Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The 392 is the same naturally aspirated Hemi unit found in the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack, making 470bhp and 470lb ft. It sounds gravelly and archaic, rather than woofly and smooth like the twin-turbocharged V8s we get here in Europe. The engine is mated to an automatic eight-speed gearbox. Top speed is limited to 99mph to protect the all-terrain tyres.

Pros

Fantastic off-road performance
Gorgeous looks
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Not the most fun to drive

autoexpress^[2]

Reviewer score 59% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

There's plenty of leg and shoulder room for passengers in the front seats of the Wrangler. The extended length of the four-door car means space in the back is acceptable, too. In the two-door the rear seats are cramped, as well as awkward to get into. The Wrangler's rugged simplicity has always been a selling point for those wishing to take their vehicle off road.

Pros

Rugged, rugged design
Easy to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

Lack of safety equipment
Only one star rating

The 392 is one of the US-market cars Clive Sutton is happy to import here in the UK for an interested buyer. The team's also working on bringing the Ford Bronco here, among other Americana usually off limits to us. All of the importation paperwork is done by the team, a two-year (or 30,000-mile) warranty is provided, for the sum of £105,000 all in.

Pros

Superb off-road performance
Punchy V8
Fun to drive

Cons

Not very refined

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

The top-of-the-line Rubicon model has all the off-road goodies I could want. Front and rear locking differentials, full skid plate protection, rock rails and a 4:1 low-range gear ratio. But that doesn't mean the Rebelle Rally is a walk in the park.

Pros

Best-in-class off-road performance
Powerful engine
Excellent fuel economy

Cons

Lack of storage cubbies

digitaltrends^[5]

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

powered Wrangler will carry a 5.1-gallon diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank behind the regular fuel tank. DEF is injected into the exhaust to convert harmful emissions to water and nitrogen. Owners will refill the DEF tank approximately every 10,000 miles, the same mileage required for oil changes.

Pros

EcoDiesel engine
Excellent off-road performance
Excellent fuel economy

Cons

Expensive compared to other Wranglers
