2027 Jeep Wrangler
Starting at $38,630, the 2027 Wrangler pairs Jeep's legendary 4x4 capability with up to 470 hp on the Rubicon-based 392.
Quick Answer
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler is still the vehicle every other Seacoast SUV gets measured against, for the same reason it always has been: it is the one Jeep built to do the open-top beach cruise on Route 1A through Rye and Hampton in July and the salt-caked, pothole-cratered commute in February without asking you to choose. Starting at $38,630 for a two-door Sport and climbing to a 470-hp V8 on the Moab 392, the lineup spans a genuine budget off-roader and a genuine muscle truck under one nameplate. At Jeep Portsmouth on Lafayette Road, that range is on the lot now, in both 2-door and 4-door body styles, with the removable doors and three-piece Freedom Top that make this Jeep's open-air argument a lived-in reality on the Seacoast rather than a brochure line.
Jeep Portsmouth is a Jeep-only rooftop, so the Wrangler here is never competing for attention against a showroom full of Ram trucks or Chrysler minivans; it is the volume vehicle on a lot built around the Jeep lineup. Most shoppers walking in already know they want a Wrangler. The real question is which engine, which drivetrain, and how much off-road hardware actually pays off on New Hampshire roads.
Three gas engines carry the 2027 lineup, and no plug-in hybrid is offered. Jeep discontinued the Wrangler 4xe after the 2025 model year, and it has not returned. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 is the volume engine across Sport, Sport S, Willys, Rubicon and Rubicon X, rated at 285 hp and 260 lb-ft, and it is the only engine offered with a 6-speed manual transmission (an 8-speed automatic is available on every gas engine). The 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 270 hp and 295 lb-ft, trading a little top-end for stronger low-RPM torque, useful for towing a boat down to a Great Bay ramp or pulling a loaded trailer up the Route 16 grades toward the Lakes Region. At the top of the lineup, the 6.4L HEMI V8 in the Willys 392 and Moab 392 makes 470 hp and 470 lb-ft, well ahead of every other Wrangler trim, and Jeep pairs it exclusively with the 8-speed automatic.
EPA combined ratings run from 21 mpg on the 2-door turbo down to 14 mpg on the V8 392, per fueleconomy.gov. The 4-door V6 automatic is rated 17 city / 22 highway / 19 combined for 2027, and the 4-door automatic's highway figure moved down slightly from the 2026 rating.
The 2027 Wrangler runs eleven trims deep once you count the limited editions. Sport ($38,630) is the value entry point with the V6 and cloth seats. Sport S ($41,780) adds larger wheels, foglamps and upgraded cloth. Willys pairs off-road hardware (33-inch tires, a locking rear differential and Trail Rated badging) with a lower price than the Rubicon. Rubicon ($48,705) is the benchmark trail trim: front and rear locking differentials, an electronically disconnecting front sway bar, and 33-inch mud-terrain tires. Rubicon X ($58,555) layers on a Sky One-Touch power top and leather. Sahara is the comfort-first four-door, built around the turbo engine and a quieter ride. The Willys 392 and Moab 392 put the 470-hp V8 into Rubicon-grade off-road hardware, starting near $71,990 and $81,990 respectively. New for 2027, the Rewind Edition brings retro styling with iced-blue and plum interior accents and bronze tow hooks, and the 85th Anniversary Edition marks the brand's anniversary with its own trim package, both worth a look on the lot if heritage styling is part of the decision.
Every figure above is a starting price; options, paint and dealer-installed accessories move the final number. See the full trim-by-trim breakdown, standard equipment and starting prices on the 2027 Wrangler Trims page.
Uconnect 5 on a 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard across the lineup, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built in, so there's no cable hunting before a Seacoast road trip. An 8-speaker system is standard, and Jeep offers voice-activated audio control and external digital memory presets so a shared household Wrangler keeps everyone's settings straight. The digital gauge cluster and available off-road pages (steering angle, pitch and roll) turn the dash into a trail computer once you leave pavement, more useful on a Wrangler than on most other vehicles on the lot.
Four-door models seat five with 72.4 cu ft of cargo space when the rear seats fold, and a meaningful amount left over behind them with the second row upright, enough for a Seacoast grocery run or a long-weekend bag haul without folding anything down. Two-door models trade some of that room for a tighter turning radius that pays off on Portsmouth's older downtown streets and tighter marina parking. The removable doors and windows and the three-piece hardtop are still the Wrangler's real interior story: nothing else on the lot converts from a sealed daily driver to a fully open-air Seacoast cruiser in the time it takes to pull a few bolts.
