Better Engine & Better Value (Jeep Wrangler 2024 Review)

Рет қаралды 10,115

Detailed review and test of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with new 2.0T engine, improved cabin and updated aesthetics.
Iain Curry drives the facelifted Jeep Wrangler in four-door format. Already an accomplished (but niche) off-roader, the Wrangler swaps its breathless old V6 petrol for a 2.0-litre turbo petrol unit, while the interior materials and tech take a step up despite the price remaining the same on the Rubicon. The price actually goes down on other Wrangler variants.
What do you think of this Jeep for Aussie conditions?
Rivals to the Jeep Wrangler include the Ford Everest, Toyota Prado, GWM Tank 300, and others.

I'll happily buy a Tank 300 for $45-50k, as a fun weekend off-road car.

@skulkloe Ай бұрын

Halve the price and they might actually sell some of them. I've owned a Wrangler and loved it, but they are waaaay to expensive now.

@simoneatough6391 Ай бұрын

90K?? And everyone was complaining about the price of the new Prado

@cybermatstrikes7557 Ай бұрын

It wasn't that long ago when you could pick up a sport for $35k Ouch

They have at least 2 things in common - inline 4 cyl and the price!

I bought my new Unlimited Rubicon last year when I heard they’re going to swap the V6 with the 4-cylinder. I wasn’t expecting to buy a new car so soon, but I couldn’t risk being forced to get the 4-cylinder. They’re plagued with issues in the US, whereas the V6 is going 300,000km problem-free according to many reports from owners

How is it all going? I'd love one of these!

@Bonino10001 17 күн бұрын

@@wapphigh5250 pretty good. I’ve got 15,000km on it now and zero issues. And it’s such a weapon offroad - took it to Fraser Island a couple of weeks ago and the speed it can carry on the inland tracks, without making it uncomfortable for driver and passengers, is insane

In USA, if someone has the 2.0t 4cyl engine, they won’t be able to sell it second hand, not to someone who knows what they doing. The most reliable engine is the v6 3.6l petrol. Used in the wrangler since 2012. I have a gladiator and a wrangler, both rubicons and both in the 3.6l petrol. My brother has the 3.0l diesel, and it has problems. Nothing crazy yet, but it’s definitely not problem free like both mines. Mines both have been completely problem free so far. 25k miles on the gladiator 2020 model and 35k miles on the wrangler 2019 model. Got friends who have 2018 jl wrangler with 80k miles another with the older jk 2014 with 150k miles and both been completely problem free.

@wayneli4070 Ай бұрын

Yeah, I know it's the offroad icon but Tank 300 makes more sense.

@BigPoppaAA Ай бұрын

Correct, having an inline 4 cylinder for $90k. What a Jeep Joke. Crash test not good also.

@bboy349833591 12 күн бұрын

100% and the Tank 300 is far more comfortable to drive on normal roads which is what you need 90% of the time, plus an amazing interior. For $50k it’s a no brainer.

Across the range, in the US, Jeep is notorious for poor reliability and service according to latest figures.

@MichaelNiteRealEstate Ай бұрын

Jeeps aren’t that bad, they are cheap to run and fix compared to say…actually the British people and poor auto reliability are no strangers 😂 do I need to explain?

@rustykilt Ай бұрын

@@MichaelNiteRealEstate BRITISH vehicles were notorious for reliability, with RANGE ROVER taking the prize. I had a grand cherokee and it was fine until it destroyed its gear box at 12 months. faulty seal. repairs were very expensive. Never again.

Current Jeeps are heavily improved in reliability....

@00ninja00 13 күн бұрын

The Jeep has many engine choices in the USA. And all that you hear issues are the 4cycl 2.0t engine, the 4xe, and the diesel. The 3.6l v6 engine has been very reliable. It’s been used in the wrangler since 2012, and it’s known to be very reliable.

So, no more V6! Bye bye to my dream of buying one. What's the point of having a Jeep Wrangler if I can't hear the grumble of a V6? Pairing a Jeep Wrangler with a crappy, flimsy, weak 4-cylinder engine is a big mistake. I expect a drop in sales in Australia because of this poor engine decision

@gregj7916 Ай бұрын

Golly the price is seriously up there….

A V8 one would be great or the V6. Very dear to buy though.

The price is up because the AUD is down. Australians can't afford American icons anymore. Welcome to our falling standard of living.

@matthewrafferty4117 Ай бұрын

The windows switches in the dash is just dumb design. There is no reason they can't be fitted in the doors. There is no need to wind the windows down if the doors are not on the car.

@BobbyDazzler888 Ай бұрын

You obviously dont understand it’s because the doors are removable and its better for electrical design

@matthewrafferty4117 Ай бұрын

@BobbyDazzler888 well then why is the mirror control switch o the drivers door?
