Iconic style with off-road capability
The 2014 Jeep Wrangler is a joy to drive no matter where you are but it excels when the pavement ends. It’ll happily crawl over rocks, trek into the wildness, or zoom across sand. This off-road ability is one of the main reasons to check out the 2014 Jeep Wrangler, which remains mostly unchanged from the previous model year.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Jeep Wrangler
1. Quirky good looks
The distinctive style of the Jeep Wrangler is like nothing else out there. Not only does the retro style stand out on the road but you’ve got a choice of bright colors to look out for. Why not shop around for the vibrant Flame Red, Hydro Blue Pearl, or Copperhead Pearl? No matter which color you choose, you’ll have a head-turning vehicle wherever you go, thanks to the Wrangler’s iconic good looks.
2. Versatile configuration
Want a roof-off driving experience for your next road trip? The Wrangler has you covered. Want to take the doors off so you can enjoy an off-road adventure across the beach? It’s possible in the Wrangler. Want to fold the windscreen for maximum open-air fun? You get the idea. Look out for these available configurations across all Wrangler models.
3. Off-road ability
The Wrangler is a great option if you want to head off-road. Base modes have front and rear stabilizer bars, Command-Trac™ four-wheel drive, and a conventional differential. But look out for the Rubicon for maximum off-road ability. It adds the Rock-Trac™ heavy-duty part-time four-wheel-drive system, alongside locking front and rear axles, rock rails, and more. This means that no matter what type of adventure you want to take, there’s a Wrangler out there for you.
4. Fun to drive on all surfaces
While you might usually see the 2014 Wrangler getting dirty in the wilderness, it’s also fun to drive through town. While the soft top creates a bit of noise, it’s still a great option if you need a good daily driver that’s ready for adventure at the weekends. Look out for optional features such as heated front seats and Bluetooth® streaming audio for maximum enjoyment.
5. Two- and four-door models
It’s possible to find the Wrangler that best suits your needs. Look out for four-door models designated Wrangler Unlimited. These long-wheelbase models give you a little more space in the back seats with 36.3 inches of legroom compared to the two-door model’s 34.6 inches.
