Jeep India has revealed details on the India-spec Wrangler facelift ahead of its April 22, 2024 launch. The upgraded iteration of this legendary 4×4 SUV will flaunt slight styling changes and a few additional features over the current model. However, it won’t receive any powertrain changes in India.
2024 Jeep Wrangler – Exterior Design Changes
The refreshed Wrangler features a redesigned all-black grille, retaining its iconic seven-slat design but with a sleeker appearance than the previous model. The SUV will also receive new alloys, probably 17 inches for the Rubicon and 18 inches for the Unlimited variant. It will also come fitted with a Gorilla glass windshield as standard.
Globally, Jeep offers the Wrangler with multiple roof options, including a soft top, a body-coloured hardtop, a black hardtop, and a combination of hard and soft tops. However, its India-spec version is anticipated to be offered in just hardtop and softtop choices.

2024 Jeep Wrangler – Interior and Features
Inside, the revised Wrangler SUV features a subtly redesigned dashboard layout, now featuring a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Notably, the AC vents have been relocated below the screen. Jeep has also introduced 12-way power-adjustable front seats and wireless connectivity for Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
The safety suite on the 2024 Wrangler facelift will include six airbags, electronic stability control, hill start assist, hill descent control, electronic roll mitigation, tyre pressure monitoring and rear parking sensors with camera.
Powertrain
The facelifted Wrangler will be equipped with the same 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine as the ongoing model, which produces 270PS and 400Nm. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox and comes standard with Jeep’s Selec-Trac full-time 4WD system.
Globally, Jeep also offers the Wrangler with a hybrid powertrain. However, it is unlikely to make its way to the Indian market.
