What Jeep Wrangler do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of availability, familiar Wrangler character, and pricing that still leaves room for shoppers to compare trims and equipment. More listings also usually mean more chances to find the right color, mileage, and condition.

What is the Jeep Wrangler's resale value?

The Wrangler’s prices are down across every model year shown, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer years, while older examples are also moving lower but by smaller amounts. That pattern gives you more room to find value across the lineup.

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.
