The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has long been an icon in the off-road world, known for its rugged capabilities and unmistakable design. Whether you’re a seasoned off-roader or someone who just appreciates a vehicle that can handle any terrain, the Wrangler Rubicon has always been a go-to choice.
However, Jeep didn’t rest on its laurels with the latest 2024 model. The new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4-Door brings a host of upgrades and modern features that make it more versatile and capable than ever before.
From advanced safety technologies to luxurious interiors, Jeep has taken the Rubicon beyond its traditional roots while maintaining its hardcore off-road persona. The combination of cutting-edge tech and trail-rated toughness makes this vehicle a standout in a crowded market. For those who love the great outdoors but also appreciate comfort and convenience, the 2024 Wrangler Rubicon is a dream come true.
Let’s explore ten of the most exciting features that set the new Wrangler Rubicon 4-Door apart from the competition.
Trail Rated: Built for Off-Road Excellence
Before we go deep into what makes the new Wrangler Rubicon great, it’s important to highlight the Wrangler Rubicon’s Trail Rated status. This badge isn’t just for show—it showcases the vehicle’s off-road prowess. The Wrangler excels in five key categories: water fording, ground clearance, articulation, maneuverability, and traction. These capabilities make the Rubicon not just a daily driver that can go off-roading, but a purpose-built off-roader that can handle daily driving with ease.
High Clearance Fender Flares
One of the first things you’ll notice about the 2024 Wrangler Rubicon is its high-clearance fender flares. These are not just cosmetic additions; they play a crucial role in enhancing the vehicle’s off-road capabilities. By sitting higher on the vehicle, the fender flares provide additional room for suspension articulation, which is essential when navigating rocky or uneven terrain. They also allow for the installation of oversized tires without compromising the vehicle’s performance, making them a favorite among off-road enthusiasts.
Powerful 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 Engine
At the heart of the Wrangler Rubicon is the 2.0L Turbo inline-4 “Hurricane” engine. While it may not be the V8 that some off-road purists desire, this engine still delivers a respectable 268 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. It’s versatile enough to cater to a broad range of drivers, from those new to off-roading to seasoned adventurers. Plus, the engine’s clever design allows for up to 34 inches of water-fording capability, making it ideal for tackling any terrain—whether it’s a muddy trail or a flooded street.
Luxurious Nappa Leather Seats
The Wrangler Rubicon isn’t just about ruggedness—it also offers a touch of luxury. The new Nappa leather seats bring a level of sophistication not commonly associated with off-road vehicles. Found in high-end Italian supercars, these seats are both comfortable and stylish, providing power adjustments for added convenience. Whether you’re on a long road trip or navigating rough terrain, the Nappa leather seats ensure you do it in comfort and style.
Integrated Off-Road Camera
Navigating tricky trails can be a challenge, especially when you can’t see what’s directly in front of your vehicle. That’s where the integrated off-road camera comes in handy. This feature provides a clear view of the terrain ahead, complete with dynamic gridlines that show where the tires are pointed. When things get messy, the camera even has an integrated washer to keep the lens clean. It’s a practical tool that enhances both safety and confidence while off-roading.
New Grille Design
The 2024 Wrangler Rubicon sports a redesigned grille that blends form and function. The new mesh design, featuring seven outlines instead of the traditional seven slots, gives the vehicle a modern look while also improving airflow to the engine. This isn’t just about aesthetics—better airflow means better engine cooling, especially during demanding off-road activities. Jeep has managed to update the Wrangler’s appearance while ensuring it stays true to its rugged roots.
Bigger 12.3″ Uconnect Touchscreen
One of the standout features of the new Wrangler Rubicon is its massive 12.3″ Uconnect touchscreen. This upgrade not only provides a larger interface but also enhances functionality. Equipped with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the Uconnect system allows for seamless smartphone integration. The touchscreen also includes built-in navigation and Jeep’s Off-Road Info Pages, which provide real-time data like pitch, roll, and power distribution. This feature ensures you have all the information you need, whether you’re on the road or deep in the wilderness.
Ready-for-Adventure 33″ Tires
Right out of the showroom, the Wrangler Rubicon is ready for adventure, thanks to its 33-inch BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires. These tires are designed to provide exceptional grip on various surfaces, from rocky trails to muddy paths. They also contribute to the vehicle’s impressive 11 inches of ground clearance, allowing you to tackle challenging terrains with ease. Whether you’re an off-road novice or a seasoned pro, these tires ensure the Rubicon is always up for the challenge.
Premium 9-Speaker Alpine Sound System
Long drives to off-road destinations are made more enjoyable with the Wrangler Rubicon’s 9-speaker Alpine sound system. This premium audio setup delivers crisp and clear sound, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes even when you’re miles away from civilization. Despite the Wrangler’s removable roof and doors, the NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) levels are impressively low, ensuring a comfortable and immersive audio experience.
Advanced Safety Features: FCW, ACC, and BSM
Jeep has made significant strides in safety with the 2024 Wrangler Rubicon. The vehicle comes equipped with advanced driver-assist systems, including Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM). These features work together to enhance safety both on and off the road. The Active Braking system can prevent accidents by automatically applying the brakes in emergency situations, while ACC and BSM add convenience and peace of mind during long drives.
Six Airbags for Enhanced Protection
In addition to its advanced safety tech, the Wrangler Rubicon now comes with six airbags, up from four in the previous model. The addition of side-curtain airbags embedded into the roll cage provides extra protection in the event of a rollover or side impact. This upgrade ensures that you and your passengers are well-protected, whether you’re on a challenging trail or navigating through city traffic.
