About the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL

Jeep’s new Wrangler walks the delicate balance of being all-new without compromising more than 75 years of tradition. The seven-slot grille, 4×4 drivetrain, body-on-frame design, fold-down windshield, and removable top all remain. The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL’s legendary off-road capability is enhanced, and Jeep engineers have made improvements to the safety, fuel efficiency, and on-road ride quality.

Win-win.

While it’s unclear where this new Wrangler JL will sit in the Pantheon of off-road vehicles, we can say with confidence that this is the most technologically advanced Jeep Wrangler ever produced.
