How much does the 2014 Jeep Wrangler cost?

Prices have softened 6.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,161 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2014 Jeep Wrangler a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Jeep Wrangler earns a 4.62/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise its ruggedness, off-road capability, and fun driving experience. The review summary also points to its power and versatile character, which fits the Wrangler’s adventure-first identity.

That lines up with the overview: you’re looking at a vehicle built for serious off-road use, not a relaxed commute. If you want capability and character over comfort and convenience, the fit is strong.

With 31.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Jeep Wrangler reliable?

Owners rate it 4.62/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to ruggedness and a trouble-free, dependable feel for many drivers, especially those using it in the way it was designed. The expert review also emphasizes that the Wrangler’s appeal comes from its ability to handle demanding terrain and keep delivering that capability over time.

On the ownership side, the cost-effectiveness notes say customer complaints have dwindled since Jeep’s reboot, which supports the case for long-term durability. For used buyers, the main risk is less about whether it can last and more about whether the specific example has been used hard or maintained poorly.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Jeep Wrangler?

At 62.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a close inspection of body condition, underbody wear, and signs of hard off-road use. Because the Wrangler’s appeal is tied so closely to capability, you’ll want to make sure the example you choose hasn’t been abused or modified in ways that hurt reliability or drivability.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard Wrangler lineup includes a short-wheelbase 2-door and a long-wheelbase 4-door, and all versions share the same rugged, open-air formula. Base versions are light on modern conveniences, so you should pay close attention to whether the features you want are included before you buy.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic. The engine is rated at 18 mpg in combined driving.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes dual front airbags, antilock brakes with brake assist, hill-start assist, all-speed traction control with a special 4-Lo setting, stability control with electronic roll mitigation, and trailer sway control. Front-seat side-impact airbags are optional.
• Infotainment: Available tech includes a 6.5-inch color touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, heated front seats, automatic climate control, and a premium audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The Wrangler is rated at 18 mpg in combined driving, and a loaded Unlimited returned 17.1 mpg during a week of driving.

Which 2014 Jeep Wrangler trim should I buy?

The 2014 Jeep Wrangler is offered in 4 trim levels: Sport 2-door, Rubicon X Unlimited, Rubicon, and Rubicon X.

Here's the short version:

• Sport 2-door: This is the least expensive path into the Wrangler, and it gives you the core formula without the extra hardware that pushes prices up. It suits you best if you want the lowest entry cost and plan to keep the build simple.
• Rubicon: This is the best-value trim if you want the Wrangler’s serious off-road hardware without jumping all the way to the most expensive versions. It adds the mechanical equipment that makes the Wrangler especially capable on difficult terrain.
• Rubicon X Unlimited: This is the most heavily equipped version mentioned, with added steel bumpers, larger rock rails, and winch-ready hardware. It makes the most sense if you want the most trail-focused setup and are willing to pay for it.

The safety content notes that front-seat side-impact airbags are optional, so you should verify that feature if it matters to you.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Jeep Wrangler?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting deep discounts everywhere.

• Deal availability: 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,161 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $15,528, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Jeep Wrangler's resale value?

The current average of $15,528 sits slightly below last year's $16,660.

That softer pricing suggests the Wrangler is currently more buyer-friendly than it was a year ago, which can help you if you’re shopping now. For a future seller, it also means there may be less immediate upside unless the vehicle is especially clean, well-equipped, or unusually well cared for.

The Wrangler’s strong identity and steady demand help support long-term value, especially for desirable trims and well-kept examples. If you maintain yours carefully and avoid heavy wear, you should be in a better position when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.62/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Jeep Wrangler safe?

The Wrangler earns a Good rating in the IIHS moderate overlap frontal-impact test, a Marginal rating in small overlap frontal-impact and rear-impact injury prevention, and a Poor rating in the side-impact test. The Wrangler Unlimited 4-door improves to Marginal in side-impact protection.

It earns a 3/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes dual front airbags, antilock brakes with brake assist, hill-start assist, all-speed traction control with a special 4-Lo setting, stability control with electronic roll mitigation, and trailer sway control. Front-seat side-impact airbags are optional.

The main caveat is the Wrangler’s weak crash-test performance, especially in side impact, so safety-conscious buyers should weigh that carefully.

Should I buy a 2014 Jeep Wrangler or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.62/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for its affordable price and uncompromised off-road focus.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $16,521, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $15,528 average.
• It adds an upgraded sound system and fresh editions.

The bottom line: If you want the lower entry price and the classic Wrangler formula, the 2014 is the better buy. If you’re willing to spend more for a slightly updated version with extra appeal, the 2015 is the cleaner upgrade path. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2014 makes the stronger value case.
