The World of Jeep Wranglers: Which Model Should You Choose?

The Jeep Wrangler’s 2022 eleven-trim lineup may be its most ambitious yet. With a myriad of trims to choose from, you can easily find one to meet your needs. Here is a guide to help you choose the right one.

Body Types

Each Jeep body style has various perks, making any option an optimal choice. The Sport trim is economical, and it boasts a fun driving experience. Key features include six-speed manual transmission, two-door or four-door models, a black Sunrider zipperless soft top, optional removable doors, and black exterior trim. These timeless features hearken to the open-air Jeep CJ7 accessories of the ’70s and ’80s.

The Willys Sport, the next trim in the lineup, offers a few more upgrades and trail-friendly features. Key features include Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential, available all-terrain tires, and a premium tan Sunrider soft top. The Sport S, while very similar to the Willys Sport, provides access to a few high-end feature packages.

Next in the lineup is the beloved Willys. The Willys is equipped with a unique black grille, 17-inch Moab black aluminum wheels, 32-inch mud-terrain tires, and Rubicon rock rails.

The Sport Altitude has four doors, so it’s perfect for bringing your crew along on your off-roading adventures. While showing off the Altitude’s capable off-roading performance, you can brag to your friends about the 18-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, the gloss black grille throats, and the Wizard black painted instrument panel bolster.

If you prefer to drive on the right-hand side, the Sport RHD may be the best option for you. With its right-hand drive and turbo engine, the RHD is a standout sport utility vehicle.

What about an upscale cabin and exterior convenience features? If those things are important to you, the Sahara will give you all you need. The Sahara boasts side steps, daytime running lamps, ambient LED interior lighting, and appealing interior accents.

The Rubicon’s famous for a few reasons, not the least of which is its impressive off-roading abilities. Features like a Rock-Trac transfer case with a 4-1 low gear ratio for low-speed rock crawling, wide track lockable axles, and locking front and rear differentials make this one a gem you won’t want to miss.

If you’re looking for impressive technology and luxe features, you might want to check out the next two Jeep Wrangler trims: Sahara Altitude and High Altitude. These four-door beauties boast leather-trimmed upholstery and body-colored, three-piece hard tops. The High Altitude offers advanced safety features such as the ParkSense rear park assist system and the blind spot with cross path detection system.

Finally, the Rubicon 392 is the ultimate powerhouse with a HEMI V-8 engine and a 4-to-1 transfer case for increased traction. The 2022 Jeep Wrangler’s top trim offers the ultimate driving experience on and off the road.

Motor Differences

Most of the trims in the 2022 Jeep Wrangler lineup have the 3.6 liter Pentastar V-6 engine producing 285 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque. The Sport RHD and High Altitude trims boast a 2.0 liter turbo I-4 engine. Coming in hot with a 6.4 liter SRT HEMI V-8 engine producing 470 HP and 470 lb-ft of torque is the Rubicon 392.

The first Jeep model to get a V-6 engine was the flagship CJ5. Much of the inspiration for current Jeep Wrangler models comes from steadfast CJ5 parts and motors. If you are in the market for a Jeep Wrangler, check out a reputable dealership near you.
