The 2025 Jeep Wrangler reintroduces what many off-road enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting: the V-6 engine paired with an automatic transmission. Previously unavailable, Jeep had removed this option, leaving enthusiasts with only the stick shift.
In response to strong demand, Jeep has brought back the eight-speed automatic option for the V-6 Wrangler. Priced as a $4,500 add-on, this decision reflects customer preferences and, according to Jeep's North America VP, Bob Broderdorf, is a direct reaction to passionate feedback.
- Standard Offerings: The 2025 Wrangler comes standard with a Pentastar V-6 and a six-speed manual.
- Base Pricing: Starts at $33,990 for the two-door model and $38,590 for the four-door.
- Alternative Choices: Upgrading to the 270-hp 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder (available only with an automatic) is a $2,500 increase over the manual V-6.
- Special Variants: The plug-in-hybrid Wrangler 4xe and the 470-hp V-8 Wrangler Rubicon 392 are both available exclusively with an automatic transmission.
In summary, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler marks the much-anticipated return of the V-6 automatic option, meeting the demands of Jeep enthusiasts. This offers drivers more flexibility in selecting their ideal driving experience.
