2020 Wrangler Gets Three New Special Editions, Several Updates

Power of Three

Almost since its inception, the Jeep Wrangler has been offered in a variety of special editions. These unique offerings are obviously popular among enthusiasts as well as profitable for Fiat-Chrysler. So it's no surprise that 2020 brings not one, but three new special JL Wranglers for buyers to choose from.

Return of the Willys

First up - the much-beloved Willys Edition. Based on the Sport S but closer to the Rubicon in capability, the new Willys features a limited-slip rear differential, Rubicon rock rails and shocks, heavy-duty brakes, and 32-inch Firestone mud-terrain tires.

Inside and Out

On the inside, that theme continues with a Wizard Black painted instrument panel mid bolster and Heritage Tan cloth seats. The Technology Group, featuring Uconnect’s 7-inch radio, a 7-inch driver’s display screen, and dual-zone climate control, is standard. The Wrangler Black & Tan starts out at $32,940 for the two-door model and $36,440 for the four-door version.

Freedom Rings

Rounding out this cool trio of special editions is the Wrangler Freedom, which adds a variety of military-themed accents inside and out. Jeep hasn't released any more specific details or pricing for this particular model just yet, however.

Upgraded Powertrains

Aside from these new special edition models, the 2020 Wrangler also features a host of upgrades. That includes the powertrain options, of course. Wrangler Sport and Rubicon models now offer a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with ESS. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with mild-hybrid eTorque technology is now exclusively available in Wrangler Sahara models.

Diesel Power

The most exciting powertrain news, however, is the availability of a new diesel option. In response to overwhelming consumer demand, a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 with ESS will be available later in 2020 on Sport, Rubicon, and Sahara models.

8.4-inch Uconnect system with navigation. For 2020, the Wrangler Sport also offers LED headlamps and fog lamps as optional equipment.
