In 2018, the Jeep Wrangler saw its first redesign in more than 10 years. There is a bit of an overlap for the 2018 model year, as the old Wrangler was still in production until April 2018. The newly redesigned Wrangler is available in both two- and four-door models and with a variety of trim levels. In addition to a new exterior design, the interior received a number of upgrades and improvements as well. High-end materials, well-organized controls, and upgraded infotainment options are just some of the additions you’ll see on the 2018 Jeep Wrangler.
More Luxurious Interior
The new Jeep Wrangler features upgraded materials and a variety of luxurious upgrades, including heated front seats and steering wheel. The leather-wrapped steering wheel also has controls for convenient access to phone, audio, voice, and more. Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control keeps both the driver and front passenger comfortable at their own desired temperatures.
If you use your Jeep in a cold-weather climate, the addition of heated mirrors is a welcome upgrade. They can help melt frost or ice, which allows for safe driving whether you’re on a snowy adventure or just a frost-filled morning commute.
Better Connectivity
The fourth-generation Uconnect system offers better connectivity and a variety of cool enhancements for 2018. It includes a pinch-to-zoom display, faster startup time, improved responsiveness on the touchscreen, enhanced processing power, and better screen brightness and resolution.
The standard Uconnect system features a 5-inch screen but available upgrades include a 7-inch or 8.4-inch screen. The standard model features Siri, Bluetooth Streaming Audio, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and more. The optional 8.4-inch screen also includes navigation with turn-by-turn directions, Android Audio and Apple CarPlay support, SiriusXM Traffic, SiriusXM Travel Link, and more.
Ready for Adventure
Although there are a lot of luxurious upgrades for 2018, the Jeep Wrangler is still ideal for rugged outdoor adventures. Wrangler’s buttons, knobs, and toggles have undergone testing to ensure maximum function. Rubber surrounding the touchscreen, switches, and start/stop button has been expertly designed to be both durable and ergonomic.
Climbing in and out is easier with grab handles built into the A-pillar and B-pillar. These also offer extra support when off-roading. For 2018, the wash-out interior includes all-new, one-way drain valves on the floor that allow water out. Once you remove the interior carpet, you can use a hose to wash out the interior.
Modern Technology
The 2018 Wrangler JL can be started with a quick push of the button, which is waterproof. It was even tested in a mist chamber for a 24-hour soak test. You’ll find dual USB ports in the console, there is an extra port tucked away in the center armrest, and additional USB ports are available for passengers in the backseat. There is also a 115-volt power outlet so you can power up your electronics while on the road.
