Which Jeep Wrangler trim should I buy?

The 2026 Jeep Wrangler offers these trims:

• Sport S: This trim adds adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, making it the best-value choice for buyers who want more everyday safety tech.
• Willys: This version adds a more distinctive appearance and sits in the middle of the lineup for shoppers who want extra character.
• Sahara: This trim brings a more upscale feel and is available in both two-door and four-door configurations.
• Rubicon: This is the off-road-focused trim, and it is available in both two-door and four-door configurations.
• Rubicon X: This trim adds blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, and high-beam assist, making it the most fully equipped choice in the lineup.

What Jeep Wrangler do most buyers choose?

The Jeep Wrangler years with the most listings are 2021, 2022, and 2020.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a strong mix of availability, pricing, and familiar Wrangler capability. More listings also make it easier to compare trims, colors, and equipment before you buy.

What is the Jeep Wrangler's resale value?

Most Wrangler model years are down year over year, and several recent years show double-digit declines. That creates a favorable setup for used buyers, especially if you want a newer Wrangler at a lower price than it commanded a year ago. The pattern also suggests that recent inventory has softened across much of the lineup rather than just in one isolated year.

The 2023, 2015, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Jeep Wrangler safe?

• 2026: 3/10
• 2025: 4/10
• 2024: 5/10
• 2023: 6/10
• 2022: 2/10

• 2014: 3/10

Jeep includes little beyond federally mandated safety features as standard equipment, so pretty much any advanced safety tech comes at a price.

For the safest used buy, the 2020 model posts the highest confirmed score of 8/10.

Should I buy a used Jeep Wrangler now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −15.12% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −12.78%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2021 model has the most listings at a current average price of $26,681. The Jeep Wrangler offers iconic styling and a rugged, adventurous character that has made it a long-running favorite.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2026 Jeep Wrangler has a powertrain for everyone, offering the stalwart Pentastar 3.6-liter V6, a more efficient 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo, and a powerful 6.4-liter Hemi V8, and the turbocharged four-cylinder returns an EPA combined rating of 21 mpg in both the two- and four-door body styles.
• Tech: A 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard, backed by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and a two-year free trial of the Trails Offroad app is included.
• Safety: Adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking become standard on the Sport S trim, while blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, and high-beam assist become standard at the Rubicon X trim level.
• Starting price: At the time of writing, the base two-door Sport model was priced at $34,227 without options.

If you're buying used today, the 2021 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
