First Drive: The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Review
Posted on April 14, 2021
When drivers think of off-road capability, they think of Jeep Wranglers.
What's New
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler is now available in Toronto for drivers who want to feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their face whether driving through downtown or heading for the hills to explore the less-travelled paths.
Interesting Features
2021 introduces several new features to the Jeep Wrangler, including a new 80th Anniversary Edition and two new powertrains. The first is the plug-in hybrid 4xe, which offers a turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor for an astounding 375 horsepower. It can deliver 25 miles of electric-only driving and a 0 to 60 miles per hour acceleration time of 6.0 seconds.
The second new powertrain is the astronomically awesome 470-horsepower V8 in the new Rubicon 392 model. This ultimate Wrangler features all the best off-roading gear Jeep has to offer, as well as 33-inch tires and 0 to 60 mph acceleration of 4.5 seconds.
Design
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler is both retro and modern all at once. 2021 brings about a wider range of colours, styles, textures, and materials to allow drivers to get the customised vehicle they have always wanted. Inside, the stylish cabin stays true to its Wrangler heritage while seamlessly integrating the latest in technology.
Performance
No matter which model or powertrain drivers choose, they are getting a powerful performance. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Rubicon 392 are considered models all on their own, so the standard 2021 Jeep Wrangler is offered with four different powertrain options:
- 3.6-litre Pentastar VVT V6 (285 hp, 260 lb-ft torque, and 907 kg towing)
- 2.0-litre Turbo (270 hp, 295 lb-ft torque, 907 kg towing)
- 3.6-litre VVT V6 with eTorque (285 hp, 260 lb-ft torque, and 907 kg towing)
- 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 (260 hp, 442 lb-ft torque, and 1,588 kg towing) - four-door models only
Infotainment
The Wrangler's technology is dependent upon the model chosen by drivers. However, the 2021 model is the most technologically advanced Wrangler ever. The Uconnect 4 multimedia system pairs with a 7-inch touchscreen to offer features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, SiriusXM radio, Bluetooth, Siri Eyes Free, Wi-Fi Hotspot, and more.
Safety
More than 75 standard and available safety features are featured on the 2021 Jeep Wrangler, including a rear backup camera, rear park assist system, forward-collision warning system, adaptive cruise control, and more.
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler is now available in Toronto. Downsview Chrysler has a vast selection of models to help drivers find whichever model works best for them.
