Not Horsing Around - 2024 Jeep Wrangler
It isn’t uncommon for Jeep to update the Wrangler in the middle of a model run.
The JK, which came out in the 2007 model year, saw a 2011/12 update that updated the interior as well as replaced the 3.8L V-6 with the Pentastar 3.6L. Since Jeep likes to run with a version of the Wrangler for a decade or more, it only makes sense to update things a little to keep the model appealing.
Tales from SEMA: Jeep Gladiator JTe by Quadratec
The largest retailer of Jeep aftermarket parts, Quadratec, sponsored a customized Wrangler with a stretched Gladiator bed, standard cab, and modified Gladiator roof that even maintains the Freedom Panels. This is yet another example of how good a standard cab Gladiator could look and function.
Jeep Announces 30th Anniversary Grand Cherokee and Willys 4xe
Jeep has a 2030 sales goal of 50% zero emissions sales in the US, and 100% in Europe. To get to there, witness the announcements from last week’s ‘4xe Day’ where they showed an all electric Wagoneer (final name to be determined), a Recon sibling to the Wrangler, and a compact crossover. Another all-electric Jeep is still something we anticipate but is all but official (since Jeep says they will have 4 all-electric offerings by 2025). We expect an electric Wrangler.
Jeep Electrification Plans
Jeep named September 8th ‘4xe Day’ and dropped a video previewing the brand’s electrification plan.
Included in their plan is an announcement to have electrified offerings across their portfolio by the end of 2025. This suggests a 4xe, plug-in hybrid, version of each model. In that same time, Jeep will be offering 4 all-electric models as well. Three were announced in today’s video.
