five-year ownership period.

The Wrangler has made the 5-Year Cost to Own Award list for the seventh consecutive time in the awards’ ten-year history. It also marks the third consecutive time in the Off-Road SUV segment.
For 2021, there are two new variants of the Wrangler to hit the market. That includes the electrified Wrangler Unlimited 4xe, which uses an advanced 375 horsepower powertrain providing a unique on and off-road experience through the combination of two electric motors, a high-voltage battery pack, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder and hybrid-assisted TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission. The most advanced powertrain ever developed for a Jeep Wrangler maximizes efficiency, delivering 49 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) and 21 miles of pure-electric operation for most daily commutes.
The second new model is the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 is the quickest and most powerful Wrangler yet. Powered by a 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) HEMI V8 rated at 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, it is mated to a fast-shifting TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission and Selec-Trac full-time active transfer case.
