The 2025 Jeep Wrangler maintains its manual gearbox and V-6 engine, but this year they are exclusively paired together.
In 2025, the 3.6-liter V-6 engine, delivering 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, is available solely with the 6-speed manual transmission. Buyers still have the option of the 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine, which generates 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque; however, this engine comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard.

Jeep will also continue to provide the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid, which incorporates two electric motors with the turbo-4 engine; however, this hybrid setup has always been paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission. The 4xe version boosts output to 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, and its 17-kwh battery allows for an EPA-rated electric range of up to 21 miles.
Earlier this year, Jeep confirmed the return of the Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition, extending the life of the 6.4-liter V-8 engine. Initially introduced for the 2024 model year, this special edition was created to mark what was expected to be the conclusion of the V-8 offerings, which generates 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Performance metrics include a 0-60 mph sprint time of 4.5 seconds and a quarter-mile run of approximately 13 seconds.
Production of the Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition was restricted to just 3,700 units for the 2024 model year, comprising 3,300 for the U.S., 300 for Canada, and 100 for the rest of the globe. While Jeep has not disclosed the production numbers for the 2025 models, it has previously indicated that order books would open later this year, with production commencing in the first quarter of 2025.
In addition to these updates, changes for the 2025 Wrangler are relatively minor, as the vehicle underwent a significant update in 2024. Power windows and door locks are now standard across all trim levels, and a new feature in the Jeep app allows owners to pre-condition the climate control before entering the vehicle. A new ’41 paint color takes inspiration from the olive drab typically seen on military Jeeps.
