New Jeep Wrangler Launch Review

The updated Jeep Wrangler was recently launched in South Africa and Jacob Moshokoa tagged along for the ride. The changes are numerous, with the most significant being the all-new 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol 4-cylinder which is punchier yet less thirsty than the ancient Pentastar V6.

In this video Jacob unpacks the Jeep legacy and shares some highlights from driving through some spectacular scenery of the Western Cape. He also explains the differences between Sahara and Rubicon. Is there still a place for old-school like a Jeep Wrangler in 2025?

Hello Jacob, you are such a character. I love your humour and presenting style. You have improved significantly in terms of comfortability and delivery of information, you are brilliant. When talking about the ancient V6 engine they had, was it not a 3.6? I had one back in the day and dont remember a 3.0L offered with these version. I stamd to be corrected.

1.2 M for that road and wind noise, Guess Jeep only caters for its enthusiacs

Whenever you guys introduce a new American/European product, I always go to your app and compare it to Chinese vehicles. As powerful looking as it it, an RSA economy would force someone to save their R350k and go for the Tank 300 to get the same if not better experience. 🤔

The jeep its unique one of it's kind no other car out there in its platform. They should bring more engine variation especially the diesel 2.L engine. Plus with the one touch sky roof it's dope

This is like the case of the VW Polo Vivo, same-same but different 😂😂😂

These guys are losing the plot, a 2-liter petrol engine worth 1.2 million

Can confirm, driving your Wrangler without doors and roof is quite a fun experience. Decent performance boost too from the weight reduction 😏

Hell no. Jeep can and Stellantis can keep all their products. The price of this thing.

I really love Jacob you anyway make me so happy !

Hey Jacob, you are not supposed to use hazard lights whilst driving - the difficulty to activate them is to dissuade drivers from using hazards willy-nilly!

[friedookiehil]

I thought and HOPED that the fuel consumption would be far better with the 2.0T 4 cylinder. BUT seems I was doing some wishful thinking. That's horrible. Might as well go for 3.6 V6

When can we get the Tank 300 diesel and P300 have both been available in SA for a while now?

[TheAppleLoadout]

For that money I can buy a Ranger Raptor.

Jeep has done a lot of good things in of producing cars

[mandlalloyd]

The question is what we paying for here

[Ca-WP]

I definitely would not agree with your comment that Jeep is 'thriving'. In fact Jeep is in massive trouble right now, their build quality is absolutely crap (plastic parts that should be metal, falling off the car etc). Stellantis is even reviewing Jeep's future viability given how badly things are going for it. So yeah definitely not thriving. Barely even surviving, in fact.

I’d rather buy the Grenadier if I had that cash

[imVyshakh]

I don't think facelift or not is going to impact anything. People would just modify their old Jeeps to make it look better than the newer one.

Tbh waiting for Mahindra Thar to hit SA.

The 2025 Jeep Wrangler vs The 2025 Honda Pilot
