Verdict: Is the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited A Good SUV?

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited possesses all of the same qualities that made and kept the Wrangler SUV such a popular vehicle in the USA. It’s one of the most entertaining and capable off-roaders you can get behind the wheel of and its old-school body-on-frame construction, though dated, gives it the soul and character people have come to love so much. This is, however, also the exact thing that may turn many away from the Wrangler Unlimited, with newer SUVs, particularly the Ford Bronco, delivering more urban-centric and refined driving experiences along with all the features and tech one would want in an everyday cruiser. Jeep does cater to a vast array of appeals with the Wrangler Unlimited though, presenting the 4-door cruiser with several powertrains ranging from mighty V6 powerhouses to more civil and eco-friendly MHEV systems. There are several trims to choose from, too. So, with the price of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited SUV starting at $32,400 and ending at $42,800, there’s a lot of choice in the 2021 model line of the fourth-generation Wrangler and something for just about everyone.

What Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Model Should I Buy?

The Wrangler Unlimited line is presented with an extensive selection of apt powertrains, body configurations, and various trims all providing different levels of performance and luxury. If you’re wanting to get the most out of the Wrangler Unlimited in terms of comfort and convenience, the 80th Anniversary is a good pick with the larger 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen and upgraded Uconnect 4C NAV system, which allows for 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot functionality, and HD and SiriusXM Radio connectivity. It comes with a good selection of other comforts and conveniences but we’d add the modish Sky One-Touch roof. The classic Rubicon, with its heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles, 4:1 Rock-Trac heavy-duty transfer case, and retuned rear axle ratio, is the 2021 Wrangler Unlimited to review if you’re an avid off-roader.
