## **Summary**

The **2025 Jeep Wrangler** retains its legendary off-road prowess and undeniable cool factor, but remains a polarising choice on sealed roads. 

A new 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder adds more torque yet doesn’t transform the Wrangler’s road manners; it’s still noisy and flighty at highway speeds. Cabin technology is updated, though interior packaging flaws persist. 

For uncompromising off-road ability in a short-wheelbase SUV, it’s tough to beat—but everyday liveability continues to be overshadowed by rough edges and a steep price tag.

## **Pros & Cons**

### **Pros**

- Punchy, newly introduced turbo-petrol engine
- Timeless design and unstoppable off-road capabilities
- Cabin technology improves with a bigger screen

### **Cons**

- Relatively expensive compared to 4×4 rivals
- Cramped footwell with no driver’s footrest
- Still bouncy, noisy, and unwieldy on sealed roads

## **Specs**

- **Body Style**: Short-wheelbase off-road SUV
- **Platform**: Ladder-frame with solid axles (Wrangler JL)
- **Launched**: 2023 facelift (Global)
- **Local Arrival**: 2025
- **Engine(s)**: 2.0L turbo-petrol (200kW/400Nm, 8AT, part-time 4x4)

## **Interior & Features**

The revised Wrangler gains a **12.3-inch** Uconnect touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, plus a new Gorilla Glass windshield. Classic physical switchgear - like the transfer case lever and toggles for windows - remain. 

Upholstery in the Rubicon is premium Nappa leather, though the interior still feels cramped, especially around the driver’s left foot. The short-wheelbase cabin is cozy, and the second row is workable for short stints. Storage is minimal, and the side-hinged tailgate plus swing-up rear glass can be cumbersome.

## **Engine & Fuel Economy**

Power is now from a **2.0-litre turbo-petrol four** (200kW/400Nm), replacing the old V6\. Matched to an eight-speed automatic, it yields a claimed 9.9L/100km, though we averaged **11.2L/100km** in mixed use.

 The part-time 4x4 system with 2H, 4A, 4H, and 4L modes remains, along with front and rear diff locks, plus an electronically disconnecting front sway bar for serious off-road tasks.

**Score:** 7.3 / 10

"The turbo-four brings fresh energy to Jeep’s off-road icon, but fundamental on-road flaws remain. Still a niche choice."

## **Safety Rating**

**Three-star ANCAP** (tested 2019, valid until December 2025). Adult occupant protection: 60%. Child occupant protection: 80%. Vulnerable road user: 49%. Safety assist: 51%.

It’s a generational quirk that the Wrangler is built with off-road priorities in mind. Standard AEB, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise, and side curtain airbags are new additions, but the vehicle’s structure remains limiting.

| **Category**                        | **Score** | **Points** |
| ----------------------------------- | --------- | ---------- |
| **Adult Occupant Protection**       | 60%       | 23.0/38    |
| **Child Occupant Protection**       | 80%       | 39.4/49    |
| **Vulnerable Road User Protection** | 49%       | 23.9/48    |
| **Safety Assist**                   | 51%       | 6.7/13     |

## **ECO Rating**

No Green NCAP or official rating is available. Official combined fuel consumption is **9.9L/100km**. Real-world figure: \~**11.2L/100km**.

---

## **Reliability Rating**

No new recalls for the 2025 Wrangler, but older bulletins exist. Jeep covers it with a **5-year/100,000km** warranty. 

Some owners note pedal/footwell complaints and high wind noise. Overall, the brand’s reliability track record is mixed, but many Wrangler die-hards love them for their pure off-road ability.

---

## **Cost of Ownership**

Roadside assistance is available with each scheduled service. Intervals are **12 months or 12,000km**. 

Over five years, **capped-price servicing** totals **$1995** ($399 average). 

Not especially cheap given the Wrangler’s limited on-road refinement, but on par for a serious 4×4 with specialized hardware.

## **Conclusion**

The **2025 Jeep Wrangler** is unapologetically off-road focused, proudly wearing its old-school credentials. A new turbo-four brings more torque and slightly better fuel economy, but the two-door Rubicon remains expensive, relatively noisy, and compromised on-road. 

It’s a pure delight for hardcore adventurers who truly want maximum capability in a short-wheelbase package, though for daily driving there are more refined, less punishing 4x4s at this price. Wrangler fans likely won’t mind, but casual buyers may balk at the trade-offs.
