How much does the 2014 Jeep Wrangler cost?

Prices have softened 6.67% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,092 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory 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 versatile driving experience. The review summary also points to strong fun factor and power, which fits a vehicle built around adventure rather than commuting comfort.

That lines up with the overview: you’re looking at a Wrangler that prioritizes capability and character over everyday refinement. If you want a vehicle that feels distinctive and purpose-built, that’s a major part of the appeal.

29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is still some 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 a vehicle that many drivers find dependable in the ways that matter to them: it is rugged, capable, and built for adventure use. That same feedback also emphasizes that it can be counted on for off-road fun and a versatile driving experience.

The expert evaluation reinforces that theme by describing the Wrangler as well suited to its task and by noting that it is built to handle demanding terrain. The ownership-cost discussion also says customer complaints have dwindled since Jeep’s reboot, which supports the idea that long-term ownership concerns are more about the Wrangler’s compromises than outright durability.

If you buy used, your biggest risk is not whether it can do Wrangler things, but whether the previous owner used it hard enough to leave behind wear you’ll need to address.

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

At 62.7% 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 hands-on inspection, especially if the Wrangler has been used off road. Pay close attention to body condition, signs of hard use, and anything that suggests the vehicle has been modified or abused. Because this model is built around capability, condition matters as much as mileage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard Wrangler lineup includes 2-door and 4-door body styles, and the base setup is intentionally sparse. You get the core Wrangler formula, but the more expensive versions add the equipment that makes daily life easier and off-road use more serious.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, plus either a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic. The engine is rated at 18 mpg in combined driving, and the setup is tuned for capability rather than efficiency.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes dual front airbags, antilock brakes with brake assist, hill-start assist, 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, and navigation. The Wrangler also offers 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 example 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, Sahara, Rubicon, Rubicon X.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Wrangler experience at the lowest price. It suits you if you want the basic formula and plan to build from there, but it is the least equipped choice.
• Sahara: This is the better fit if you want a more polished, better-equipped Wrangler for mixed use. It adds more comfort and convenience than the Sport, making it the best-value choice for many buyers who still want the Wrangler identity without going all-in on trail hardware.
• Rubicon: This is the trim to choose if off-road capability is your priority. It adds the serious mechanical hardware that makes the Wrangler especially effective on difficult terrain.
• Rubicon X: This is the most specialized choice, adding even more trail-focused equipment and a more aggressive setup than the standard Rubicon. It makes sense if you want the most capable and most heavily equipped Wrangler in the lineup.

The safety package includes standard stability and traction features, while front-seat side-impact airbags remain optional.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,092 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.67% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $15,605, 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 $15,605 sits slightly below last year's $16,721.

That price movement suggests the Wrangler has become more affordable for buyers, which can narrow the upside for a future seller if the market keeps easing. On the other hand, the model’s strong identity and steady demand help support used values better than many vehicles in its class.

Because the Wrangler attracts buyers who specifically want its capability and character, well-kept examples should remain easier to move than ordinary SUVs. Condition, trim, and history will matter a lot when you eventually resell.

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 2014 Jeep 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.

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, 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 crash-test results are the main caution here, especially the poor side-impact performance on the 2-door model. If safety is a top priority, you should pay close attention to trim, equipment, and how the vehicle will actually be used.

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:

• 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.67% 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 $16,550, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $15,605 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 smarter buy. If you’re willing to spend more for a slightly fresher setup and an upgraded sound system, the 2015 is the better secondary path.
