An Overview of the Available Engines in the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Going into the new year, Jeep provided its flagship model with even more ingenuity. A total of four engine options are now available to the 2021 Jeep Wrangler. With exception to the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and the Jeep Wrangler 392 Rubicon models – which offer their own unique engines – what engines can be equipped to standard Wrangler models? Palmen Motors provides an overview of all four engines available.

Two of the total four powertrains for the 2021 Jeep Wrangler model act as key highlights. Both the 2.0L Turbo and 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine comes on special edition trims or unique models. Models such as the 80th Anniversary trim receive the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine for added power off-road. Meanwhile, the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine provides the highest available fuel economy in the model. However, it still retains the off-road performance and 3,500 lbs of towing capacity as other models.
