What’s New With the 2026 Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler has always been the gold standard for off-road adventure—but for 2026, it levels up in a big way. From a ferocious new V-8-powered Moab 392 to smarter design tweaks and bold new colors, the latest Wrangler lineup delivers more capability, more personality, and more reasons to go topless and doorless. Here’s a closer look at what’s new for the 2026 Jeep Wrangler.

Introducing the Wrangler Moab 392

The headline addition for 2026 is the all-new Wrangler Moab 392, a four-door beast built for serious off-roaders who crave muscle-car power in trail-rated form. At its heart is a 6.4-liter V-8 engine producing a jaw-dropping 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Moab 392 comes loaded with hardcore hardware, including:

• 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels
• Massive 35-inch all-terrain tires
• 4.56 axle ratio
• 2.72:1 Selec-Trac full-time transfer case
• Two-mode dual exhaust
• Cold-air intake hood with water separator

It’s Wrangler capability taken to the extreme—right off the showroom floor.

Easier Open-Air Freedom Than Ever

Jeep made one of the Wrangler’s most beloved features even better. For 2026, an enhanced door hinge system allows for quicker, easier door removal, making it simpler than ever to enjoy that iconic open-air Jeep experience. Less wrenching. More trail time.

New Limited-Edition Colors Turn Up the Personality

Wrangler style gets a bold refresh for 2026 with the addition of Reign, plus several limited-edition colors arriving later in the model year:

• Goldilocks (late availability)
• Joose (late availability)
• Earl Grey (late availability)
• Tuscadero (late availability)

These join a full color palette that already includes favorites like Firecracker Red, Hydro Blue, ‘41, and Granite Crystal—ensuring there’s a Wrangler for every personality.

Expanded Capability Options on Willys

The Willys trim gets more rugged for 2026 with newly available steel bumpers and a front Warn winch (two-door models only). It’s another nod to Wrangler’s off-road roots, giving drivers more trail-ready tools straight from the factory.

Powertrains Built for Every Type of Adventure

The 2026 Wrangler offers three proven engine options:

• 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4: 270 horsepower, 295 lb.-ft. of torque
• 3.6-liter V-6: 285 horsepower, 260 lb.-ft. of torque (manual or automatic)
• 6.4-liter V-8: 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque

Whether you want efficiency, classic Jeep performance, or full-throttle V-8 power, there’s a Wrangler built for your drive.

Legendary Capability, Still Best in Class

Wrangler’s trail credentials remain unmatched for 2026, with:

• Best-in-class towing capacity up to 5,000 pounds (when properly equipped)
• Best-in-class crawl ratios up to 100:1
• Four advanced 4×4 systems: Command-Trac, Rock-Trac (part-time and full-time), and Selec-Trac
• Approach angle of 47.4°, departure angle of 40.4°, and breakover angle of 26.7°
• 12.9 inches of ground clearance
• Up to 35 inches of water fording

In other words: still the benchmark.
