What Jeep Wrangler do most buyers choose?

Higher-volume years usually give you more choices on trim, color, and equipment, which makes it easier to find the right Wrangler at the right price. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so inventory stays active.

What is the Jeep Wrangler's resale value?

Most model years in this set are down year over year, which creates better opportunities for used buyers. The largest drops are concentrated in the newer model years, while the older years show smaller declines. That pattern suggests recent Wranglers have softened more quickly than earlier ones.

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 V6 pairs with a six-speed manual while most models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
• 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 the Trails Offroad app adds trail maps through the infotainment screen.

• Starting price: 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.
