2023 Jeep Wrangler price and specs

Jeep has made a series of detail changes to the Wrangler for 2023, and has resisted raising the prices again after two successive hikes last year.

The range continues to consist of two-door Wrangler Rubicon and four-door Wrangler Unlimited Night Eagle, Overland and Rubicon variants.

All models swap a leather-wrapped steering wheel for one finished in leatherette, and lose their luggage compartment floor mat.

Overland and Rubicon models also lose their Trail Rail cargo management system.

As with the Gladiator, the Wrangler Rubicon has lost its front axle disconnect. However, it retains locking front and rear differentials and sway bar disconnect, and claimed fuel economy is unchanged.

The Night Eagle gets a different wheel design, as does the Rubicon which swaps from a polished 17-inch design with black pockets to a machined black wheel. The former now becomes optional.

Both Night Eagle and Overland models swap their 650 Amp batteries for 700 Amp ones.

Finally, there’s no longer a Black/Dark Saddle interior option on the Rubicon. All models are now offered exclusively with a black interior.

While Jeep offers a punchy turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine in North America as well as a plug-in hybrid turbo four wearing 4xe branding, only the venerable Pentastar V6 is offered locally.

Early last year, Jeep hiked prices by between $6600 and $7000 across the range, and then again in August by between $6000 and a whopping $12,000.

Jeep blamed “a convergence of global market forces”, including semiconductor shortages and rising freight and material costs.

The company recently revealed a facelifted Wrangler, which it says will be here towards the end of the year.

Changes include a new grille, new wheel designs, and a restyled dashboard featuring a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system running the latest generation of Uconnect.

They also swap out the Dana M186 front and M200 rear axles for Dana M210 and M220 units, respectively, and gain an Off-Road+ mode.
