Description
The 2014 Jeep Wrangler is the quintessential off-road icon, blending timeless seven-slot grille styling with rugged, boxy proportions and removable doors, top, and windshield for unparalleled open-air freedom in two-door or four-door Unlimited variants.
Powered by a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine generating 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, it pairs with a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission and part-time four-wheel drive featuring high/low-range gearing for conquering rocks, mud, and steep inclines.
The Rubicon trim elevates capability with 33-inch all-terrain tires, electronic front and rear locking differentials, and a Rock-Trac transfer case for extreme trails, while achieving 17 mpg city/21 highway efficiency that prioritizes adventure over thrift.
Safety includes standard electronic stability control, hill-start assist, trailer sway control, and four-wheel antilock disc brakes, though its three-star NHTSA frontal rating underscores the need for cautious on-road driving amid its firm, live-axle suspension.
The cabin offers durable, water-resistant materials with cloth or optional leather seats, ample front headroom, and fold-flat capabilities, though rear access remains tight in two-door models and wind noise is noticeable with the top down.
Technology features a five-inch Uconnect touchscreen with Bluetooth audio streaming, USB ports, and available navigation or rearview camera, plus clear-lens turn signals and an optional premium soft top for refined daily usability.
On pavement, precise steering and a compliant ride handle highways decently, but the Wrangler thrives off-road with 10 inches of ground clearance and approach angles up to 44 degrees, making it a trailblazer’s dream despite secondary vibrations.
Available in Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon trims starting around $22,000 new, the 2014 Wrangler delivers legendary durability, a lifetime of Jeep heritage, and unmatched versatility for those who live to explore beyond the beaten path.
