2023 Jeep Wrangler Review | Open Air SUV
There’s much that’s new on the 2023 Jeep Wrangler. This open air SUV keeps piling on trail tech, but is it right for you? After all, it needs to be comfortable enough for everyday use.
This review will take you from the extremely affordable 2 Door to the 4 Door Rubicon 392. If you are shopping for an off-road capable SUV, you’ll get insight into the styles, specs, and features of this well-known trail rider.
However, we’ll also address color schemes, amenities, dash tech, and other features that are essential to your daily comforts. Keep scrolling to find out more.
Wrangler Rubicon and Rubicon 392
As always the Wrangler Rubicon is a master off-roader. The equipment list includes the Rock-Trac 4:1 low-range 4WD, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and an electronic sway bar disconnect.
Off-Road Plus alters throttle response and shift points. It relaxes traction controls to match trail needs. Steering and braking can be regulated like slow-speed cruise control, using the Rubicon’s Selec-Speed function.
Like the Wrangler 4xe, the Rubicon 392 can claim 470 lb-ft of torque, but the horsepower rate is 470. With the Selec-Trac 4x4 system, this Wrangler has plenty of low-gear capability. It’s fast, too. This big off-roader can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Quarter-mile time is 13 seconds.
With the Reconn Package, models can ford more than two feet of water due to the Hydro-Guide air intake. This tri-level ducting system allows the air that the engine needs while siphoning off any water. The system works at speeds up to 5 mph and water up to 33.6 inches.
Standard Engine Choices
Praised for its wide band of power delivery, the proven Pentastar V6 helped the Wrangler earn top awards for trail capability. The output is 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Wranglers come with a six-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Balancing power with efficiency, the next two engines are just as potent. A turbo inline four generates 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. It looks like this will be the last year for a Wrangler with the 260-horsepower EcoDiesel engine. This fuel saver kicks out a whopping 442 pound-feet of torque.
Take some time for a test drive of the Wrangler 2-door or 4-door. It is guaranteed to add some excitement to your week.
Wrangler Appeal and Awards
With its 2-door style and open air capability, the Wrangler is a favorite with everyone from budget buyers to the most sophisticated adventure drivers. The 4-door style is a favorite with families. It always has a good resale value, appealing to those who want their automotive purchase to be a good long term investment in every way.
Fourwheelers SUV of the Year was dominated by Jeep. First place went to the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. Second place went to the Wrangler 4xe. The electric Wrangler scored with GearJunkie Adventure Vehicle and Hybrid Technology Solution of the Year.
The 2022 AutoTrader List of 10 Best Cars for Dog Lovers included the Wrangler. This is no big surprise since adventure lovers and dog owners are often the same people. However, it is also because the Wrangler is so easy to clean with its wash-out floor.
The New England press named it a top winter vehicle. This is no surprise given that every Wrangler has exceptional ground clearance and standard four-wheel drive.
Exterior Colors and Open Air Capability
The Wrangler continues to offer a unique open air ride. Although the look is traditional, every element continues to be upgraded to make things easy. You can flip down the windshield and take off the doors. A new 2023 option, Corning Gorilla Glass adds an extra-tough windshield that is scratch resistant.
Roofs are available in regular soft top, premium soft top and hardtop varieties. Only Wrangler has the Sky One-Touch Power Top. This allows for an open air ride without removing the hardtop. You won’t find this many choices on the Ford Bronco.
Skid plates protect the transmission and fuel tank. The short overhangs allow both 2-door and 4-door models to claim a very tight turning radius and excellent approach/departure angles.
There are new exterior colors, including a blueish-silver Earl and a purple-ish Reign. You can still get fun choices like High Velocity yellow, Silver Zynith, Firecracker Red or Sarge Green. Sting Gray and Granite Crystal Metallic clear-coats are popular choices.
Trim Levels and Specifications
This Jeep has a reputation for trims with truly different looks and capabilities. This year is no different with the Wrangler Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S and Rubicon. The Wrangler Unlimited adds more choices, including the Willys, Sahara, Sport RHD, High Altitude and Rubicon 392.
Rising from 35.7 inches to 38.3 inches, there’s more legroom in the 4-door models. The smaller Wrangler has a 12.9 cu ft cargo hold that expands to 31.7 cubic feet. The Wrangler 4-door has 31.7 cu ft. in the cargo hold and folding the seats expands that to 72.4 cu ft.
Dash technology includes a 7-inch or 8.4-inch touch screen. This system provides modern connectivity tools including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You can also enjoy integrated navigation, satellite radio connectivity, and a WiFi hotspot.
There are more safety features than ever. Rear park assist is the next level after the Parkview camera. Jeep’s forward-facing camera system can assist with parking and make off-roading safer.
Active braking can respond to the forward collision warning. Radar-based sensors help drivers know when something is in their blind spot. Adaptive cruise control is an intelligent feature with the ability to alter speed to match traffic conditions.
