Whether the road ahead leads to the city or the trails, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler is designed to tackle it with two robust engines. The standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 pairs with either a six-speed manual or an available eight-speed automatic transmission. Available on select trims is the 2.0L turbocharged inline four-cylinder (I4), mated solely to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
