2022 Jeep Wrangler price and features: Increased cost for Suzuki Jimny, Ford Bronco and Land Rover Defender rival

The Wrangler has received its third round of price rises in 2021.

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.

Head of Editorial
Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
