What are the running costs?

Jeep claims up to 27.2mpg for the Sahara and 24.8mpg for the Rubicon (blame those tyres again), which is likely to be more around 20mpg in real driving. Thirsty work.

Servicing and warranty

Like the rest of Jeep’s cars, the Wrangler comes with a three-year warranty. Jeep is also including all new owners in its Jeep Wave program when they buy a new model, which includes 24/7 roadside assistance.

Reliability

Jeep has slightly wavering reliability in general, but Wranglers don’t seem to be too affected by major issues. The UK has no active recalls for Wrangler models.
