Performance and Capability
The Jeep Wrangler can be outfitted with one of two engine options. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 comes standard and produces 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. If you’re in search of increased efficiency, the 2.0-liter Turbo engine may be worth exploring with its 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The standard six-speed manual transmission will give you the traditional Jeep experience while an eight-speed automatic can ensure consistent smooth shifting.
When it comes to a capable vehicle, competing with the new Wrangler is no easy task. That’s because every Jeep Wrangler model comes boasting the Trail Rated badge. To become Trail Rated a vehicle must pass five categories:
- Traction
- Water Fording
- Maneuverability
- Articulation
- Ground Clearance
With these five things in mind, the Wrangler is truly a go-anywhere vehicle. Especially when you take into account that three four-wheel-drive systems are available to the 2019 Wrangler.
Safety and Tech
With Jeep, your safety comes first and that’s reflected in the variety of active safety features available to this model. When you outfit your Jeep with the Advanced Safety Group, you’ll benefit from safety features including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Warning
- Active Braking
And that’s just to name a few. You can also equip the Wrangler with ParkSense Rear Park Assist, a system that can aid with parallel and perpendicular parking. Available Blind Spot Monitors can also keep an extra set of eyes on the road for you. Additionally, if you’re looking to take advantage of the Wrangler’s towing capacity, opt for Trailer Sway Control to help keep control of your trailer.
The 2019 Wrangler doesn’t come short with modern tech either. Inside, opt for the available Uconnect 4C NAV with 8.4-inch touchscreen. This system allows for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, while also offering effective navigation. You can also outfit your Wrangler with a 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot. Connect up to eight devices with this system, and stay up-to-date while you’re behind the wheel of your Jeep. You can also take advantage of an available premium audio system from Alpine with nine speakers and a rear subwoofer. The available 7.0-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster will help you ensure that your Jeep is functioning properly.
