One of the nice aspects of shopping for a Jeep is that the model you’re interested in will have different trim options. This is true for the Jeep Wrangler, one of the most rugged, durable SUVs you can drive in Kinston, NC, and anywhere else. The Jeep Wrangler comes in several trims, each with different features and capabilities to suit all types of driving habits and needs.
Of course, it may also be stressful and overwhelming to have so many choices. Perhaps you aren’t sure which Wrangler trim is right for you. As you look closely at the differences between each model, you can see which one makes the most sense for you. The team at Doug Henry CDJR in Kinston, NC, can also help you get into a Wrangler so that you can feel good about driving.
In the Jeep Wrangler family, the Sport is the entry-level trim. The Sport trim has a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces a capable 285 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. If you need more power, go with the optional 2.0-liter inline 4 turbo engine that generates 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. There are superb features on the Sport, such as the 18-inch wheels and soft top. The standard backup camera and traction control are among the helpful safety features that make your job easier at the wheel.
The Sport S has many of the same features as the Sport trim. One notable option available on this trim is the hybrid plug-in powertrain. This engine uses a gas-powered engine and electric motor to provide a hefty 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. You’ll also like the keyless entry system, power door locks and windows, and power heated mirrors. The Sport S protects you well with its safety features, including forward-collision warning, advanced braking system, and adaptive cruise control.
The Willys trim has a unique design and style — a look that brings you back to the 1950s and 1960s. This vintage-looking Wrangler also comes with a hybrid powertrain that has the same output as the Sport S hybrid engine: 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
It offers excellent off-road features, such as a rear-locking differential, steel rock sliders, and off-road driving. With the Willys trim, you can also purchase the Xtreme 35 Package. This package gives your Jeep Wrangler 35-inch tires, 4.56 differential gears, a 1.5-inch lift, and a reinforced tailgate. A regular Willys comes standard with 33-inch wheels.
For avid off-road enthusiasts, the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is the trim to choose from. The Rubicon comes with a RockTrac 4:1 part-time transfer case, steel rock sliders, front and rear-locking differentials, and the Xtreme 35 Package. You’ll also have a towing package, water-resistant cloth upholstery, and heavy-duty steel bumpers.
While the Rubicon is the top off-road model, the Sahara is arguably the Wrangler’s most luxurious model. The interior is comfortable and complete with exquisite materials and gorgeous trim. It has features to make every ride pleasant, such as a remote start system, a heated leather steering wheel, leather-trimmed heated seats, and dual-zone climate control, among others. A gas-powered engine is the standard offering, but you can go with a hybrid engine if you prefer.
The High Altitude trim is similar to the Sahara in its interior design and comforts. But it has some additional safety features that you’ll like. These include rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-path detection.
While most Wrangler trims have been around for a while, the Rubicon X is an all-new option for 2024. It builds on the Rubicon and offers additional features, including a nine-speaker premium audio system and 12-way power-adjustable leather seats. You will enjoy the efficient hybrid engine, which puts out 470 pound-feet of torque. The Rubicon X comes with nice-looking painted body-colored fender flares and a hard top.
As for performance, the Rubicon 392 stands at the top. With its 6.4-liter V8 engine, you won’t have any trouble accelerating to freeway speed or conquering difficult terrain in Kinston, NC, or anywhere else. There’s a user-friendly 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen where you can control your media options. The Rubicon 392 also comes standard with steel bumpers for added durability.
