Two-door and four-door configurations are available, depending on the model.

Whether you’re commuting from DeWitt, heading over from Dubuque or planning summer drives along the Mississippi River, the goal is to find a Wrangler that fits your everyday life and the things you want to do with it.
What’s New on the 2027 Jeep Wrangler Compared With 2026?
The 2027 Wrangler builds on the familiar Wrangler formula with more standard equipment on several trims, additional paint choices and an expanding selection of special editions. That matters because you may find features included on a 2027 model that required additional equipment on a comparable 2026.
| Model or Feature | What Changes for 2027? |
|---|---|
| Sport, Sport S and Willys | A 7-inch TFT color instrument cluster becomes standard. |
| Sport S and Willys | Passive entry becomes standard, allowing you to unlock the front doors without taking the key fob out of your pocket. |
| Two-door Willys | Gains a standard vented power dome hood to match the four-door Willys. |
| Sahara | Adds standard McKinley-trimmed seats, side steps, nine-speaker Alpine audio, embedded navigation, rear park assist, blind-spot and cross-path detection, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, automatic high beams, a universal garage door opener and a front off-road TrailCam. |
| Rubicon | Gains standard heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and embedded navigation. |
| Exterior colors | Additional colors are announced with late availability, expanding the choices beyond the initial palette. |
A helpful detail when comparing years: the quick-release door hinges carry over from 2026. Rewind and the Willys 392 also debuted before the 2027 model year. Choosing between a remaining 2026 and a 2027 should come down to the equipment, price and availability of the actual vehicles you’re considering.
We can help you compare the window stickers side by side so you can see exactly what you’re getting.
Which 2027 Jeep Wrangler Trim Is Right for You?
Start with how you’ll use it. Someone who wants open-air summer drives and winter traction may choose a different Wrangler than someone planning regular trips over technical trails.
The main lineup includes Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sahara, Rubicon, Rubicon X, Willys 392 and MOAB 392. Rewind and Smoky Mountain add distinctive personalities to the mix, with other limited editions also announced.
Is the Wrangler Sport a Good Starting Point?
The Sport is worth a look if you want the essential Wrangler experience while keeping your budget focused. It starts the lineup with recognizable Wrangler styling, four-wheel-drive capability and modern connectivity. Standard 17-inch black steel wheels fit its straightforward character.
Think of the Sport as the place to start your comparison. Decide which additional comforts you actually want before moving up the trim ladder.
What Does the Wrangler Sport S Add?
The Sport S is a natural next step if your Wrangler will handle the work commute, errands and weekend adventures. For 2027, standard passive entry is a useful addition. It’s the sort of convenience you appreciate when your hands are full or you’re standing outside in an Iowa winter.
Standard gray-painted 17-inch wheels give it a different look from the Sport. Compare an equipped Sport S with the next trim up before deciding. Packages can change the price and equipment enough that the trim name alone won’t tell the whole story.
Why Choose the Wrangler Willys?
The Willys is for shoppers who want a stronger emphasis on trail equipment without jumping directly to a Rubicon. Equipment includes 33-inch all-terrain tires, a locking rear differential, rock rails and heavy-duty axles. Those are meaningful upgrades when the route becomes more challenging.
If you’re planning trail outings and want a Wrangler with a purposeful stance, put the Willys near the top of your list.
Who Should Consider the Wrangler Sahara?
The four-door Sahara deserves a close look if you want Wrangler character with more comfort and convenience built in. Its expanded standard equipment for 2027 makes it especially relevant if you care about navigation, upgraded audio, parking assistance and a more finished interior.
It’s a good trim to compare when you find yourself adding several comfort and technology packages to another model. Bring your daily routine into the conversation: how far you drive, who rides with you and which features you use every day.
What Makes the Wrangler Rubicon Different?
The Rubicon puts more emphasis on tackling difficult terrain. Its Rock-Trac four-wheel-drive system provides low-range gearing, while locking front and rear differentials and an electronically disconnecting front sway bar help it handle demanding obstacles.
For 2027, standard heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and navigation add everyday convenience alongside that capability. You don’t need a Rubicon just to enjoy a Wrangler. It earns its place on your shopping list when the trails you want to explore call for its additional hardware.
What Is the Wrangler Rubicon X?
The Rubicon X combines serious trail capability with a more upscale approach to comfort and equipment. It’s worth comparing if you like the Rubicon’s purpose but also want features such as upgraded seating, premium audio and an off-road camera.
Exact equipment varies with the configuration, so review the window sticker rather than assuming every Rubicon X is identical.
What Is the Wrangler Rewind?
The Rewind brings a little ’80s and ’90s personality to the Wrangler lineup. Jeep introduced it with colorful retro graphics, gold-accented details and distinctive interior touches inspired by early digital and arcade designs.
The original Rewind announcement paired that appearance with Willys-based capability, and the edition continues into the 2027 model year. If you want something with personality before you’ve added a single accessory, the Rewind is worth asking about.
What Is the Wrangler Smoky Mountain?
The four-door Smoky Mountain edition builds on the Willys foundation with a darker appearance and exclusive interior details.
- Smoky Mountain hood graphics.
- A body-color hardtop and fender flares.
- Distinctive 17-inch smoky black wheels.
- Standard 33-inch all-terrain tires.
- A locking rear differential and steel rock rails.
- Premium Black Ferndale cloth seating with Terracotta stitching.
It’s a good example of why special editions deserve a closer look: the appeal is the combination of equipment, materials and appearance.
