The facelifted 2024 Jeep Wrangler will arrive in local showrooms in April.
Jeep Australia has confirmed the Wrangler's naturally-aspirated 209kW/347Nm 3.6-litre ‘Pentastar’ petrol V6 will be replaced by the 200kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol ‘Hurricane’ four-cylinder – down 9kW but up 53Nm.
The American brand claims that while power is similar, it is delivered at a lower RPM while offering better fuel efficiency and the same 2495-kilogram braked towing capacity.

It is priced from $75,950 before on-road costs for the base Wrangler Sport S four-door – down $5500 over the pre-facelift Night Eagle following significant price hikes applied over the last four years.
The Wrangler Overland four-door variant has been reduced by $2000, while Rubicon two- and four-door models are unchanged.
As detailed in April 2023, the famous seven-slot off-roader has also received new technology, subtle design tweaks and improved safety features.
The biggest news for off-roaders is the addition of a full-floating Dana rear axle on Rubicon models - a first for the Jeep brand - to strengthen the vehicle’s rear end.
Interior upgrades include a larger 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 widescreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and safety has improved with the addition of side curtain airbags in the first and second rows.
The entry-level Night Eagle has been replaced by a new Sport S model, adding Nexen Rodian all-terrain tyres, new-design 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear seat reminder, ambient LED interior lighting, a fabric dash panel, heated front seats and steering wheel, a 240-amp alternator, and automatic high beam.
All models feature a tougher ‘gorilla glass’ front windscreen that now houses the vehicle’s antenna, and NVH improvements.
The mid-spec Overland adds new-look 18-inch wheels with a no-cost alternative design, McKinley leather upholstery, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, anti-spin Dana M220 rear axle, black side mirrors, a hard seat back panel, and a soft spare tyre cover.

As before, the Rubicon flagship is available in two- or four-door form, with new additions including 17-inch alloy wheels, performance suspension, black Nappa leather upholstery, and a ‘premium wrapped’ dash panel.
It also receives a forward-facing TrailCam to eliminate “close-proximity blind spots during trail navigation and aids in power delivery on angled bends” – in addition to the full-floating Dana rear axle mentioned above.
The facelifted 2024 Jeep Wrangler is due in local showrooms next month. A similar update for the related 2024 Jeep Gladiator, unveiled at the Detroit auto show in September, is expected in Australia later next year.
