2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Review

7.5 / 10

The Jeep Wrangler is an iconic brand and has a legion of committed fans for good reasons. It's a high-riding brute with a lot of character and off-road ability. So, when Jeep decided to round it off and make it more comfortable and usable to live with, as part of this 2024 update, our interest brewed big time and we took the earliest possible flight to Chandigarh to drive the new Wrangler.

As I said, Jeep has tried to modernise the Wrangler by adding more sound deadening to the cabin, Gorilla Glass windshield which is tougher than before, ADAS capability, much more user-friendly infotainment system, and features such as electric seats and a premium audio system. Time to find out whether this notably improved 2024 model stays true to the Wrangler formula and how.

With its slab-sided design and handy controls, the Wrangler’s cabin has always been utilitarian and straightforward. For the 2024 update, Jeep changed the entire top half of the dash to integrate the bigger 12.3-inch infotainment system, which is far more user-friendly than the one on the 2023 Wrangler. The UI looks properly modern, the menus are easier to navigate, and the touchscreen is noticeably quicker to respond as well. The Wrangler now comes with extra sound deadening and as a result, Jeep is claiming a 5dB reduction in noise. I would like to add that we didn’t get a chance to drive the Wrangler at highway speeds to attest to the claim although first impressions are solid. The 2024 Wrangler’s cabin feels like a nicer place to be in and you also get more tech for added convenience.

The front seats, for instance, are electrically adjustable and come with fully sealed controls to stop water ingress when off-roading. The Wrangler also gets a high-resolution camera at the front, which turned out to be of immense help during our off-road drive through narrow trails and extreme elevations. The improved feature list includes six airbags, 552W Alpine audio system, heated seats and steering wheel, and ADAS functionality with collision warning, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control.Although the cabin is fairly roomy and if you take the roof off, the feeling of space is incredible,
