For the third time this year, Jeep Australia has upped the fourth-generation Wrangler large SUV’s pricing.
Specifically, the two-door Wrangler’s entry-level Sport S, mid-range Overland and flagship Rubicon variants are now $1000 more expensive, at $53,750, $63,250 and $65,950 plus on-road costs respectively.
Meanwhile, the four-door Unlimited versions of the large SUV have become even dearer, with the entry-level Night Eagle and mid-range Overland rising $1200, to $62,950 and $67,950 respectively, while the flagship Rubicon has jumped $1500, to $71,450.
Speaking to CarsGuide, a Jeep Australia spokesperson confirmed no changes have been made to the Suzuki Jimny, Ford Bronco and Land Rover Defender rival’s standard specification, with the “usual external factors” rather causing the price changes.
For reference, no matter the variant, the Wrangler is motivated by a 209kW/347Nm 3.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol V6 engine, which is mated to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system.
A 147kW/450Nm 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine option was available in previous model years, but it was discontinued with the large SUV’s MY21 update, which arrived in September 2020.
The two-door Rubicon only went on sale last July, with the ‘Shorty’ following on from the success of the similarly specified limited-edition Rubicon Recon from the previous year.
