The 2027 Jeep Wrangler comes standard with a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, integrated trail mapping, side curtain airbags for both seating rows, removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and part-time four-wheel drive. Base trims feature durable cloth upholstery, soft or hard open-air top configurations, front and rear tow hooks, underbody skid plates, and an eight-speaker audio system.
Building upon the established JL platform, the 2027 Wrangler lineup expands with the newly introduced Laredo trim, which slots above the Willys trim equipped with the Xtreme 35 Tire package with a starting MSRP roughly $1,995 higher. Standard equipment across entry models like the Sport and Sport S focuses on fundamental off-road durability combined with modern cabin tech. Drivers receive keyless push-button start, illuminated cup holders, a height-adjustable driver's seat, and a 7-inch digital driver information display on Sport S models.
Every 2027 Wrangler continues to offer iconic open-air configurations, including two-door and four-door body styles. Top options range from the standard Sunrider soft top and three-piece Freedom Top hardtop to the available Sky One-Touch power top, which opens the roof at the press of a button. For drivers considering alternative utility formats, our team can also walk you through the new Jeep Gladiator truck selection for open-air driving with an integrated pickup bed.

Which Engines and Transmissions Power the 2027 Jeep Wrangler?
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler offers four distinct engine options paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering power outputs ranging from 270 hp up to 470 hp. Drivetrain options start with the proven 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and extend to the turbocharged four-cylinder, the 4xe plug-in hybrid, and the high-output V8.
The foundational 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine produces 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. It remains the only engine in the 2027 lineup available with a standard six-speed manual transmission, while an eight-speed automatic transmission is optional. For torque-focused driving, the available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with the eight-speed automatic.
For hybrid performance, the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain combines the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor to output 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy for the 4xe is EPA-rated at 21 mpg combined and 49 MPGe, with an all-electric driving range of approximately 22 miles from its 17.3 kWh battery pack. When connected to a 240-volt Level 2 charger, the battery recharges completely in about 2 to 2.5 hours. Commuters driving through the Blue Ridge foothills around Greer will find that the 4xe plug-in hybrid delivers quiet electric operation on short drives before seamlessly engaging the turbocharged engine.
At the top of the performance spectrum, the Willys 392 and Moab 392 trims feature a massive 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine churning out 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, capable of launching the SUV from 0 to 60 mph in roughly 4 seconds.
Shoppers comparing power options can explore our current new Jeep Wrangler models or browse our new Jeep Compass inventory for smaller daily commuters. We also maintain a wide selection of pre-owned cars and SUVs for budget-conscious buyers.
When shoppers ask our sales team about charging the 4xe plug-in hybrid, we clarify that a standard 120-volt household outlet easily tops off the battery overnight, though installing a Level 2 home charging station dramatically speeds up recovery time during busy weekends.
How Do 4WD Systems and Interior Features Differ on the 2027 Wrangler Sahara Versus Rubicon?
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler Sahara focuses on daily highway refinement and full-time four-wheel-drive convenience, while the Rubicon prioritizes extreme mechanical trail traction and maximum wheel articulation. Differing transfer cases, axle configurations, and interior luxury appointments define the two trims.
The Sahara comes standard with the Selec-Trac full-time 4WD system, which features a 2.72:1 low-range ratio that automatically routes power between the front and rear axles based on road conditions. Inside, the Sahara elevates comfort with standard synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, integrated navigation, and a 9-speaker Alpine premium sound system. It rides on 18-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season tires, providing a smooth, quiet ride on paved roads.
By contrast, the Rubicon utilizes the heavy-duty Rock-Trac 4WD system with a 4:1 low-range ratio, providing exceptional slow-speed control over steep rocks and uneven terrain. Standard equipment includes Tru-Lok front and rear electronic locking differentials, heavy-duty solid axles, an electronic front sway bar disconnect, performance off-road shocks, and 17-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires. While leather seating and upgraded audio are standard on the premium Rubicon X, standard Rubicon models come with durable cloth seats designed for quick cleaning after trail runs.
Shoppers seeking 35-inch factory tires should note that they are not available on the Sahara trim. Factory 35-inch tires require stepping to the Rubicon or Willys models equipped with the optional Xtreme 35 Tire package.
Drivers interested in earlier model years with similar feature packages can check out our certified pre-owned vehicle selection for factory-backed peace of mind.
What Heavy-Duty Axles, Ground Clearance, and Towing Specs Make the 2027 Rubicon Trail-Ready?
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon achieves its legendary off-road rating through a specialized mechanical foundation featuring heavy-duty solid axles, high-clearance suspension geometry, and exceptional low-speed crawl ratios. It is engineered specifically to maintain structural integrity under severe trail impacts.
Underneath the body, the Rubicon incorporates a Dana 44 heavy-duty solid front axle and a Dana 44 full-float rear axle. The full-float rear axle design transfers vehicle weight directly to the axle tube rather than the axle shaft, allowing for increased load capacities and supporting larger tire fitments without bending. Ground clearance on the standard Rubicon measures 10.8 inches, expanding up to 12.9 inches when equipped with the Xtreme 35 Tire package.
Key mechanical trail features on the Rubicon include:
- Tru-Lok electronic locking front and rear differentials for equal power delivery to all wheels.
- An electronic front sway bar disconnect that increases front wheel articulation over severe obstacles.
- Rock rails to protect lower body sheet metal from obstacle impacts.
- Up to 5,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity on four-door models equipped with the Dana 44 full-float rear axle, compared to 2,000 pounds on two-door variants and 3,500 pounds on standard four-door models.
For drivers heading out toward Lake Greenwood with a boat or camper trailer, the heavy-duty rear axle and 5,000-pound tow rating provide serious peace of mind. To keep your trail vehicle running in top form or to outfit it with authentic Mopar rock rails and winches, you can schedule service or order genuine parts through our dedicated department.
What Driver Assistance and Safety Features Are Available on the 2027 Wrangler?
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler offers a comprehensive suite of active driver assistance technologies designed to increase highway confidence without compromising its rugged off-road utility. Standard passive safety begins with high-strength steel frame construction and first- and second-row side curtain airbags.
Available driver assistance features on the 2027 Wrangler include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go: Maintains a driver-selected distance from vehicles ahead on the highway.
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: Alerts the driver to potential front impacts and applies emergency braking if necessary.
- Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Path Detection: Warns of vehicles occupying side blind zones or approaching from the side while reversing.
- ParkSense Rear Park Assist: Uses rear sensors to detect obstacles when maneuvering into tight spaces.
- Automatic high-beam headlamps that dim automatically for oncoming traffic.
For off-road navigation, an optional TrailCam front-facing off-road camera displays low-angle trail obstacles directly on the 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 screen, allowing drivers to navigate narrow rock passes without a spotter.