What Are the Wrangler Willys 392 and MOAB 392?
These are the V8-powered choices. Both feature a 6.4L HEMI SRT V8 producing 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. That gives them a very different personality from the four-cylinder and V6 models.
The Willys 392 and MOAB 392 deserve their own side-by-side equipment comparison. Consider fuel costs, purchase price and how you’ll use the vehicle alongside the appeal of that V8.
Are There Other Special-Edition 2027 Wranglers?
Yes. Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve program has introduced additional choices with their own appearance and equipment combinations.
| Edition | What Makes It Different? |
|---|---|
| Laredo | Southwest-inspired styling, bronze accents, a tan soft top and Bison Brown Nappa leather. |
| JL-2A | A tribute to the original civilian Jeep, with retro orange wheels and a Heritage Tan/Bison Brown interior. |
| Switchback | Contrasting hood and door colors, Gecko accents and Rubicon X-based equipment. |
Special editions have specific production and availability considerations. An announced edition may not be available to order or sitting on a nearby lot when you shop. Ask us to check the latest availability.
What Colors Are Available on the 2027 Jeep Wrangler?
Color is a big part of making a Wrangler feel like yours. Jeep’s 2027 design page displays these eight choices.
| Exterior Color | The Look |
|---|---|
| ’41 | A heritage-inspired green. |
| Black | Classic and understated. |
| Bright White | Clean, crisp and easy to pair with contrasting trim. |
| Earl | A softer gray with a distinctive character. |
| Firecracker Red | Bright and unmistakable. |
| Granite Crystal | A darker metallic gray. |
| Hydro Blue | A bold blue that stands out. |
| Joose | A vivid orange for shoppers who want something lively. |
Additional colors announced with late availability include Gobi, Sting Gray, Hella Yella, Ghost, limited-edition Fathom Blue and limited-edition Gum 31.
Paint availability and additional charges depend on the model and order configuration. If a particular color is your must-have, let us check current ordering availability before you build the rest of your wish list around it.
What Interior Choices and Comfort Features Can You Get?
Your interior choices depend on the trim and any special-edition package. Cloth seating makes sense if you want a straightforward cabin. Other configurations offer upgraded trimmed surfaces or leather, while special editions bring unique colors, stitching and graphics.
Smoky Mountain uses dark cloth with warm accent stitching. JL-2A goes in a different direction with its Heritage Tan and Bison Brown combination. Switchback uses Global Black Nappa leather with contrasting accents.
When comparing vehicles, look at these features individually:
- Heated front seats.
- Heated steering wheel.
- Power-adjustable front seats.
- Automatic climate control.
- Remote start.
- Seat material and color.
- Step-in height and passenger access.
For a family vehicle, bring the people who will ride in it. Checking seat comfort and getting in and out tells you more than a feature list can.
Which 2027 Wrangler Engine Should You Choose?
The 2027 Wrangler offers three gasoline engine choices. The right one depends on how you drive, your transmission preference and what you want to spend.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Transmission Choices |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L Turbo Four-Cylinder | 270 hp | 295 lb-ft | Eight-speed automatic |
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 285 hp | 260 lb-ft | Six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic, depending on configuration |
| 6.4L HEMI SRT V8 | 470 hp | 470 lb-ft | Eight-speed automatic |
The numbers tell an interesting story: the turbocharged four-cylinder makes more torque than the V6, while the V6 makes slightly more horsepower. You shouldn’t rule out the smaller engine based on cylinder count alone.
If you want a manual transmission, focus your search on eligible V6 configurations. If the V8 is what brought you here, compare the two 392 models directly.
Engine and transmission availability varies by trim. The best next step is to drive the engines you’re considering on a route that resembles your normal driving.
Should You Buy a Two-Door or Four-Door Wrangler?
The two-door Wrangler seats four, while the four-door Wrangler seats five. That’s the starting point, but passenger access and everyday cargo needs deserve just as much attention.
| Choose the Two-Door If... | Choose the Four-Door If... |
|---|---|
| You prefer a smaller vehicle. | You regularly carry rear-seat passengers. |
| Rear-seat access is an occasional concern. | Children, friends or pets ride with you often. |
| You travel relatively light. | You need more flexibility for luggage and everyday gear. |
| You like the proportions of a traditional short Wrangler. | You want an easier fit for family duties. |
Bring the stroller, cooler, dog crate or other item that needs to fit. You’ll answer the space question much faster than trying to picture it from dimensions.
Which Wrangler Roof Should You Choose?
The right roof depends on how you want to enjoy open-air driving and how much effort you want to put into it.
Is a Soft Top Right for You?
A soft top is worth considering if you expect to open the roof frequently and want flexibility during the warmer months. Think about outdoor parking, winter use and your preferences for cabin sound before deciding.
Is a Hardtop a Better Fit?
The Freedom Top three-piece hardtop comes in black or body-color versions, depending on the configuration. It’s a natural choice to compare if your Wrangler will spend plenty of time on the highway or outside through changing seasons. Plan ahead for storing the removable sections.
What Is the Sky One-Touch Power Top?
The available Sky One-Touch Power Top lets you open the fabric roof with a button. It’s worth considering if you love the idea of an open roof and want to make it easy to use regularly.
Jeep also lists a Sunrider for Hardtop option, which provides a different way to open the area above the front seats. Roof choices are configuration-dependent. Ask for a demonstration so you know how your preferred top works before choosing.
