THE Jeep Wrangler 2025 retains its manual transmission and V-6 engine, but now the two are inseparable.
For 2025, the 3.6-liter V-6, which produces 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, will be available only with the 6-speed manual. Buyers can still choose the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, which is rated at 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, but an 8-speed automatic transmission is mandatory with that engine.

Jeep will also continue to offer the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid, which adds a pair of electric motors to the turbo-4, but that powertrain was only available with the 8-speed automatic transmission. The 4xe bumps output to 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, while its 17 kWh battery provides up to 21 miles of EPA-rated electric range.
Earlier this year, Jeep also announced that the Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition would return, giving the 6.4-liter V-8 a reprieve. The special edition was released for the 2024 model year to celebrate what would be the end of the V-8, which produces 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Performance numbers include a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds and a quarter-mile ET of around 13 seconds.

Production of the Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition was limited to just 3,700 units for the Model year 2024. That included 3,300 for the U.S., 300 for Canada and 100 for the rest of the world. Jeep didn’t say how many 2025 models it plans to build, but it previously confirmed that order books will open later this year and production will begin in the first quarter of 2025.
Other new features for the 2025 Wrangler are minor, as the Wrangler has received a big update for 2024. Power door locks and power windows are now standard on all models, and a feature available for the Jeep app allows owners to precondition the climate control before entering the vehicle. A ’41 paint color inspired by the olive drab used by military Jeeps is also new.
