Design Changes And Technology
Inside the 2024 Wrangler, customers will find more comfort and safety features. There are available 12-way power-adjustable front seats, a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, and curtain airbags for both rows of seats. The design of the Wrangler retains its rugged and characteristic style. But the Jeep is more refined now, with more tech and comfort available. There are several available wheel options for all tastes, and the iconic seven-slot grille has been redesigned for a more modern look, drawing inspiration from the Jeep Rubicon 20th Anniversary Edition.
This updated look is also functional, as it provides more airflow to the engine. The class-exclusive one-touch power top is also available, making it easy to expose the passengers to nature or adapt to the changing weather according to the customer's preferences. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler also offers a sound-dampening technology that keeps the cabin quieter while traveling through rough off-road terrain. The Wrangler can be equipped with two integrated GPS and/or camera dash mounts so that you can easily track your location and record the action.
The UCONNECT 12.3-inch standard touchscreen is the largest in its class. To make things even better, Jeep has partnered with Trails Offroad to have access to off-road trails and guides for all skill levels. The goal is to facilitate off-road trip planning and give the customer access to more than 200 off-road destinations, some of which have the Jeep Badge of Honor. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard, and there is an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot that can connect up to eight devices within a 50-foot radius of the vehicle.
Rider aids such as forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, automatic high-beam headlamps, and rear-park assist system are also available.

Keeping The Legacy Of The Iconic Jeep Wrangler Alive
The Jeep Brand's history with America dates back several decades, all the way to 1941, when the first Jeep was made for the U.S. Army to help in the Second World War efforts. Over the years, the brand has passed through several different owners, and today it is part of Stellantis North America, and its rich history is still embedded in American culture. The Brand can be credited as influencing the American automotive industry from its military origins, to the rugged, reliable, and versatile 4x4s offered to the American public in the post-war period.
Jeep always strived to be at the forefront of four-by-four, off-road capable systems, providing its customers with outstanding off-road capabilities and performance. To this day, the brand remains true to its core values, producing vehicles filled with personality and a passion for adventure. More than just a brand, Jeep is a symbol of the American way of life. Stellantis North America claims ordering for the 2024 lineup is now open and vehicles have started to arrive in U.S. dealerships. The Jeep experience is set to go to new heights in 2024.
