How much does the 2014 Jeep Wrangler cost?

Prices have softened 7.75% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,034 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 4.6/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise its ruggedness, power, and fun, capable driving experience, especially when you want something that feels at home off-road. The overview also makes clear that this is a vehicle for buyers who value adventure and capability above everyday comfort, and the user feedback echoes that tradeoff with notes about weaker gas mileage and less-refined daily manners.

With 31.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have enough market choice to shop selectively without rushing.

Is the 2014 Jeep Wrangler reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a vehicle that owners find rugged, capable, and fun to live with, and the reliability-related comments emphasize its dependable, trouble-free character for the kind of use it was built for. The expert review also notes that customer complaints have dwindled since Jeep’s reboot, which supports the idea that this model year is more settled than older versions.

The ownership tradeoff is that used buyers should still pay close attention to maintenance history and how hard the Jeep was used, since off-road life can accelerate wear in ways a casual inspection may miss.

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 of the body, undercarriage, and any signs of hard off-road use. Pay close attention to wear that could point to abuse, poor repairs, or neglected maintenance, since condition matters a lot more here than on a typical commuter SUV.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Wrangler comes as a 2-door or 4-door, and the more capable versions add features like the Rubicon’s off-road hardware, while the standard models are much more basic. If you want the best balance of capability and value, the Rubicon is the standout choice.
• Powertrain: It 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 well suited to the Wrangler’s mission, and the review notes 18 mpg in combined driving.
• 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 Uconnect system with Bluetooth connectivity, a 6.5-inch color touchscreen, and navigation. The Wrangler keeps the tech list relatively simple, which fits its purpose.
• Fuel efficiency: The Wrangler is rated at 18 mpg in combined driving, and a loaded Unlimited returned 17.1 mpg during testing.

Which 2014 Jeep Wrangler trim should I buy?

The 2014 Jeep Wrangler is offered in 4 trim levels: Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, and Rubicon X.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the most affordable way into the Wrangler, and it gives you the core Jeep formula without extra frills. It suits you best if you want the lowest entry price and plan to build from there.
• Sahara: This trim adds a more polished feel than the Sport while staying true to the Wrangler’s rugged character. It’s a good fit if you want a more comfortable daily experience without losing the Jeep identity.
• Rubicon: This is the best-value trim if you care most about off-road ability, because it adds the serious hardware that makes the Wrangler shine on difficult terrain.
• Rubicon X: This is the most specialized choice, adding even more off-road-focused equipment and a more heavily equipped feel. It makes sense if you want the most capability and are willing to pay for it.

Front-seat side-impact airbags are optional, so check the equipment list carefully on any used example.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,034 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.75% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $15,117, 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 $15,117 sits slightly below last year's $16,387.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become a little more buyer-friendly, which can work against short-term resale gains if you buy at the wrong price. On the other hand, the Wrangler’s strong identity and loyal following help support demand, especially for well-kept examples with desirable equipment.

If you maintain yours carefully and keep the history clean, you should have a better shot at holding value than you would with a more ordinary SUV.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Jeep Wrangler safe?

The Wrangler could benefit from improvement in crash testing, with a Good rating in the moderate overlap frontal-impact test, a Marginal rating for 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, 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 that the Wrangler’s crash performance is weaker than many shoppers will expect, so you should weigh its safety record carefully if you plan to use it as a family vehicle.

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:

• 31.5% 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 7.75% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for its surprisingly affordable price and uncompromised off-road focus.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $16,006, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $15,117 average.
• It adds an upgraded sound system and fresh editions.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2014 is the stronger buy because prices are softer and inventory is broad. If you’re willing to spend more for a slightly fresher setup, the 2015 is worth a look, but the 2014 remains the smarter pick for price-conscious shoppers who want the classic Wrangler formula.

How does the 2014 Jeep Wrangler compare to the 2014 Toyota 4Runner?

Our experts score the 2014 Jeep Wrangler 7/10 and the 2014 Toyota 4Runner 8.2/10. The Wrangler is the more affordable and more specialized off-road choice, while the 4Runner brings a higher expert score and a more expensive used-market profile. You’ll also find far more Wrangler listings, which gives you more room to shop for the right condition and price.
