The Jeep Wrangler is a popular off-road vehicle that has been in production since 1986. From 2006 to 2023, the Wrangler has undergone several changes and updates. Here is a detailed article about Jeep Wrangler models from 2006 to 2023.
In 2006, Jeep introduced the JK generation of the Wrangler, which was available with either two or four doors. The 2007 model was launched in 2006 after a deep and focused effort from DaimlerChrysler that asked the owners what they wanted from the Wrangler range. It was a car built from scratch, but the designers kept in mind the basic design principles with rounded headlights and the body-on-frame construction ².
In 2018, Jeep launched the fourth generation of the Wrangler, available with either two or four doors and, most importantly, with the Rubicon version meant for serious off-roading. Jeep had enough jokes about its hard-core product, the Wrangler, and took a decisive step when making the Rubicon version. Thus, it offered an off-road vehicle that could tackle any kind of rough terrain right from the showroom’s floor ².
In 2021, Jeep introduced the Wrangler 4xe (spelled four-by-e), which promised actual off-road performance and high fuel efficiency. While it wasn’t the first hybrid 4×4 vehicle on the market, Jeep managed to implement a plug-in hybrid system for the well-known off-road vehicle while keeping its legendary off-road attributes ².
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler comes in 14 configurations costing $31,195 to $82,495. It is available as a four- or five-seat convertible SUV with four-wheel drive standard. The drivetrain options include gas, diesel or plug-in hybrid. The top, doors and windshield are removable and it is available in two- and four-door versions ¹. This year also saw the introduction of the all-new Freedom Edition trim for military enthusiasts. This particular model sported a military-themed exterior, a steel front bumper, and rock rails on either side ³.
