Refreshed 2024 Wrangler JL on the way?

Someone claiming to be a salesman is claiming that a Jeep Wrangler refresh is coming soon.  The basic design is the same, but the 2024 Wrangler is rumored to offer power seats, ventilated seats, new gauge cluster and UConnect with a larger 10-inch touch-screen. (2024 Jeeps are not shown below.) The 392 is to continue, with improvements.

High Tide Jeep Wranglers

As one may expect with all this, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will also join the list. Surprisingly, a new digital instrument cluster is expected—hopefully well waterproofed.

Jeep has already discussed a forthcoming electric Wrangler, aside from the forthcoming Jeep Recon.

This story is unconfirmed; a Jeep rep said merely that they do not comment on future product. Note—this story has now been confirmed and extended.

  1. Highly doubt the 392 will continue on in the Jeep, I do expect a high output variant of the 3.0L Hurricane to make a debut in this vehicle as well as potentially a hybrid variant of the 3.0L Hurricane. I’d venture to say the 4xE will probably the standard version of the Wrangler and the Gladiator from here on out while the Hurricane-6 variants will be the optional & special edition powertrains. Honestly I think anything on this and the STLA large platform will have the 2.0L 4XE hybrid as the base powertrain if it’s not an EV. Honestly the more I look at it, we may even see the 2.0L Hurricane-4 being the base engine for the STLA cars. With 268hp and 295lb-ft of torque, it puts out more torque than the 3.6L Pentastar and it isn’t too far off the 292hp of the 3.6L Pentastar so in vehicles that are supposed to be a bit lighter than the current Charger and Challenger the 2.0L might even perform a little bit better. If not, the 1.3L Hybrid setup with 288hp and 383tq will definitely out perform the 3.6L Pentastar V6 in the STLA Large platform and the Wrangler/Gladiator. As usual, it all comes down to a bit of pipe dreaming and wishful thinking but the point is that Stellantis has finally come up with ways to produce smaller displacement “EPA friendly” engines that can offer similar performance to the V8 engines we are accustomed to. I doubt we will ever see another “392” Jeep in the future, or any Hemi vehicle for that matter. However, with what the brand is doing, that kind of performance will live on.

  2. Better question on any refresh is have they fixed the steering issues that both the JL & JT have been exhibiting since launch? From all reports, the switch from an aluminum to a steel steering box didn’t solve it. I’d also like to see them go back to the better quality Dana axles rather than the “cost engineered” ones on the current JLs.
