The Jeep Wrangler has a long list of fans, and the 2027 model year gives them a few new things to talk about. The updates are focused and easy to spot. The two-door Willys gets a new hood, the paint list grows, and five special editions stay in the lineup for another year.
The heart of the Wrangler stays true to form. Every one of the nine grades is a 4x4, three engines are on the menu, and the open-air features that made the Wrangler famous are all still here. Here is a friendly walk through what is new for 2027, followed by a quick tour of the lineup and a look at what it can do off the pavement.
The Two-Door Willys Gets a Power Dome Hood
The most visible update for 2027 sits right up front. The two-door Wrangler Willys now comes standard with a vented power dome hood. The four-door Willys already had this hood, so both body styles now match.
The raised, vented shape gives the Willys a bolder face and ties the two body styles together. Owners who like the shorter two-door body now get the same tough look as the four-door. It is a simple change, and it makes the Willys easy to pick out in a parking lot.
Six Fresh Colours Join the Paint List
Colour is a big part of owning a Wrangler, and 2027 brings plenty of new choices. Jeep adds four new shades and introduces two colours that have never been offered before. Two of the six carry a limited-edition label.
- New shades: Gobi, Sting Gray and Hella Yella
- New limited-edition shade: Fathom Blue
- First-ever colour: Ghost
- First-ever limited-edition colour: Gum 31
These join familiar favourites such as Black, Bright White, Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal, Hydro Blue, Earl Grey, ’41 and Joose. That brings the 2027 exterior palette to 14 colours, so there is a shade for every taste, from quiet greys to loud yellows.
Five Special Editions Carry Into 2027
Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve program brought a run of special Wranglers to market, and five of them continue into the 2027 model year. The five are the Moab 392, the Willys 392, the Canada-exclusive Rocky Mountain 392, the Whitecap and the Rockslide.
The Rocky Mountain 392 earns extra attention because it is sold only in Canada. It builds on the Moab 392 and adds 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, 35-inch all-terrain tires and a cold-air intake hood with a water separator. Inside, black Nappa leather seats with red accent stitching and Dark Ruby Red seat belts give the cabin a sporty touch. A “Rocky Mountain” hood-side decal and a red swing-gate plaque finish the outside.
A Quick Tour of the Nine Grades
The 2027 Wrangler lineup includes nine grades. Sport and Sport S open the range. Willys adds a classic look, and Sahara is the comfort-focused four-door with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and remote start as standard. Rubicon and Rubicon X are the trail specialists with the Rock-Trac 4x4 system. At the top sit three V8 grades: Willys 392, Moab 392 and Rocky Mountain 392.
Sport, Sport S, Willys, Rubicon and Rubicon X come in both two-door and four-door body styles. Sahara and the three 392 grades are four-door only. Every 2027 Wrangler is built at the Toledo Assembly Complex.
Three Engines to Choose From
Under the hood, the Wrangler offers three engines, and each one has its own personality.
The 3.6-litre V6 makes 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard on Sport, Sport S and Rubicon with a six-speed manual transmission. An eight-speed automatic with the V6 is optional on four-door Sport, Sport S, Sahara and Rubicon models.
The 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder makes 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque and pairs with an eight-speed automatic. It is standard on Sahara and optional on Sport, Sport S and Rubicon.
The 6.4-litre V8 delivers 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic. It powers the Willys 392, Moab 392 and Rocky Mountain 392, and it is a class-exclusive V8.
Capability Highlights
Every 2027 Wrangler is a 4x4, and Jeep offers four different systems across the lineup: Command-Trac, Rock-Trac part-time, Rock-Trac full-time and Selec-Trac full-time. The system you get depends on the grade you pick.
The numbers show why the Wrangler keeps its trail reputation:
- Maximum towing of up to 5,000 lbs (2,267 kg) when properly equipped, which Jeep rates the top towing figure in its class
- A crawl ratio of up to 100:1 when properly equipped
- Ground clearance of up to 32.7 cm (12.9 inches) and water fording of up to 86 cm (34 inches)
- An approach angle of up to 47.4 degrees, a breakover angle of up to 32.4 degrees and a departure angle of up to 40.4 degrees
Open-air fun is still part of the deal. The Wrangler offers the class-exclusive Sky One-touch powertop, a full-length fabric roof that opens with the push of a button. Toolless door removal and a foldable windshield are class-exclusive too, so sunny days can feel wide open.
