What is the Jeep Wrangler?

The Wrangler is Jeep’s open-air 4x4, with familiar styling cues including round headlamps, a seven-slot grille and removable doors. In the JK generation, it came as a two-door model or the longer four-door Wrangler Unlimited, giving drivers a choice of body styles and extra space for passengers and luggage.

The JK generation appears in EU registration figures from 2010 to 2018 and in Canadian listings from 1997. Its design kept the Wrangler’s distinctive shape and open-air features.

Engines and power

European versions ranged from 2.0 L to 3.8 L, with diesel, petrol and other fuel types. Power ranged from 130 kW (177 PS) to 200 kW (272 PS). The 2.8 L diesel rated at 147 kW (200 PS) was a leading configuration, with high registration counts in both 2011 and 2018. Canadian listings separately cover four petrol versions with engines from 2.5 L to 4.0 L.

How economical is the Wrangler?

Official EU registration figures cover 18 versions from 2010 to 2018, with 17,335 registrations in total. Canada’s NRCan lists a lowest consumption figure of 13.4 L/100 km on its 5-cycle test. European consumption tests use WLTP or the earlier NEDC procedure; the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses a 5-cycle test. Results differ by procedure and are not directly comparable.

Where was the Wrangler sold?

The JK appears in EU registration figures from 2010 through 2018. Canadian listings cover petrol versions from 1997. The Wrangler’s removable doors and open-air body styles are central to its distinctive design, while the four-door Unlimited adds room for passengers and luggage.
