Fuel consumption 9.3 – 13.4 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 70%(view ratings)
The direct descendant of the Willys from the Second World War, the Wrangler – although it has been enormously refined over the years – remains infinitely more comfortable off the road than on it. There’s the Command-Trac transfer case for solid off-roading, and the Rock-Trac for more extreme conditions. If the trail seems impossible to navigate, you’ll have lots of fun. Those who want to use their Wrangler for normal day-to-day driving (even just a little) should opt for the Unlimited, which is a longer version.
