Why does resident off-road guy and Director of Vehicle Testing Dan Edmunds think the new 2018 Jeep Wrangler is a better Jeep? Follow him along as he not only does a walk-around highlighting all its new off-road-friendly features but actually tests out the Rubicon, from the dusty, rocky desert trails of Arizona to the muddy, slick wilds of New Zealand.

Q: How much is the 2018 Jeep Wrangler?

A: A two-door 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sport V6 with a manual transmission, vinyl top and roll-up windows goes for $26,995. The four-door 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sahara (the Sahara is now sold only in four-door JLU configuration) starts at $37,345. On the top end of the scale, the base price of a four-door 2018 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited V6 with a manual transmission will start at $40,495. Tack another $1,195 onto all of these prices to cover the obligatory destination charge.



Q: When does the 2018 Jeep Wrangler go on sale?

A: Some examples might show up soon near Toledo, Ohio, the site of Jeep's main production facility, while other dealerships across the country should be getting them in January and February.



Q: What are the 2018 Jeep Wrangler models?

A: There will be two, distinctly different 2018 Jeep Wranglers at your Jeep dealer for the next several months, so make sure you buy the right one. The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK is the familiar, previous-generation Wrangler known to us since 2007. The all-new model, however, will be sold as the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, and it will doubtlessly be known by Jeep enthusiasts as the Wrangler JL to acknowledge its new-generation configuration.
