- The 2025 Jeep Wrangler gets few changes after 2024’s update
- The new Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 special edition honors Jeep’s military roots
- Wranglers can still be had with a manual transmission and V-8 engine
- Base 2025 Wranglers cost $300 more than 2024 models
Order books for the 2025 Jeep Wrangler are currently open, and options like a manual transmission and V-8 engine are still available, albeit with limitations.
The 2025 Wrangler is just arriving at dealerships, and pricing starts at $33,990, including an $1,895 destination charge. That’s $300 more than last year, and that increase is partially due to the destination charge increasing by $100.

The Wrangler was just given an update for 2024, with new grades and more standard equipment added. As a result, changes for 2025 are mild. The list includes power locks and power windows now standard across the range, as well as the addition of an available cabin ventilation system that enables owners to pre-ventilate the cabin using an app on their phones.
Existing standard features on the Wrangler include Dana solid front and rear axles, four-wheel drive with a Command-Trac 2.72:1 part-time transfer case, 17-inch alloy wheels with 32-inch tires, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, fog lights, an eight-speaker audio system, and a rearview camera.
The 2025 model year also sees the launch of a special edition based on the Wrangler 4xe Willys. Called the Willys ’41, the special edition features a number of styling cues that honor the legendary Willys MB launched in 1941, and is priced from $61,825. The special edition’s military-inspired olive drab paint finish has also been made available as part of the 2025 Wrangler’s paint palette.

Powertrain options continue to include a 2.0-liter turbo-4 rated at 270 hp, a 3.6-liter V-6 rated at 285 hp, a 6.4-liter V-8 rated at 470 hp, and a plug-in hybrid system combining the 2.0-liter turbo-4 with a pair of electric motors for a peak of 375 hp. The plug-in hybrid setup, limited to Wrangler 4xe models, features a 17-kwh battery pack that provides up to 21 miles of EPA-rated electric range.
A 6-speed manual can now only be ordered with the V-6 (it was previously also available with the turbo-4), and was originally set to be the engine’s only transmission. However, new Jeep boss Bob Broderdorf revealed to Motor1 recently that an 8-speed automatic will be made available with the V-6 once again, albeit at a hefty $4,500 premium. All other powertrains come with the 8-speed automatic only. The turbo-4 costs $2,500 more than the V-6, though that also includes the price of the automatic.

The V-8 engine is only available in the limited-edition Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition. This special edition was launched for the 2024 model year to celebrate what was to be the end of the V-8’s availability in the Wrangler, but Jeep decided to bring it back for 2025. Production of the Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition was limited to just 3,700 units for the 2024 model year. That included 3,300 for the U.S., 300 for Canada, and 100 for the rest of the world. Jeep hasn’t said how many it plans to build for 2025, but did share that production will begin in early 2025. It also hasn’t revealed pricing, but the 2025 model is likely to match or exceed the 2024 model’s $101,890 sticker.
Regular Rubicons already come equipped with a lot as standard, but the Final Edition treatment brings even more goodies. It adds a Warn winch rated at 8,000 pounds, Mopar-designed rock sliders and swing gate table, and a half-inch suspension lift that creates 11.6 inches of ground clearance and 34.5 inches of water-fording ability. It also adds 35-inch tires. Performance figures include a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds and a quarter-mile ET of about 13 seconds.
