2026 Jeep Wrangler Engine Specifications
All three engines are gas; there is no diesel or hybrid in the 2026 lineup. The V6 and turbo four are available across most trims, while the V8 is exclusive to the Moab 392. The six-speed manual is offered only with the V6.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Transmission |
|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 285 hp @ 6,400 rpm | 260 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm | 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic |
| 2.0L Turbo I4 | 270 hp | 295 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
| 6.4L HEMI V8 (Moab 392) | 470 hp | 470 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
2026 Jeep Wrangler Exterior Dimensions
The single biggest dimensional choice is two-door versus four-door. The two-door is the short, nimble body for tight trails and easy parking; the four-door (Unlimited) adds roughly 21 inches of length on a longer wheelbase for more rear-seat and cargo room. Figures below are for the four-door; the two-door is about 166.8 inches long on a shorter wheelbase. In practice the short wheelbase makes the two-door easier to thread through tight Portsmouth parking and technical trails, while the four-door's longer wheelbase rides more settled on a highway run up I-95.
| Length (four-door) | about 188 in |
| Wheelbase (four-door) | about 118 in |
| Width (without mirrors) | about 74 in |
| Height | about 74 in |
| Track width (front/rear) | about 63 in |
| Length (two-door) | about 166.8 in |

Interior and Cargo Space
The four-door seats five and the two-door seats four. Front-row room is generous and upright, which is part of the Wrangler's appeal. Cargo room in the four-door is roughly 32 cubic feet behind the rear seats and about 72 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, enough for gear runs to a Hampton beach day or a ski trip north to the White Mountains.
| Front legroom | about 41 in |
| Front headroom | about 43 in |
| Rear legroom (four-door) | about 38 in |
| Rear headroom (four-door) | about 42 in |
| Cargo behind rear seats (four-door) | about 32 cu ft |
| Max cargo, rear seats folded (four-door) | about 72 cu ft |
Fuel Economy
The 3.6L V6 four-door is EPA-rated at 18 MPG city / 23 MPG highway. The 2.0L turbo four-cylinder is the efficiency-minded engine and is the one to look at for highway-heavy commuting, while the 6.4L V8 in the Moab 392 is the thirstiest by a wide margin. For the daily commute around Dover, the turbo four is the easiest on fuel. EPA figures vary by body style, transmission, and configuration, so confirm the rating on the specific build you are considering.
Drivetrain, Brakes, and Off-Road Hardware
Every Wrangler is a 4x4 built on solid front and rear axles with a two-speed transfer case, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs with roughly 13-inch rotors. The 4x4 system steps up by trim: Command-Trac on Sport-level trims, Selec-Trac full-time on the Sahara, and the heavy-duty Rock-Trac system with lower-range gearing on Rubicon and Rubicon X, which also add locking front and rear differentials and an electronic sway-bar disconnect. Exact off-road geometry numbers, ground clearance, and approach, breakover, and departure angles vary by trim and tire package; our team can pull the figures for a specific vehicle in inventory. Those solid axles are a deliberate trade: they give up a little on-road polish for the durability and wheel articulation that keep the Wrangler in steady demand across Rockingham County and the wider Southern NH market with owners who actually use the capability.

Towing and Payload
Tow ratings depend heavily on body style, transmission, axle ratio, and tires, with the four-door configurations carrying the higher numbers when properly equipped. Because the rating is so configuration-specific, the figures live on our dedicated Wrangler towing capacity page, and we can confirm the exact rating on any vehicle in stock.

It depends on the engine. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0L turbo four-cylinder makes 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft, and the 6.4L HEMI V8 in the Moab 392 makes 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.
What are the dimensions of the 2026 Wrangler?
The four-door (Unlimited) is about 188 inches long on a 118-inch wheelbase, roughly 74 inches wide without mirrors and about 74 inches tall. The two-door is about 166.8 inches long on a shorter wheelbase, which makes it noticeably more maneuverable on tight trails and in parking.
How much cargo space does the 2026 Wrangler have?
The four-door offers roughly 32 cubic feet behind the rear seats and about 72 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The two-door has less cargo room given its shorter body, so the four-door is the better pick if hauling gear is a priority.
What is the fuel economy of the 2026 Wrangler?
The 3.6L V6 four-door is EPA-rated at 18 MPG city and 23 MPG highway. The 2.0L turbo four-cylinder is the most efficiency-minded engine, while the V8 Moab 392 uses the most fuel. Confirm the exact EPA rating on the body style and engine you are considering.
Does the 2026 Wrangler have a manual transmission?
Yes. A six-speed manual is available, and it pairs only with the 3.6L Pentastar V6. The 2.0L turbo and the 6.4L V8 both use an eight-speed automatic.
