With room for five adult passengers, the Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited four-door features class-leading off-road capability and everyday practicality.

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited adds a new and improved Sunrider® soft top, making it even easier to remove the top for that open-air experience on- or off-road.

The Sunrider soft top is redesigned with a new cable-top system that allows customers to easily open and close the top within minutes. The improved soft top features a simplified removal system that eliminates the need to un-tuck and tuck the side rails when opening and closing the top.

In addition to the Sunrider soft top, which includes a “sun roof” and full top-down option, Jeep’s Freedom Top® three-piece modular hard top also is offered. This system features three panels that provide even more options for open-air driving.

In major European markets, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers fog lamps, larger sliding sun visors with mirrors, and compass and outside temperature display.

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon model offers an Active Sway Bar System. The electronic-disconnecting front stabilizer bar delivers additional wheel travel for challenging terrain.

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is powered by a 3.8-liter V-6 petrol engine producing 151 kW (202 hp DIN) and 321 N•m (237 lb.-ft.) of torque, backed by a six-speed manual gearbox or an available four-speed automatic transmission.
An optional 2.8-liter Common-rail Diesel (CRD) turbo diesel generates 130 kW (177 hp DIN) and 410 N•m (302 lb.-ft.) of torque and comes with the standard NSG370 six-speed manual gearbox.

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport and Sahara models are equipped with Command-Trac® NV241 part-time, two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. An optional Trac-Lok® limited-slip rear differential provides extra torque and grip during slippery, low-traction situations such as driving over sand, gravel, snow or ice.

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon model is equipped with an Off-Road Rock-Trac® NV241 two-speed transfer case, as well as electric front- and rear-axle lockers, an electronic sway-bar disconnect and 32-inch off-road tires.

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara and Rubicon models now offer monotone leather seating.
