What’s it like to drive?
Reviewers opinion
"We’re not sure that it’s a good idea for a short-wheelbase Jeep to be capable of high speeds, but the smallest Wrangler over-delivers on this measure nonetheless. 209 kW and 347 Nm, combined with well-chosen gear ratios and sharply-responsive throttle mapping, makes for a snappy pull-away and plenty of pulling power through the gears. ."