A 2-door Wrangler tows up to 2,000 lbs, enough for a small utility trailer or a jet ski. Four-door models tow 3,500 lbs standard and up to 5,000 lbs properly equipped with a 4.10 rear axle and the 8-speed automatic, enough to pull a mid-size boat down to a Great Bay or Piscataqua ramp for a Seacoast weekend. Gross vehicle weight rating runs from 5,100 lbs on a base 2-door Sport up toward the low 6,000s on heavier configurations. Every published figure here is a weight-carrying (conventional-hitch) rating, the classification Jeep's own owner's documentation uses, so confirm the exact number for your specific build before you hook up a trailer.
Ground clearance runs from 9.7 to 11.1 inches depending on trim, and the Rubicon's locking differentials plus disconnecting sway bar are what actually separate a trail-capable Jeep from a Jeep-shaped SUV. New Hampshire's freeze-thaw season chews up back roads every February and March, and the same wheel articulation and low-range gearing that gets a Rubicon over a rock ledge is what keeps a Wrangler composed over a frost-heaved dirt road that would otherwise be a suspension hazard. Rock-Trac's 4:1 low-range ratio (available with a crawl ratio up to 100:1 on Rubicon) and Command-Trac's 2.72:1 ratio cover the spread from serious rock crawling to everyday winter traction.
Standard safety equipment includes electronic stability control, a full airbag suite and a backup camera. The available Safety Group package adds ParkSense rear park assist, auto high-beam headlamp control, and blind-spot monitoring with cross-path detection, worth checking for on a used or in-transit unit since it is optional rather than standard across the lineup. Given how many Wranglers run with doors and roof off for half the year on the Seacoast, ask specifically about aftermarket and factory door-off mirror and camera compatibility if blind-spot coverage matters to your daily commute. Every 2027 Wrangler carries Jeep's standard 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, the same coverage floor as the rest of the lineup.
A well-equipped Rubicon 4-door with a few options costs meaningfully more than its $48,705 starting point before incentives. Ask the team at Jeep Portsmouth for the current build-and-price on any unit on the lot.
Jeep Portsmouth is a Jeep-only store on Route 1, which means the sales team's whole job is knowing this lineup cold, not splitting attention across Ram trucks and Chrysler minivans. That matters on a model with this many trim, engine and drivetrain combinations: the difference between a Willys and a Rubicon, or a properly-equipped 5,000-lb tow package versus the standard 3,500-lb rating, is exactly the kind of detail that gets lost at a multi-brand store and doesn't get lost here. For NH Seacoast buyers weighing eleven months of road salt against six months of doors-off summer driving, that's the conversation this dealership has every day.
The 2027 Wrangler starts at $38,630 for a 2-door Sport, including destination. Four-door models and higher trims run higher; see the Trims page for the full breakdown.
No. The Wrangler 4xe was discontinued after the 2025 model year, and Jeep's own current lineup lists no electrified Wrangler for 2027; every configuration on the lot is gas-only.
A 2-door tows up to 2,000 lbs. A 4-door tows 3,500 lbs standard and up to 5,000 lbs properly equipped (the V8 392s stay at 3,500 lbs). Full detail is on the Specs page.
Both carry the Rubicon's locking differentials and disconnecting sway bar. Rubicon X adds the Sky One-Touch power top and leather-trimmed seats, and starts at $58,555 versus the standard Rubicon's $48,705.
Only the Willys 392 and Moab 392 get the 6.4L HEMI V8's 470 hp and 470 lb-ft. Every other trim runs the V6 or the turbo four.
Yes. Four-wheel drive is standard on every trim, and the Rubicon's low-range gearing and articulation that handle rock crawling in the summer are the same hardware that keeps a Wrangler composed on a frost-heaved back road in February. Winter tires are still worth the investment for anyone driving daily through a Seacoast winter.
The Wrangler is a dedicated SUV; the Gladiator is a mid-size pickup built on a stretched Wrangler platform with a 5-foot bed and a higher 7,700-lb max tow rating. See the full breakdown on the Wrangler vs. Gladiator comparison.
