When you are ready to shop, the current Wrangler inventory shows what is on the lot.
PRICING & AVAILABILITY
In rough MSRP terms, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler starts around the mid-$30,000s for the two-door Sport and climbs to around $80,000 for the V8-powered Moab 392. Where a given Wrangler lands depends on its body style, trim, engine, and options, so the live sticker on a specific vehicle is the accurate figure. MSRP excludes destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees, and optional equipment, and the dealer sets the final price. For current pricing on the Wranglers in stock, browse the inventory at Covert CDJR Bee Cave or ask our team for an out-the-door quote.
Yes. The 2026 Jeep Wrangler is in production and arriving at dealerships, and you can shop what is on the lot through the Wrangler inventory page online. Availability of specific trims, colors, and packages changes constantly, especially for the limited Moab 392 and Willys 392 and the monthly Twelve 4 Twelve special editions, so the in-stock list is where you can see what you can drive home today. If the exact configuration you want is not on the lot, our team can help you locate one or place a factory order. Serving Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and Leander, Covert CDJR Bee Cave can check current availability for you.
ENGINES & PERFORMANCE
The 2026 Wrangler offers three gas engines. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque and is the engine you pair with the six-speed manual. The 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder produces 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque and uses the eight-speed automatic. At the top, the 6.4L HEMI V8 delivers 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque and powers the four-door Moab 392 and Willys 392 special editions. Both gas engines run on 87-octane regular fuel, and the turbo reaches its optimal output on 91-octane premium.
Fuel economy depends on the engine. The 2.0L turbo four is the efficiency leader at an EPA-estimated 21 MPG combined. The 3.6L V6 returns roughly 19 to 20 MPG combined depending on whether you choose the manual or automatic, and the 6.4L V8 in the Moab 392 comes in around 14 MPG combined. Two-door and four-door body styles post similar numbers for a given engine. If fuel economy is your priority, the turbocharged four is the one to look at, while the V8 trades efficiency for power.
Towing capacity depends on the configuration. A two-door 4×4 is rated to pull up to 2,000 pounds with a conventional hitch when properly equipped. Most four-door 4×4 models in standard form are rated for 3,500 pounds, and a properly equipped four-door 4×4 with the eight-speed automatic and a conventional hitch can tow up to 5,000 pounds. That maximum applies to specific four-door V6 and four-cylinder configurations, and the exact figure depends on the engine, axle, and tow equipment on a given vehicle. Because the final rating is printed on the door-jamb label, confirm it for the specific Wrangler you are considering. Our Wrangler towing guide breaks the numbers down by body style and configuration.
Yes. The 2026 Wrangler still offers a six-speed manual, which makes it one of the few SUVs you can still row yourself. The six-speed manual is available only with the 3.6L V6 engine. If you prefer to let the Wrangler do the shifting, the eight-speed automatic is offered on V6 models and is standard on the 2.0L turbo and 6.4L V8 versions. Both gearboxes are capable on and off the pavement, so the choice comes down to how you like to drive.
FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY
Every 2026 Wrangler, from the Sport to the Rubicon, comes standard with a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims can be equipped with a premium Alpine audio system, and you also get a digital gauge cluster and connected-vehicle services. Off-road extras such as forward-facing trail cameras and trail information pages can be added on select trims. For a full feature-by-feature breakdown, see our Wrangler specs page for the details.
Yes, open-air freedom is still core to the Wrangler. The three-piece Freedom Top hardtop is removable, the doors come off with an easier-to-use hinge system, and the windshield still folds down flat. A soft top is also offered for quick open-air access. This open-air design is a Wrangler signature, since very few SUVs let you take off the roof, doors, and windshield the way it does. If you want to see how it works, the team at Covert CDJR Bee Cave can walk you through it on a test drive anytime.
TRIMS & CONFIGURATIONS
The 2026 Wrangler core lineup runs Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sahara, Rubicon, and Rubicon X. The Sahara is offered as a four-door only, while the others come in two-door or four-door body styles. Above the core trims sit the V8 special editions, the four-door Moab 392 and Willys 392, plus the rotating Twelve 4 Twelve limited editions released through the 2026 model year. For a side-by-side look at what each trim includes, its off-road hardware, and pricing, visit our Wrangler trims comparison page.
The two-door Wrangler has a shorter wheelbase, seats four, and offers noticeably less cargo room. The four-door, sometimes called the Unlimited, seats five, stretches the wheelbase for a smoother ride, and opens up to 72.4 cubic feet of cargo. The four-door also carries a larger 21.5-gallon fuel tank, versus 17.5 gallons in the two-door, and is the better choice if you plan to tow. If you mostly daily-drive and carry passengers or gear, the four-door is the practical pick. If trail agility and a classic look matter more, the two-door is hard to beat.
All 2026 Wranglers are Trail Rated, but the Rubicon and Rubicon X are the dedicated off-road trims. They add the Rock-Trac 4×4 system with a 4:1 low range, electronic front and rear locking differentials, an electronic front sway-bar disconnect, and 33-inch off-road tires. The Willys is a strong middle option, with a rear locker and off-road tires at a lower price. Buyers who want serious capability with V8 power look at the Moab 392 and Willys 392. For a deeper trim-by-trim breakdown of the off-road gear, see the Wrangler trims page for the full picture.
SERVICE & OWNERSHIP
Jeep covers the 2026 Wrangler with a 3-year or 36,000-mile basic limited warranty and a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, whichever comes first. Roadside assistance runs for 5 years or 60,000 miles as well. Additional coverage, including corrosion protection and any current Mopar vehicle protection plans, can be confirmed by VIN with our service team. For routine upkeep and service intervals, see our Wrangler maintenance guide or contact Covert CDJR Bee Cave to schedule a visit.
Like many modern vehicles, the 2026 Wrangler uses an oil-life monitoring system that signals when an oil change is due rather than a fixed mileage, and the owner’s manual lays out the full schedule for filters, fluids, brakes, and tires. Following that schedule, with genuine parts and factory-trained technicians, is the right way to protect your investment. Our Wrangler maintenance guide covers the major service milestones in detail, and the service team at Covert CDJR Bee Cave can confirm the exact intervals for your specific VIN.
