What Are the Jeep Wrangler Trim Levels?
The 2027 Jeep Wrangler trim levels are Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sahara, Rubicon and Rubicon X, plus the V8-powered Willys 392 and Moab 392. Jeep lists the Sahara and both 392 models as four-door only. The other trims come as a two-door or a four-door.

Jeep Wrangler Engines for 2027
The 2027 Wrangler offers three engines, and the trim you pick decides which ones you can get.
| Engine | Horsepower / Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0L turbocharged I-4 | 270 hp / 295 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
| 3.6L Pentastar V-6 | 285 hp / 260 lb-ft | 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic |
| 6.4L HEMI V-8 | 470 hp / 470 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
Kelley Blue Book lists the 3.6L V6 as the base engine on Sport, Sport S, Willys, Rubicon and Rubicon X. It lists the 2.0L turbo as the base engine on the Sahara. The 6.4L V8 is reserved for the Willys 392 and Moab 392.
Entry Trims: Sport and Sport S
The Sport and Sport S are the most straightforward Wranglers, built for drivers who want the classic Jeep experience. Both offer the 3.6L V6 with a choice of a manual or automatic transmission.
For 2027, Jeep adds a 7-inch color instrument display as standard on Sport, Sport S and Willys. The Sport S also gains passive entry. Kelley Blue Book lists alloy wheels as optional on the Sport and standard on the Sport S.
What Is the Jeep Wrangler Willys?
The Wrangler Willys is a heritage-themed trim that sits above the Sport S. Like the Sport S, it gets passive entry and the 7-inch gauge display for 2027.
For 2027, the two-door Willys also gets the vented power dome hood, matching the four-door Willys. Jeep also used the Willys as the base for the 2027 Wrangler Laredo special edition.
What Is the Difference Between the Wrangler Sahara and Rubicon?
The Sahara is built for on-road comfort and features, while the Rubicon is built for the toughest off-road trails. Both are well equipped, but they serve different drivers.
Sahara: Comfort and Features
The Sahara is a four-door-only trim that Kelley Blue Book lists with the 2.0L turbo as its base engine, plus standard leather seats and dual power front seats. For 2027, Jeep adds a long list of standard features:
- Comfort: McKinley trimmed seats and side steps.
- Audio and navigation: Nine-speaker Alpine premium audio and embedded navigation.
- Driver aids: Rear park assist, blind spot and cross path detection, and auto high-beam headlights.
- Convenience: Auto-dimming rearview mirror, universal garage door opener and a front off-road TrailCam.
Rubicon: Trail Hardware
The Rubicon comes standard with Jeep’s part-time Rock-Trac 4×4 system, which uses a 4:1 low gear for slow, controlled crawling. Rubicon models also use an electronic sway bar disconnect. It lets the front wheels drop and compress further over rocks and ruts.
For 2027, Jeep makes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and embedded navigation standard on the Rubicon. Jeep says Wrangler crawl ratios reach up to 100:1 when properly equipped.
What Is the Wrangler Rubicon X?
The Rubicon X is the most upscale Rubicon, pairing Rubicon trail hardware with more comfort features. Kelley Blue Book lists standard leather seats, a power driver’s seat and a top-view camera on both the two-door and four-door Rubicon X. The four-door adds dual power front seats.
The Rubicon X also served as the base for the 2027 Wrangler Switchback, the final model in Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve special edition series.
What Are the Wrangler Willys 392 and Moab 392?
The Willys 392 and Moab 392 are four-door Wranglers powered by the 6.4L HEMI V8 with 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Jeep calls them Twelve 4 Twelve special editions, and both carry over into the 2027 model year. They suit drivers who want V8 sound and power in a Wrangler.
Which 4×4 System Comes on Each Wrangler?
Every 2027 Wrangler has four-wheel drive, and Jeep offers four 4×4 systems across the lineup: Command-Trac, part-time Rock-Trac, full-time Rock-Trac and Selec-Trac full-time. Jeep describes Command-Trac as a part-time system with a 2.72:1 low range. Rock-Trac is standard on Rubicon.
The exact 4×4 system depends on the trim and options, so check the window sticker on any Wrangler you are considering.
How to Choose the Right Jeep Wrangler Trim
The right Wrangler trim depends on how you plan to drive it. Use this quick guide:
- Simple, budget-minded fun: Sport or Sport S.
- Heritage style with more features: Willys.
- Daily comfort and tech: Sahara.
- Serious trail driving: Rubicon.
- Trail hardware plus comfort: Rubicon X.
- V8 power: Willys 392 or Moab 392.
Two-door models are shorter and nimble on tight trails. Four-door models add rear-seat room and cargo space for families. Equipment can vary by package, so always confirm the exact build on the window sticker.
