2021 Jeep Wrangler pricing and specs detailed: Ford Bronco-rivalling off-road SUV jumps up in cost

Jeep Australia has increased pricing across its 2021 Wrangler line-up by $800.

Though Jeep Australia would not be drawn on the reason why, it is understood that the weakening Australian dollar and financial pressures has led the brand to bump up pricing.

The range now opens at $52,750 before on-road costs for the Sport S grade, while the Overland is now $62,250 – both in the two-door body style.

For those that want more doors, the Unlimited Night Eagle ($61,750), Unlimited Overland ($66,750) and Unlimited Rubicon ($68,250) are also available.

The only Wrangler that hasn’t gone up in price is the limited-edition Willys grade, which stays at $61,941.

All versions of the Wrangler are now powered by a 3.6-litre Pentastar petrol V6, outputting 209kW/347Nm to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Diesel fans however, are now left wanting as Jeep has discontinued the 147kW/450Nm 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine for the 2021 update.

Despite the change in price, the Wrangler still carries over the same level of specification, meaning dual-zone climate control, push-button start, keyless entry, LED lighting, a 7.0-inch driver display and 7.0-inch Uconnect multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as standard.

Safety systems also extend to forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a reversing camera and automatic headlights across the 2021 Wrangler range.

Night Eagle buyers score the optional Comfort & Sound pack (that costs $3500 for Sport S customers) as standard, as well as blacked-out seats, foglight surrounds, grille and 17-inch wheels.

Buyers stepping up to the Overland grade will score leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats and steering wheel, 18-inch wheels, body-coloured fenders and hardtop, and chrome grille and mirror caps.

Meanwhile, the top-tier Rubicon adds a Rock-Trac Active On-Demand 4x4 system with low-range 4WD mode, as well as Rock and Sand driving settings, locking front and rear differentials, electronic front sway bar disconnect, rock sliders, 17-inch wheels with off-road rubber, and variant-specific decals.

Some interior-focused items are removed though, such as leather seats, heated seats and steering wheel, and the Trail Rail Management system.
