The hot state of Utah in the USA welcomes us, we specifically arrived at the small town of Hurricaine, in Washington County where Jeep had already set up a presentation with all the variants of the beloved Wrangler, in all its versions that are worth mentioning are many .
What will be presented in 2024?
In the US, the two- and four-door range will be available in all versions, but not in Mexico, where only four-door versions will reach us and in the description of each model we will specify whether or not that version reaches our country.
The complete 2024 Wrangler range consists of eight versions And the most interesting thing is that of those eight versions there will be -in the United States from the start- six versions with the plug-in hybrid motorization, which we hope will reach Mexico in 2024, as a 2025 model.
In the Utah desert we were able to meet and drive in extreme conditions and also in normal conditions The Wrangler range will arrive in our country and will initially consist of three models:
willys and sahara that will carry a new mechanics of 4 turbo cylinders and the Rubicon which retains the V6 engine. Towards the end of 2024, the versions called 4xe that carry plug-in hybrid mechanics will arrive as a 2025 model.
The model called Jeep Wrangler was born in 1986 and is the successor to the legendary CJ (Civil Jeep) and by 2024 it presents a deep “Face Lift” that possibly announces the arrival of a new generation of Wrangler in a couple of years.
We will know the news of each version.
In Mexico, the Willys will be the entry model and before detailing its characteristics, let’s dig a little into the origin of Willys. It dates from 1908 when John Willys founded the Willys-Overland Motors company, which was dissolved when it was sold in 1963. The Sahara will be the mid-range and finally the Rubicon, which continues with the 3.6L V6 engine.
Willys and Sahara 2024
Jeep Willys 2024 with a deep level of extra accessorization
They carry a 2.0-liter displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engine that replaces the familiar V6, is rated at 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which meets SULEV 30 emissions standards, features Double Overhead Camshafts (DOHC), Dual Independent Camshaft Timing and Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (C-EGR).
This combination of technologies enables high levels of performance and reduces fuel consumption.
The front suspension on the Willys and Sahara versions of the Wrangler features two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for longitudinal control and a crossbar for lateral axis control.
The five-link rear suspension features a similar layout to the front suspension, with two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for longitudinal axis control and a tie rod for lateral axis control.
The most notable aesthetic changes are noted in the characteristic design of the grill, that although it is a little smaller it is fully functional, and a detail that they never tired of reminding us, the 2024 model no longer has a fixed antenna on the body, it is now integrated into the windshield, which by the way is made with Gorilla Glass
Talking about infotainment
An all-new 12.3-inch touchscreen, housing the fifth-generation Uconnect 5 system, sits prominently at the top of the center console, just above the slim new rectangular interior air vent. The external air vents retain their characteristic circular shape.
Uconnect 5 offers five times faster operating speeds compared to the previous generation. Using an Android operating system and over the air (OTA) updates, Uconnect 5 provides flexibility that will allow the system to continually evolve to offer new content, features and services.
Wrangler’s Uconnect 5 system offers more connected services and features for ease of use.
- 12.3 inch digital touch screen (NEW)
- Five user profiles plus a valet mode: customizable music preferences, apps, seating position, mirror angles and climate comfort levels (NEW)
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus USB Type A and C ports
- Fully customizable home screen for quick access to frequently used features and one-touch operation (NEW)
- Simultaneous connectivity for two Bluetooth-enabled phones (NEW)
- Alexa Home to Car functionality to include the Alexa virtual assistant in the vehicle with natural voice capability and Car to Home functions
- Uconnect Mobile App
- 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot to connect up to eight wireless devices
rubicon 2024
It is a special version dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the RUBICON sub-brand. It basically offers the same accessories described above, but this model -which until the arrival of the 4Xe version- is the top of the range and has the well-known 3.6-liter V6 engine that It delivers 285 hp in the 6,400-rpm range and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 revs.
4X4 Extreme
All the versions that arrive in Mexico have a Double Traction system that we can describe as follows:
- Command-Trac part-time transfer case
- Rock-Trac Part Time Transfer Case
- Rock-Trac Full Time Transfer Case
- Selec-Trac Full Time Transfer Case
- Water fording up to 34 inches
- approach angles
- Angle of attack: 47.4 degrees
- Break Angle: 27.8 degrees
- Departure Angle: 40.4 degrees
- Ground Clearance: 12.9 inches
The new hybrid in the Wrangler: 4xe
Let’s talk about the Plug-in Hybrid versions, which will be present in the Mexican market in the second half of 2024, as 2025 models.
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s powertrain integrates two electric motors and a 400-volt battery with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. This configuration maximizes the efficiency of the hybrid powertrain components.
The Wrangler 4xe’s hybrid powertrain includes 375 horsepower (280 kW), 470 lb-ft of torque and 49 MPGe from the following components:
2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine
- 375 combined horsepower
- 470 lb-ft of torque
electrical mechanics
- Engine Mounted Motor Generator Unit
- Transmission-mounted motor-generator unit integrated into eight-speed automatic transmission
- 400 Volt 17 kWh 96 Cell Lithium Ion Nickel Manganese Cobalt Battery Pack
Drive modes
- Hybrid: Default mode combines torque from the 2.0-liter engine and electric motor. In this mode, the powertrain will first use power from the battery and then add propulsion from the gasoline engine, when the battery reaches the minimum state of charge.
- Electric: The powertrain runs on 100% zero-emission electric power only until the battery reaches minimum charge or the driver requests a sudden foot throttle, activating the 2.0-liter engine
- eSave: Prioritizes propulsion from the 2.0-liter engine, saving battery charge for later use, such as off-road EVs or urban areas where internal combustion propulsion is restricted.
Drive modes that prioritize Battery Save and Battery Charge can also be chosen during eSave through the Uconnect system’s configurable monitor.
The propulsion system of a Jeep Wrangler promises an approximate autonomy of 20.8 km per liter and in turn the specifications indicate that it can deliver up to 33 kilometers traveled electrically.
Wrangler 392 The forbidden fruit for Mexico!
Unfortunately we will not have available in the national market this monster created simply because Jeep can do it.
The aesthetic of 392 is visually rudebut under the chest hides a mammoth 6.4-liter V8 that puts out 470 hp and a similar amount -470- lb-ft of torque and 75% is available just above idle speed of the engine, the V8 offers a 0-60 time of just over 4.5 seconds. Let’s not forget, it’s a Jeep Wrangler!
The 6.4-liter V8 uses a cast-iron cylinder block, aluminum heads, active intake manifold, variable camshaft timing, dual spark plugs per cylinder, sodium-filled exhaust valves, hollow-stem intake valves, and jets. piston oil cooling The Wrangler Rubicon 392 engine is equipped with a high-mount alternator and free-flow exhaust manifolds.
It offers cylinder deactivation and switches to four-cylinder mode when engine loads are lower, for example when driving on the highway.
A functional hood scoop feeds the Wrangler Rubicon 392’s engine with cooler, denser outside air and adds that wicked touch to the 392 as well as being functional.
