Following the launch of the all-new Gladiator, Jeep now shifts its attention on the upcoming Wrangler. Despite getting a design refresh for the 2018 model year, the model is once again getting new updates including a new trim package, powertrains, and – possibly – a price hike.
The 2020 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Limited are reportedly getting a slew of updates, many of which are expected to benefit the lower trim models. Beginning with the Sport S trim, the optional LED exterior lighting package will be offered as well as an upgraded Advanced Safety Group that now includes the automatic high-beam headlight control. This would, however, require installation of the 84-inch Uconnect touchscreen with Navigation.
Jeep is also releasing the Wrangler Black and Tan Edition package based on the Sport S trim. The new editions include a whole new set of luxury features such as a tan premium Sunrider soft top with an optional dual top, 17-inch Machined Granite Crytal Wheels with all-terrain rubber, black Jeep fender badges, side steps. Heritage tan cloth seats, a 7-inch Uconnect touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, and Sirius XM Satellite Radio.
Consumers will be given a two-door and four-door configurations for the Black and Tan Edition for an additional $1,695 on the Sport S’s base price. For the exterior colors, 12 colors will be available in 2020 with the Heritage Tan replacing the Dark Saddle as an interior furnish.
Under the hood, the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 is expected to arrive later in the year. Wrangler Saharas with automatic transmissions will get an eTorque mild hybrid setup with the same V6 engine, while a non-eTorque 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is set to replace its eTorque option for the Sport and Rubicon models.
But aside from the styling, feature, and engine upgrades that the 2020 Jeep Wrangler is set to receive, it is also reportedly getting a base price increase of $250 across the board. The Rubicon and Sport with the non-eTorque engine, though, are expected to be priced less than their previous generations.
Jeep is set to confirm details on the pricing of the upcoming Wrangler as well as the official release of the model.
