5 reasons to buy the 2023 Jeep Wrangler

1. Open-air feel

Do you love cruising with the wind in your hair? If so, you'll enjoy the 2023 Jeep Wrangler's open-air feel. The 2023 Wrangler comes standard with a removable roof and doors. The 2023 model also allows you to fold down the windshield for the ultimate open-air driving experience. Whether you're taking in towering mountain views or feeling the spray from the surf, you'll feel one with your environment in the 2023 Jeep Wrangler. There's even an available power-roof option, to make cruising al fresco as easy as hitting a button.

2. Powerful engine

You may not think of the Jeep Wrangler as a speedy vehicle, but with the available Hemi® V8 engine the Wrangler can charge from zero to 60 in just 4.5 seconds. If you're racing on a track, you'll love that the Hemi V8 can obliterate a quarter mile in just 13 seconds. If you have a need for speed but also love getting off-road, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler can meet all your needs.

3. Tech for off-road readiness

Jeeps are known for their off-road prowess, and the 2023 Wrangler has the technology to take you even further off the beaten path. If you're an off-road enthusiast with an appreciation for data, you'll love the available off-road pages display. It gives you real-time information on your pitch and tilt—while monitoring your suspension performance, transmission temperature, and more. Prefer a more relaxed driving experience? Opt for the available Selec-Speed® control, which automatically manages acceleration and braking while you're four-wheel driving at low speeds.

4. Ready for accessories

Are you the type of adventurer who loves to have the latest gear? If so, you'll appreciate that the 2023 Jeep Wrangler comes standard with auxiliary switches just waiting to be connected to your accessories. The switches are right on the dash, meaning that you can add after-market gear like off-road lights or a winch, and then control it with the flip of a switch. That's the type of integration that will satisfy even the pickiest drivers.

5. Convenience features

Even the most rough-and-ready explorers like to have some creature comforts. The 2023 Jeep Wrangler has those too. If you live in a cold climate, you'll enjoy the standard heated front seats and steering wheel, and the standard remote start. The standard 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto integration lets you stay connected no matter how far off-road you go.
