The 2020 Jeep Wrangler is what the Jeep brand is all about—with roots that date back to the original World War II–era military vehicle—and its off-road capability borders on amazing. While it looks much like the first-generation Jeep that was created to support our troops, it has evolved into a one-of-kind four-wheel-drive vehicle, with tech and luxury to match its off-road chops. It offers everything from air conditioning to leather.

Pros
Throwback styling, heroic off-road capability, you can take off the doors and roof.

Cons
Tight cabin, lots of wind noise, trucklike compared with other SUVs.

By:

Pros
Spacious cabin,
forgiving ride,
generous list of standard and optional tech features.

Cons
Four-cylinder could use a bit more power,
boring driving dynamics,
exterior styling isn't for everyone.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Stylish, quiet and high-tech interior
Roomy seating and a huge cargo area
Added off-road capability with X-Pro trim

Cons
Standard engine supplies leisurely acceleration
Subpar fuel economy from this engine too
