2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Review : 8 Pros & 7 Cons

If there’s one name synonymous with 'off-road fun' - it’s the Wrangler. It has a strong legacy and continues to stay true to its nature.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Pros

  • A timeless design with loads of character
  • One of the best offroaders on the planet
  • Good build quality and abuse-friendly nature
  • Highly customizable. You can go crazy with modifications
  • Punchy 268-BHP 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is refined and smooth
  • 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox is competent and does the job well on / off-road
  • Loads of off-road tech (locking differentials, sway bar disconnect, full-float rear axle, etc.)
  • Features list includes ADAS tech, front camera, new 12.3-inch touchscreen, 9-speaker Alpine sound system, heated steering wheel & front seats, 12-way powered front seats, and more

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Cons

  • Lack of engine options. No diesel engine on offer, nor a larger petrol (available internationally)
  • Ride quality is too bumpy for this Jeep to be your daily driver
  • Backseat isn't comfortable over long distances. Also, best for 2 adults and not 3
  • A 1-star Euro-NCAP safety rating is a dealbreaker for most buyers
  • On-road dynamics are poor, more so with the stock MT tyres (Jeep should've given AT tyres). Best to stick to safe speeds
  • Driver footwell is cramped and will get uncomfortable over long drives
  • Missing features like auto wipers, auto folding mirrors, a dead pedal, a 360-degree camera and ventilated seats
