    2018 Jeep Wrangler JL is Slightly More Expensive

      Average price increase of $3,020

    With all of the new improvements and technology for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, it was going to slightly more expensive. We now know how much more that will be.

    Motor1 reports that when the Wrangler hits dealers early next year, it will have a starting price of $28,190 (includes a $1,195 destination charge) for the base 2-door Wrangler. This is an increase of $3,000 when compared to the 2017 model. All 2018 Wrangler models see an average increase of $3,020 to their base price.

    You're not getting much with the Wrangler Sport. Standard equipment includes a six-speed manual gearbox, Dana axles, and 17-inch All Season Bridgestone tires. You'll need to shell out some cash if you want power windows and locks; keyless entry, and air conditioning. The Sahara is slightly better equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, painted fenders, upgraded audio system, and power accessories. But Jeep is only offering the Sahara in the 4-door Unlimited which will set you back $38,540.

    Rubicon models come equipped with a load of off-road goodies such as beefier Dana 44 axles, electronic locking differentials, automatic swaybar disconnects, upgraded transfer case, and BF Goodrich off-road tires. The Rubicon begins at $38,190 for the two-door and $41,690 for the four-door Unlimited.

    If you're thinking what I am thinking......can I say a lack of choice (or options) 

    I feel if I am going to have to shell out some extra cash, then it better be made how I want it......

    $3000 is a pretty good chunk. I assume this will be first model year then maybe  an even more dumbed down version in a couple years.

    $28,000 seems like a lot for a base model 2WD 2-door Wrangler though.. when you have to add A/C, power windows/locks.. okay maybe there can't be a lower priced Wrangler!

    OUCH, Seems a 1 star rating by the European safety commision testing auto's. Makes me wonder how the 2019 version will test out here in the US.

    Interesting statement: "It is truly disappointing to see a brand-new car being put on sale in 2018 with no autonomous braking system and no lane assistance," said Michiel van Ratingen, the secretary general of Euro NCAP, in a statement. "It is high time we saw a product from the Fiat Chrysler group offering safety to rival its competitors."

     In its statement to Roadshow, a Fiat Chrysler spokesperson said that an integrated radar and camera modulenestled behind the rearview mirror will give the 2019 Wrangler both automatic braking and adaptive cruise control capabilities.

    Those are optional novelties in the US on some vehicles, are they required equipment in Europe?

    No, or else it wouldn't be sold there.  They're requirements to get 5 stars on the Euro NCAP tests though.

      Mazda News: The Mazda CX-5 Grows for 2026

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      This is interesting, makes sense what Mazda response is for why the Turbo will not be brought back. Hybrid will be equal to or better than the Turbo which has been proven by Toyota with their Rav4 Hybrid which is their fastest auto now in the portfolio. This Is Why Mazda Won't Bring Back The CX-5 Turbo Sadly just far more complexity than needed.

      Or my friend, like me, you will have to spend that money on your kids education! That is why my conversion of my 1994 GMC Suburban never happened and I eventually sold it as I am past the project phase and now into the Grandkids phase. Good luck, the future is going to be an interesting mixture I think over the next two decades. @A Horse With No Name @ccap41 Mazda might have a card that you both will like. The CEO is quoted in this story that they are assessing the return of the Mazda midsize pickup. 2025 Mazda B-Series Unofficially Comes Back to Life to Make America Proud, Again - autoevolution

      You and I both, brother. I just love that class of vehicle. They're sporty, fun, practical, and not (typically) all that expensive to own/operate. They're just all around great vehicles.  I'd like to say that one day I'll own a Focus RS, too. But, I know damn well I likely won't buy one. By the time I'm in a position to buy an extra car or I no longer need the extra space for a family of 4, I'd be getting something with 2 doors and a V8 anyway.

      I really have a sot spot for hot hatches. In another life, I would have bought a Focus RS.  This is sad. Maverick is on my short list, want to see how this is resolved.

      That just sucks in so many ways and is another reason that I would not buy from them. Like GM which has choosen to go against customer choice, I have left another American Company for one that supports choice.  I hope Lincoln wakes up to the fact that unplugging a feature is not a fix. Long term it will cost them imho. Thank you for the update on this.
